A report released by the Mo Ibrahim Foundation revealed that African countries footed a bill of $4.6 billion in training doctors who were later recruited by the United Kingdom , USA, CANADA and AUSTRALIA.

The current country affected by this canker is Africa’s most populous country, Nigeria. With an estimated population figure of over 180 million people, Nigeria is meant to possess a substantial number of doctors to handle the upper demands for health service delivery across the country.

Successive governments are criticized strongly for the low budget allocation to the world , resulting in the underfunding of health activities and remuneration of doctors. consistent with reports, a doctor in Nigeria earns about N200, 000 ($560) monthly, relative to the high salaries and better opportunities offered by these foreign countries.

Nations like British , America, Emirati, Saudi Arabia and lots of others are taking advantage of the prevailing situation within the country by fixing agencies that sells their offers, recruit most of the simplest doctors and migrate them out of the country.
