FG, Senate To Ban Foreign Exams
Nigeria is led by a President and Ministers who lack ideas and who lack the will to make any impact in their departments. This I know for sure. All the problems we face can be solved by men who have IDEAS.
The rate at which we lose professionals is alarming and no serious nation should tolerate that. But how do we stop it??……………………..Continue Reading
A) The best way to stop #Japa is to BAN many foreign exams in Nigeria. Exams like PLAB for doctors should be permanently BANNED in Nigeria and writing that exam should be criminalized.
B) Any exam that targets Doctors & Nurses should be banned both online and offline. And severe consequences imposed on vendors of these exams.
C) Impose flight tax on travelling professionals to discourage #japa. A Tax of 500% of Ticket fee (for professionals only) would go a long way.
D) Place restrictions on exams like TOEFL, IELTS, GMAT, British Council, etc. These exams put pressure on foreign exchange and offer no returns to Nigerians. They are also conduits to extract our best minds to go and develop foreign countries. They serve Nigeria no purpose.
E) Impose a “License Retention Fee” in Medical Practise that Nigerian trained Doctors/Nurses must pay a License Holding Fee of N3.5m before leaving the country.
Failure to Pay would mean they can never ever practise in Nigeria if/when they Return. This is very important.
The FG and Senate should as a matter of Urgency put these ideas to reality. We can’t continue like this, losing trained doctors, surgeons and consultants..
FG, use your head.
