Army ready to absorb returning Nigerian doctors in military hospitals.

The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja said this when he received in his office in Abuja Mrs Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman/CEO, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) and top officials of the commission.

This is contained in a statement by Abdur-Rahman Balogun, NIDCOM’s
Head of Media, Public Relations, and Protocols Unit.

The statement quoted Lagbaja as saying that the Army would work closely with NIDCOM to bring back home the best brains in the diaspora to help develop the country.

He said he was aware that Nigeria had some of the best doctors living in the UK, U.S., Canada, and South Africa, having lived abroad before now, the statement added.

He said the Army, under his command, would like to employ them if they would return home as that would reduce brain drain. The army chief, according to the statement, expressed delight that the Nigerian forces had been excelling in all military assignments abroad and making the
country proud.

“It is, therefore, a joy for me to partner with NIDCOM to celebrate these army warriors who have been making us proud abroad in all their military operations,” he said.

Lagbaja added that the Army was prepared to collaborate with the commission even on the home front to enhance the visibility of the military and make Nigerians appreciate it for the sacrifice it is making to protect the country’s territorial integrity, according to the statement.

The statement quoted said Lagbaja spoke of the Army’s commitment to maintaining discipline and professionalism and protecting Nigerians from any form of aggression capable of affecting the country’s corporate existence.

Earlier, the statement maintained, Dabiri-Erewa had congratulated the new army chief and praised him for his professionalism and the recent positive image army has been getting since he assumed office.

She spoke of the commission’s readiness to work with the Nigerian Army to protect humanity, it said, adding that she urged the army chief not to rest on his oars in the discharge of the Army’s professional duties and responsibilities, saying Nigerians “really appreciate your sacrifices”.
