Chris Ngige, Nigeria's Minister of Labour who appeared on Channels TV Sunrise Daily show, stated that Doctors are free to leave Nigeria because we have more than enough. Chris Ngige who stated that doctors are free to leave Nigeria as he defended report of doctors searching for green pastures outside Nigeria, added that “if you have surplus, you export.”

Reacting to Maupe Ogun's question on if he was worried with the rate doctors leave Nigeria, the Minister of Labour said; “No, I am not worried (about doctors leaving the country). We have surplus. If you have surplus, you export. It happened some years ago here. I was taught chemistry and biology by Indian teachers in my secondary school days.

“There are surplus in their country and we also have surplus in the medical profession in our country. I can tell you this. In my area, we have excess. Who said we don’t have enough doctors? We have more than enough. You can quote me. There is nothing wrong in them travelling out.”

Stupidity is when Buhari travels to London to see.... (you guessed it) a Nigerian doctor.

And that's partly because of these same Doctors, especially, those on the Govt payroll.

Most of them 'working' in Govt hospitals run their private hospitals (or join others in referring patients to either their colleagues' or personal hospitals. Not even mentioning how they divert drugs meant for Govt hospitals to thiers).

One of the reasons they go on stike is because Govt is trying to prevent Docs in Govt employ from running private clinics.

Govt has a very big problem here but if you know what these people do...

You seems not to understand what they call patriotism

Criticize objectively

Commend when it’s right

Not party based politics like most of you do

Nobody supports 'brain drain' or 'capita flight' but if you look closely at what he said, you might not fault what he said based on our present capacity.
He is the Minister of labour, he even said you can quote him...
