NEWS - Nigerian Nurses In Europe Out Number Nurses in Nigeria

newsexpressngr.com



Nigeria's Today Newspaper is reporting that there are more Nigerian Nurses in Europe than in Nigeria.

Mr Michel Arrion, the Head of European Union Delegation to Nigeria and ECOWAS, confirmed this fact. Arrion told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Thursday that the health professionals would better serve to provide and deliver social services to Nigeria. He said that a situation whereby some Nigerians travel to European countries and remained to work was not in the interest of the country. “You give visas to students and they study in Europe and they stay in Europe. No, please go back and develop your country. I think it is very important. We must avoid what we call brain drain.
“I always take the example of the number of Nigerian nurses in European hospitals. There are more Nigerian nurses in European hospitals than in Nigeria. But of course, if they go back (to Europe), if they send back money, that’s very good. “They (Nigerians) should be better trained (in Europe) and come back (to Nigeria) and better serve and provide and deliver social services to their compatriots,” he said.

  1. Cos Nigeria does not value healthcare. Nigeria does not have regard for CNAs, Nurses, Doctors and all allied healthcare workers. This news should not be a shock to Nigeria. The government refuses to pay a decent wage so what do you expect. Of course people will look for greener pastures, you can not blame them at all.
