Fg Paid Doctors New Salary! by skabber2: 10:47pm On Aug 22, 2014
Doctors started receiving their new salary arrears today. Hopefuly they should resume work soon.
But how sustainable is this?
A Situation where a consultant collected #700,000 as two month salary increament arrears. Is medicine in nigeria all about money? Presently, a fresh consultant takes home around #530,000.00 monthly for doing almost nothing (Residents run the hospital ). Consultants new take home now will be around #900,000.00 monthly.
When patients pay through their noses to get treated in our hospitals with dilapitated facilties everywhere, doctors are busy enriching their pockets.
Why won't all doctors want to do residency and become consultant sharp sharp! it shows why they are more concerned with passing their exams than patients care. I Learnt dis jumbo pay didn't cut across though, guess the Ogas betrayed the Regs. Reason why the younger docs want to start on level 13.
Why won't JOHESU members want to become cosultants by all means.
When are we going to get a thing right in this country?
Are doctors the only underpaid workers in nigeria?
How many state government can pay a consultant #900,000 monthly? We are yet to see the end of doctors strike.
There is serious problem!

Why dont you read medicine, even if not for the money but for the lifes u want to save even when u can easily lose yours...instead u do a 2year diploma and want to be called Consultant.

That's what happens when doctors study medicine without knowing the medical ethics.


Everything in this country is just all about money.

For me, i dont think they are overpaid because, its not an area that can be melted off, but must be taken seriously by all of us, not even now that we have many viruses around, we need not only divine intervention but also Doctoral intervention,
Pls pay doctors well, i beg

Re: Fg Paid Doctors New Salary! by uken73(m): 3:48am On Aug 24, 2014
They won. Hope they can justify this jumbo pay by attending to patients properly. But some would still provide haphazard service and divert patients to their hospital.

A nasty experience in a public hospital
Some years ago I was at a teaching hospital for a common medical fitness test & certification. I got to the hospital at some minutes past 8am. First I queued for card retrieval and watched as nurses would go in and have their relations/friends cards retrieved earlier even when those friends had just arrived. Then queued for Blood Pressure test and assignment to consultant. By the time I was assigned to a doctor it was almost 11:30am. I now queued again to see the consultant. When I finally go in to meet the consultant, she said she doesn't handle fitness examination and referred me to another consultant. I went and joined another queue. On the queue I was able to see the consultant doctor when the door is opened. The doctor (male) was spending most of the time browsing on his laptop instead of attending to patients. And his queue was progressing very slowly. Just when I was next in line, he told the nurse assisting him that he won't attend to any other person. This was nearly 1pm. Can't remember, but I think it was said that they close by 1pm. We were told to come back another day. I refused to leave. Immediately the last patient left I stepped in and persuaded the doctor to attend to me that I'd been there since morning and was made to wait on the wrong queue. He insisted that he was done for the day and asked me to leave. I went back to the other doctor I was initially assigned to, she had stopped attending to people too, but when I explained my challenge and the fact that I had limited time to submit the fitness report, she attended to me. By the time I was done with the tests it was already past 3pm. My whole day was virtually spent in the hospital for just a fitness test.

While waiting I had also observed how nurses would scold an old man who was groaning in pains. This old man was old enough to have children who are much older than most of these nurses, but they don't seem to have any sympathy for the man just because they believe the man had waited too long before seeking medical attention. They would make comments like "Is it today that this problem started? Let us hear something, abeg"

They say Residents are undergoing training, yet they are the ones doing the work. They are the ones that sleep in the hospitals to monitor patients and still resume 8am next day. Consultants barely do nothing in †ђξ hospital. Last to come into the theatre for surgery and first to leave. No night calls....... Yet they get all the attention. No wonder the strike isn't effective. Rubbish!!!

900k? wow!

..and the same FG will encourage fresh and old graduates to embrace the N20k/month sure-p non.sense. Choi, see humiliation! Do we really have a functional Civil Service Commission?

Few Nigerian based Profs (mostly Vice Chancellors in oil rich areas like DELSU) earn above that. Most Profs in state owned universities earn way below N500K. More threats await the F.G anyway.

Meanwhile, I heard some Profs in Ekiti State University earn below N300k (after tax). Such a pity! Strike neva start oo cheesy

This is from Punch_NG
Some of the Nigerian professors who reacted to the report said that it did not reflect the general wages of a professor. They however admitted that with the new consolidated salaries in federal universities the estimated earning might not be far from the truth as some of the most senior professors earn about N600,000 per month.
Just to confirm my assertions. http://www.punchng.com/education/nigerian-professors-among-best-paid-in-the-world/

Aside DELSU, no other Nigerian University pay Profs 900K/month

This goes to show the high level of disparity in salary structure in the civil service.
Our F.G is a laughable society created for implementing anything motivated by strike actions. smiley

I see ASUU embarking on another action that will catapult the N600K of a well learned Prof to about N1milla per month. Meanwhile, the average graduate hustler is just there on a green white green patroitic uniform struggling and sweating for N18K allawee.


The struggle is yet to begin... cool
