In a bid to halt the increasing numbers of medical doctors leaving Nigeria for greener pastures, a Bill sponsored by Rep Ganiyu Abiodun Johnson to prevent Nigerian-trained medical or dental practitioners from being granted full licences until they have worked for a minimum of five years in the country, has passed second reading stage in the House of Representatives.The Bill is titled, “A Bill for an Act to amend the Medical and Dental Practitioners Act, Cap M379, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004 to mandate any Nigerian-trained medical and dental practitioner to practice in Nigeria for a minimum of five years before being granted a full license by the Council in order to make quality health services available to Nigeria; and for related matters (HB.2130)”.
Rep Uzoma Nkem-Abonta, however, opposed the Bill on the ground that it was more like enslavement while the sponsor of the Bill told the House that it was only fair for medical practitioners who enjoyed taxpayer subsidies on their training to give back to the society by working for a minimum number of years in Nigeria before exporting their skills abroad.
Majority voice votes passed the Bill for second reading during plenary presided over by the speaker, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila.

Yes 👍 ooo, good idea by federal government
But they don't have right to say where doctors will work,, why do these wicked government want to make Nigerians slaves,, 🤔🤔🤔
The bill is a devilish one. They should have stopped Buhari from his medical trips abroad.
The law makers should also sponsor and pass a bill that prohibit government officials and politicians from seeking medical treatment outside Nigeria... Infact, all senator and house of assemblies members should use the hospitals in their constituency.. wicked people, go and stop them naw
