Before You Crucify Nigeria University Lecturers by Xj2020: 4:04pm On Aug 12, 2020
Salary for Lecturers After IPPIS DEDUCTIONS: Take home
PhD LII is #130,000
PhD LI is #163,000 plus min. 3 years post PhD
Senior Lecturer #235,000 plus min. 6 years post PhD
Professor is #345,000 plus min. 10 years post PhD
Senior Professor is #423,000....
Minimum of 3 years gap with fucking hard work , even many spend as high as 5 years before u can move up d ladder of promotions.

REMEMBER
From these peanuts of a pay;
They teach a crowd for a class
They supervise multitudes
They attend conferences from their pockets
They attend seminars from this peanuts
They write and publish articles in reputable journals (enquire the cost of publishing).....etc
They undergo rigorous stress to carry out research.
They spend minimum of 4 years in BSc
They spend minimum of 2 years in MSc
They spend minimum of 3 years in PhD (in Nigeria is near impossible they even spend up to 5 years and above).

Consider their rigours, the pain, the emotional trauma, physical drain, brain drain, intellectual drain they go through just to be qualified for their job specification...

I think our Lecturers work like elephants and earn like ants, they deserve a better pay or remuneration.

In terms of welfare:
You know that 50% of your lecturers don't have good offices, the ones that have no furniture.
Most Lecturers lack good working environment.
Most lecturers handle/teach a crowd of students yet they still try to deliver lectures in such environment (instead of the normal 30-50 students class size).
Most Lecturers supervise projects at their expense.
You want his best yet you deny him the best.

When you compare this salary with those of other Federal Govt agencies it's very very ridiculous.
If you compare it with Universities abroad then Nigeria salary scale for lecturers is infinitesimally small.
I have friends that earn more than a senior lecturer and doesn't have PhD, so it's impoverish to be a lecturer in Nigeria Universities.... the thieves in government with just secondary school � certificates earns way higher than a professor so what we saying....

Before you criticize them;
First put yourself in his shoes
Could you have studied to PhD just to earn #130,000?
Could you have invested the better part of your life up to Prof just to earn #345,000?
Think! They may not have been the best they should yet they are among the best in the world especially if they are giving the right environment to practice.

Is it too much to demand for the revitalization of the universities infrastructure?
Is it too much to ask for their earned academic allowances?
Is it too much to ask for offices for staff?
Is it too much to ask that more lecture venues be constructed for students?
Is it too much to ask for good laboratories for practicals?
Is it too much to ask for their rightful wages?
Is it too much to ask for the upgrade of our universities?
Is it too much to ask for our university system to be sustained and handed to our unborn children better than it is today?
Before you criticize Lecturers think.
Except you are happy with the state of the university system.
If things continue like they are today just be rest assured that one day there may be no schools no universities for our yet to be born children.
If this continues one day there maybe no universities for the common man's children one day education maybe only for the elite class.


NO COUNTRY CAN GROW BEYOND IT VALUE FOR EDUCATION.

God bless our Lecturers.

Hope 'they' will also be considerate with their students cos lecturers want public sympathy but they fail to extend the same sympathy and care to their students...

The reason Nigerians don't pity lecturers is because a lot of them are just unnecessarily harsh and callous to students, both male and female. Now the government IPPIS issue that will affect their income is their focus, which is understandable, but people don't care much, just like they don't like the Police too.

I know there are still good ones out there though, so may God bless them.
