 Nigerians to benefit as US resumes visa processing for foreign doctors Nigerian doctors are set to benefit from a policy reversal by the United States (US), which allows physicians to resume visa applications and processing. Earlier this year, the US imposed a blanket visa ban on multiple countries, including Nigeria, citing national security concerns. The policy affected foreign doctors, including many Nigerians, who formed a significant number as the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) withheld visa renewals. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), 25.6 percent of active physicians are international medical graduates. A 2024 global health workforce database showed Nigerians as the sixth largest group of foreign doctors in the US on the J-1 visa. H-1B visa holders were not added to the list.

 OTCI RESOLVES MANDATE ISSUES BETWEEN GOVERNMENT AGENCIES 


The Office of Transformation, Creativity, and Innovation (OTCI) has successfully resolved contentious overlapping functions between the Ministry of Waterfront Infrastructure Development (MWID) and the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) on mandate delineation.


Speaking at a Stakeholders' Engagement held recently in Alausa, 


Mrs. Toyin Anjous-Ademuyiwa, Director-General of OTCI, said the meeting was convened to resolve the lingering mandate overlap between the two Ministries, especially concerning their individual responsibilities relating to Dredging and Mining across the State.


According to her, there was a need to establish a clear delineation of responsibilities on dredging, mining, and mineral resources. Delineation, she said, will not only enhance efficient governance but also prevent future conflicts between the two Ministries.


Anjous-Ademuyiwa emphasised the Office's role in ensuring seamless governance and removing obstacles to progress, stressing that through collaborative dialogue to foster clarity, a resolution became necessary to empower both Ministries for effective delivery of their mandates.  


Key resolutions were reached during the engagement, which witnessed presentations and in-depth discussions for a more streamlined governance structure. 


Some of the immediate resolutions reached included the establishment of boundary limitations and the coordination of dredging efforts. The process will be supervised by the OTCI to ensure compliance by both Ministries and facilitate a smooth transition.  


Anjous-Ademuyiwa expressed confidence that the resolutions will enhance the collaboration and operational efficiency of MWID and MEMR, reiterating OTCI’s commitment to ensuring effective monitoring and support. 


"The success of the meeting represents a significant step towards strengthening governance and promoting sustainable development in Lagos State," she said.
