The Federal Government has announced plans to employ more health workers and engage Nigerian medical professionals in the diaspora as part of efforts to curb the ongoing “Japa” syndrome.
The initiative aims to strengthen the nation’s healthcare sector by filling workforce gaps caused by the mass migration of professionals seeking better opportunities abroad. Officials emphasize that the government is committed to improving working conditions and offering incentives to retain talent while leveraging the expertise of Nigerians practicing overseas.
This move comes in response to growing concerns over the shortage of medical personnel in the country, which has significantly impacted healthcare delivery. Stakeholders have welcomed the plan but urge swift implementation to prevent further brain drain.
