Saudi Arabia shops for Nigerian doctors, holds recruitment exercise in Lagos (Video)
Many medical doctors in Nigeria have applied for job positions with the Saudi Arabia ministry of health.
The recruitment exercise was organised by the ministry in conjunction with Successlink Consult in Ikeja, Lagos state capital, on Sunday.
The job offer was for consultants and specialists in all medical fields, excluding psychiatrists.
Among those present for the interview were medical consultants and doctors in various areas of specialisation.
It was gathered that each applicant paid N10,000 as the application fee after which medical certificates, means of identification, and other documents were tendered at the point of documentation.
After payment, the medical doctors were screened before a panel of Saudi Arabian personnel.
Speaking with newsmen, one of the applicants who specialises in hematology — a branch of medicine concerned with the study of blood, the blood-forming organs, and blood diseases — described the screening as the “shortest interview of my life”.
This is not the first time Saudi Arabia will woo Nigerian medical doctors with job offers.
