Nigerian govt’s importation of Chinese doctors into Nigeria is leadership irresponsibility —Melaye

Sentor Dino Melaye has described as leadership irresponsibility, Nigerian government’s importation of Chinese doctors into the country amid public outcry.

Melaye, a former Kogi West senator, also said that the action was a gross disrespect of the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA).

Many Nigerians, including the NMA had opposed the Federal Government’s plan to bring in medical experts from China to assist in COVID-19 fight in the country.

Amid all the kicks against that plan, the Chinese medical experts on Wednesday landed in Nigeria.

In a tweet on his Twitter handle-@dino_melaye, the former Kogi West senator wrote:

“It is Leadership irresponsibility for the FG to disregard the call by majority Nigerians on the importation of Chinese doctors into Nigeria.

“It is gross disrespect for the NMA to be ignored with ignominy. Except the Chinese doctors are here to treat infected Aso rock patients.”
