Nigerians have lambasted the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige over a controversial comment he made on national television.

Ngige in an interview with Channels TV this morning, said he is not disturbed by the fact that medical doctors in Nigeria are leaving the country.

According to him, medical doctors who wish to leave can do so as there are enough medical doctors in Nigeria.

Nigerians are calling him out for his comment saying it is insensitive, careless and very unreasonable. See reactions below:

How Chris Ngige- one of the most respected governors in S.East Nigeria suddenly became a source of riducle in this govt has to be the single biggest mystery of governance!

From saying minumum wage is enough for a family of 4.... now doctors can leave Nigeria (Surplus doctors)

There is a kind of infection in APC that turns every smart human to a full blown Idiot. Chris Ngige use to be a very smart Governor. Whatever happened must be really acidic.

Now I see what happened to Raji Fashola and the dude from ExxonMobil,Kachukwu.

There are about 70,000 registered Doctors in Nigeria. More than 35,000 of them are not practicing in Nigeria.They have left the country. This is from the minister of health himself.

We have an emergency situation in our hands and the utterances of Chris Ngige is an embarrassment
