Nigeria Can Earn Forex By Exporting Doctors, Says Bauchi Governor
Bauchi Governor Bala Mohammed on how Nigeria can export doctors and earn foreign currency
Bala Mohammed, the executive governor of Bauchi State, has stated that Nigeria ought to take advantage of the medical doctors' migration overseas in order to generate foreign exchange.
He claimed that because Nigerian physicians are highly sought after overseas, the government ought to educate more of them and send them there in order to receive “repatriation of money.”
Mohammed made the suggestion during a courtesy visit to the Tertiary Education Trust Fund on Tuesday in Abuja.
According to him, “Go by what they want and produce more (doctors) and be exporting and getting repatriation of money coming back not only to Bauchi, but to other states. That's why we're repositioning our schools for nursing health technology and university to produce more doctors since we are found to be competent.
“I think we should not be crying over spilled milk, The more they need, the more we should produce for our national need and their need and we need your (TETFund) support in that as well.”
