One of the doctors, Vivian Okolo, said she was shocked to meet her lecturer, a qualified Pediatrician at the recruitment exercise which is taking place at a time resident doctors in Nigeria are on strike, demanding better working conditions.
”I left medical school April 2011. My teacher is here. My own teacher. The first person I sighted here was my teacher, a seasoned peadiatric consultant. You know what it means? My teacher that taught me how many years ago. I am giving up on the country and poor leaders and I come here to meet my teacher. This is the worse. I never knew it has gone this bad” Okolo said.
