The question is not clear because their are professors in medicine in most teaching hospital and those profs has to become consultants first before getting to professor but which ever department an international prof in Hausa language earns far more than consultant except if the prof na Nigeria prof only and not a prof in medicine

A medical conductor

A medical consultant earns far more than a proffesor in almost all countries of the world. In the united states, an entry level post resident doctor makes from $180k to $500k per annum depending on specialty while even the top proffrsors who are dean of colleges hardly make above $130k.
In nigeria,an entry level government consultant makes about 700k montly excluding outside consultations while a new proffessor make about 430k.
This difference is quite understandable since doctors are quite functional.people who also bring in money for the facilites and also impart knowledge on students while proffesors only impart knowledge and hardly bring in any money to their universties.
Nigeria doctors are one of the most poorly paod in the world that is why we are losing them by thousands to better paying countries like the us,uk,saudi arabia and now even namibia and botswana where they are in very high demand.

Lies. Go and ask the right people before misleading the public. Consultants don't earn as much

Your quoted figures are highly exaggerated. Entry level Medical Consultants at home and abroad don't earn Asiko much as the figures you quoted.

sandraokosun:
i dont know how much these two earn but a ward councillor earns more than them.

this is quite incorrect. a medical consultant earns nearly a million monthly while a professor earns nearly half a million as monthly salary. a ward councillor earns less than 300k.

dokiOloye:

All entry level consultants are paid the same salary in goverment facilities.
They are all under the same conmess salary scale whether you are a neurosurgeon or a geriatrician.
I am not talking private practice here.
I know because i am an accountant in the health ministry.

Plus a professor sorts

Linda Ikeji or Wizkid... .

I expect pple to insult me for not understanding the question, but read philosophically...

Entry level consultant who is not a lecturer, makes around 480k per month while a Consultant at his PEAK of career almost about to retire earns around 900k per month. (Note CMD may earn around 1.8Million per month).

Note this does not include money they make from private hospitals and other personal activities.

Entry level professor makes around 350k per month while Professor at his peak almost about to retire earns around 550k per month. (Note a VC can earn up to 1.5Million per month)

This does not include money lecturers makes from research and other consultancy outside the university.


below are the proof.

https://www.nairaland.com/3060727/medical-consultant-salary-vs-professor

medical consultants are mostly professors or at least associate professor. They consult for Hospitals and lecture in Universities.

A professor of economics consult for both commercial banks and CBN, am sure that will earn far more than a medical consultant

A professor of education that consults for ministry of education might earn less.


So it could be both ways.

tunshe:


A medical consultant can also be a professor. Your question isn't clear.

What do you mean by entry level for a professor?

Or do you mean a lecturer at entry level and when he eventually becomes a professor and a medical officer at entry level and when he becomes a medical consultant?

Can you reframe it so that you could get better response from Nairalanders.

OP may be based in US where every lecturer is a professor in the general sense, even though Professor as a title or rank is same with Nigeria's Professor.

tuale4u:
Entry level consultant makes around 450k per month.
Entry level professor makes around 350k per month

Lol, some people self.

A medical consultant will get money from two places, ministry of health and ministry of education

Same way a professor of monetary economics consulting for CBN will get his income from two place. Ministry of education and CBN/Ministry of Finance

One will be salary the other consultancy fee. Plus no prof esp in fed universities earn less than 400+

Sinators, linda ikeji, main market boys earn far more than the both, and since our society worship wealth. they regard even d drug pushers more. If u doubt me ask Buruji n tinubu. Every man dey hustle im own joo

The earnings are relative and dependent on different factors such as demand for the particular skill and the nature of the individual. There's no clear cut difference. I have seen professors who are bank chairmen in Nigeria. And I have seen medical professor die like chicken.
Professors in education are usually the richest due to multiple income streams. Please uites should talk joor economics department and faculty of education.

YOU forget that most consultants especally in tertary institutions work in dual capacity as lecturers and consultants?? as in they attend to patients as well as teach undergraduate medical students and residents Doctors?

Isn't that more work than an ordinary university professor already? why wont they earn more??
**Let the hate flow**

I work in a Medical field a Consultant earn more than a Professor, where I work the least the consultants earn is 800k while a medical doctor talking about the ones with experience of 4yrs and below earn from 250k and above. As at last year a Professor in one of the southern University was earning 500k with years of experience

Depends on their level

pacifique:
Consultants because of hazard, teaching and call allowance

Bros, minus the hazard allowance. That is not applicable to doctors in Nigeria.

Chinaimporter:

In nigeria,an entry level government consultant makes about 700k montly excluding outside consultations while a new proffessor make about 430k.

The emboldened is very wrong!!!

That figure is the gross salary of a lecturer in a federal university (usually lecturer 1 or senior lecturer cadre) who also doubles as a consultant at the University's Teaching Hospital or a Federal Medical Center. By virtue of this, the consultant earns salaries from two places ;

- The University where he lectures

- The Federal ministry of health. This allowance (Albeit heavy), is known as Clinical Supplementation, which could also include call-duty allowance and all..

Medical Consultants who become professors earn more than other professors.

You are very correct.

Everybody is using common sense and I'm disappointed because most people here don't know a consultant can also be a professor.
The starting salary for all federal government consultants in Nigeria is 700k monthly for a consultant is not only treating patients but also teaching both undergraduate and postgraduate students in the lecture rooms and in the hospitals also. And unlike other department lecturers teaching with MSc or PhD that start as lecturerII ,medical consultants start as senior lecturers which is the the next status after professor. I dint add private practice o. So why the fuss here!

I see some uninformed comments here. For the avoidance of doubt, the term professor in Nigeria means someone who has risen through the ranks in the academia and is at the peak of his career. This definition is important because in the United States for example, the term professor means any lecturer or member of the faculty.

An new average medical consultant earns about 500k monthly, while a new professor in Nigeria earns from about 750/800k monthly.

That's your answer there. I am a medical doctor with professor parents, so I should know.

A prof medical consultant is highly paid coupled with d fact that they have private hospitals also..in specific terms a medical consultant would take more money home than a professor in other fields.. my one kobo tho

Another lie...

The gross salary of a professor at a federal university (at the last salary step), isn't upto 550k, unless ofcourse he is a professor of medicine who also doubles as a consultant!!

You people should stop spreading falsehood biko!!

op your question is not so clear... a consultant can also become a professor, if his/her hospital has an attached medical school


the entry salary of most consultants is around 450k and they start at lecturer 2/1

there are so many factors that determine what professors and consultants earn (experience, 'outside consulting', speciality etc) hence we may not be able to compare them en bloc

Profs. don't generate money to the university?

You must be one of the arrogant doctors we have.

Who generate research grants to the universities?

Do you know how much the universities make from postgraduate students? Who lectures them?

Do you know that some Profs are also consultants to industries, WHO, UNICEF, among others.

It is not all about the basic salary and allowances.
