Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo has called on governments at all levels to incentivize doctors and other healthcare workers to prevent their mass migration abroad, known as "Japa."
He emphasized the need for governments to offer attractive incentives to retain healthcare professionals.
The call was made during the commissioning of a hospital in Zamfara State on Tuesday, June 17.
“For hospitals, especially when many Nigerians who have been trained as medical personnel are ‘japa-ing’, which is going out of the country, looking for better conditions, how do you hold them here? You have to give them a bit of incentive.
We need all the personnel that we can have because our hospitals have to deliver. You need the right environment and that is the refurbishing, renovation but you need the right equipment and then you need the personnel.”he said
