“The Ministry of Health has declared them wanted. We will stop their salaries; track them until we find them. Any country they go to, we will go to the Medical and Dental Council of that country and we will stop them.
He called on the medical personnel to immediately return to their duty posts in the state civil service, or refund all resources spent on their training by the state government.
The commissioner stressed that government would not allow it’s best hands to exit service for “greener pastures” without first serving Akwa Ibom people whose resources were deployed for their training.
He commended Governor Umo Eno for declaring a state of emergency in the health sector, adding that Akwa Ibom was positioned for the best health system under the ARISE Agenda of the present administration.
