The outgoing boss of Federal Teaching Hospital Ido Ekiti says stopping Nigerian professionals from bouncing overseas requires way more than just salary bumps since different people need different fixes to stick around. Professor Adekunle Ajayi told reporters that doctors might want better pay while patients care more about decent facilities, and security matters to anyone who got kidnapped before. He argued the whole country needs to pitch in beyond what the health ministry can handle alone because brain drain hits every sector with causes ranging from ASUU strikes messing up education to crappy roads and water shortages.

Ajayi wrapped up eight years running the hospital by listing infrastructure wins funded by federal cash, and he pushed back against claims that Nigerians fly abroad for treatment because local doctors suck. The medical director pointed out that many people seeking care overseas end up meeting Nigerian professionals trained in the exact same system back home, which proves capacity exists even if equipment lags behind in some spots. He hands over the facility on January 1, feeling confident about reforms that stabilized operations and boosted national visibility for whoever takes the job next.
