A RESOUNDING APPRECIATION TO A VISIONARY LEADER
“Championing Healthcare Excellence, Empowering Medical Professionals”
The National Association of Government General Medical and Dental Practitioners (NAGGMDP), Delta State Branch, proudly extends its profound gratitude and heartfelt appreciation to His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Francis Oborevwori, Governor of Delta State, for his bold, timely, and visionary approval of the MORE Special Allowance for Doctors.
This landmark intervention represents a defining moment in the evolution of healthcare delivery in Delta State. It is not only a welfare package but a strategic, forward-thinking solution to the pressing challenge of workforce migration and retention within the health sector.
Your Excellency, your administration has once again demonstrated that healthcare is not just a policy priority, but a moral obligation. By significantly improving the remuneration of doctors, you have:
Strengthened the morale and dedication of healthcare professionals
Positioned Delta State as a leading destination for medical practice in Nigeria
Taken decisive steps to combat the “Japa” syndrome affecting the health workforce
Reinforced confidence in government’s commitment to quality and accessible healthcare delivery
This unprecedented gesture will undoubtedly translate into improved patient care, enhanced service delivery, and a more resilient health system for all Deltans.
We also extend our sincere appreciation to the Honourable Commissioner for Health, Dr. Joseph Onojaeme, for his steadfast leadership, advocacy, and unwavering commitment to advancing the welfare of healthcare workers and strengthening the health sector in Delta State.
This milestone achievement signals a new era of transformation, where healthcare professionals are valued, motivated, and empowered to deliver their best.
Your Excellency, this singular act will echo across generations as a defining legacy of compassionate leadership and progressive governance.
