The Federal Government says it is not in support of the National Assembly bill proposing to deny Nigeria-trained medical or dental practitioners from being granted full licences until they have worked for a minimum of five years in the country.

Briefing State House Correspondents in Abuja after the Federal Executive Council meeting chaired by Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, the Minister of Labour Dr Chris Ngige said the bill in the National Assembly cannot stop anyone from getting a full license.

The Labour Minister who maintained that there are other ways to check brain drain in the country, described the bill as ‘not workable’.
