Ogirima said such singular action was capable of threatening the medical profession with inherent danger to the health of Nigerians, saying “Globally, there is a standard for engaging foreign trained doctors. If you are trained as a doctor outside Nigeria, your certificate is only eligible to practice in the country where you trained, but coming to Nigeria you have to take a licensing examination.

 

But it’s sad to note that the Senate of recent is trying to dictate the tone of this examination procedure. It’s not only in Nigeria doctors failed the exam. In Kenya, percentage pass is about 10 percent, Uganda and Ghana is around 15 percent, our own about 30 percent of them passed.”

 

He called on members to boycott any plan  not in the functions of the MDCN.
