Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has identified the intractable insecurity situation in Nigeria as one reason why most professionals leave the shores of the country in droves for greener pastures, IgbereTV reports
Governor Wike spoke on the cause of brain drain at the inauguration of the Renal/Dialysis Centre and House Officers Quarters at the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital in Port Harcourt on Wednesday.
The Rivers State governor maintained that welfare of doctors and other professionals are not primarily the sole reasons for brain drain in the country.
He noted that because of the looming unemployment situation in the country, most people now opt going outside of Nigeria for the dream job they required.
Even when some of professionals are employed within Nigeria, governor Wike insisted that such persons are not provided with the requisite equipment to use in their various organisations and industries
