Gov Approves Salary Increase For Doctors
Sheriff Oborevwori has approved a pay rise for medical doctors in the state, increasing their monthly salaries by ₦200,000.
The move is aimed at improving welfare and keeping skilled health workers within the state.
The approval also includes a ₦100,000 tax-free allowance for house officers.
Officials say the package is designed to support young doctors and ease financial pressure at the early stage of their careers.
The decision comes amid concerns over the migration of health professionals and staffing gaps in hospitals.
By improving pay, the government hopes to make the state more attractive to medical practitioners.
Authorities believe the new incentives will strengthen healthcare delivery and reduce the loss of trained personnel to other regions or countries.
