Two Public Affairs Analysts have linked the migration in the health sector to the widespread of insecurity plaguing the country.

The Public Affairs Analysts, Barrister Kunle Abimbola and Mr Kayode Atolani made this known while featuring on Pensioners’ FM weekend Current Affairs Programme “ Voice of Liberation”

Barrister Abimbola and Mr Atolani noted that the pervasive insecurity in the country is a significant factor driving health workers to seek opportunities in other countries.

Barrister Abimbola and Mr Atolani expressed deep concern over the rising incidents of kidnappings among health workers, saying it has crippled health services in the nation.

They urged the government to urgently address the issue.

This comes in the wake of the ongoing seven-day warning strike initiated by the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD), in response to the abduction of their colleague, Dr Ganiyat Popoola, who has been in captivity for eight months.
