The Nigeria Medical Association has called on Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State to reverse the trend of doctors and other healthcare workers leaving the service of the state. The association made the appeal in a statement via the state NMA Chairman, Dr Kabiru Zubair, following the exit of 88 medical personnels from the state public service.

According to Zubair, “Under this administration, a total of 88 doctors have left the Kogi Civil Service; previously, 79 left plus another nine who had succeeded in securing new employment recently. Doctors and other healthcare workers remained the drivers of healthcare delivery anywhere in the world. Steps such as the payment of outstanding salary arrears, implementation of the corrected CONMESS, promotion and annual step increment, among others, are needed to reverse this unfortunate trend.
