Nigerian doctors set to leave the country as International flights resume

A large number of doctors are set to exit Nigeria once the ban on international flights is lifted this week, The PUNCH has learnt.

This is just as The PUNCH observed from data provided by the United Kingdom’s Medical Council that the number of Nigerian doctors migrating to the UK increased by almost 100 between July and August despite the restriction on international flights.

Recall that the Nigeria Immigration Service had in July prevented 58 Nigerian doctors from migrating to the UK because they didn’t have visas.
