FG Rejects Doctors’ Exodus Bill, Residents Threaten Strike

In a bold move, the Federal Government has dismissed a proposed bill aimed at curbing the migration of Nigerian doctors to other countries, citing its impracticality. The Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, expressed this stance during a press briefing after an extraordinary Federal Executive Council meeting. The bill, introduced by a Lagos State representative, sought to mandate Nigerian medical practitioners to practice within the country for a minimum of five years before obtaining a full license.

The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors has strongly opposed the bill, declaring their intent to initiate a five-day warning strike to resist what they perceive as an attempt to “enslave” doctors. Among their demands are a 200% increase in salaries, the implementation of relevant medical residency training acts, and hazard allowance reviews.

Minister Ngige emphasized that the bill contradicts existing labor laws and stated that alternative approaches should be explored to address the brain drain without resorting to such measures. He further asserted that the ongoing discussions between the government and the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) should render the strike unnecessary, as the NMA is the recognized body for negotiations.

Meanwhile, the Federal Executive Council approved the Universal Implementation of the Employee Compensation Act 2010, which provides comprehensive protection and compensation for workers who experience job-related accidents, injuries, diseases, disabilities, or fatalities. This decision is seen as a positive development for Nigerian workers, aligning with international standards outlined in the International Labour Organization’s Convention 102.

Amidst the tussle between the government and medical professionals, the fate of the bill and the impending strike hang in the balance, as stakeholders continue to engage in dialogue to find a mutually acceptable resolution.
