On Wednesday, June 21, the co-founder of Microsoft addressed the issue, offering his insights on the matter.
“In a sense, people leaving is a good thing, if you up the amount of training you’re doing,” he said. “Having a big diaspora that includes people coming back into business, into government – that’s a very healthy thing.”
“I’m not someone who believes that no one should go away or that blocking that completely is a healthy thing,” the philanthropist stressed.
Drawing attention to the parallels between Nigeria and countries like India and China in terms of talent export, Gates emphasized that numerous immigrant doctors with innovative approaches have gained valuable training experiences in the United Kingdom and the United States.
“This idea that people go away and do great work but then they come back, if you get that in balance and figure out the education funding piece of that, that is a super healthy thing in computer science, in health, in a business, and other areas,” Gates said.
“You say, ‘Some of our doctors can go get a very high salary in the UK or the US.’ Some of them will pay to their family broadly and some of them will return.”
