6 September 2008

Instead of our officials travelling overseas for medical treatment,as our incumbent president does,it will be better to upgrade our teaching hospitals to be able to offer the same quality of service as obtains overseas.Very many Nigerian resident doctors have travelled overseas where their services are valued,and they are well paid.I suggest that the Eboyi state govt. should listen to the doctors,and try to end their strike because it is to the detriment of the masses ,and not the officials who can opt to go overseas on public charge.
