Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has advocated better welfare conditions for medical workers, stressing that they must be given the right incentives if employers of labour want them to remain in Nigeria and not migrate overseas.
The former Nigerian leader said it was not enough for the governments at federal, sub-national and local levels to build health centres; they must provide the necessary equipment and remuneration to incentivise health workers.
Papers News reports that he made the submission on Tuesday in Zamfara State when he commissioned the renovated and rehabilitated Yariman Bakura Specialist Hospital in the state.
