Don't mind them. Nigerian lecturers are one of the most corrupt set of people. They will win research grants but never implement it into any research. They'll rather use it to build houses, buy new cars and carry women. Then now throw all the burden of their research to their final year project students. Ever wondered why most times na your supervisor dey give you project topic lol? It's for his own benefit.

Asides that, many of them also lecture many higher institution , collecting salaries on multi scale. That's why they are against the IPPIS.

KingAzubuike:
How much do they want to earn before? The salary is more than enough if you ask me.

Alero3Arubi:

My suster i wonder ooo.
Did they not collect employment letter thst stated their salaries?
The greed of individuals is just too much.
What happens to living within your means?

Potch:


Thank you. I am appalled by comments coming from many people here. Many are speaking from the position of ignorance and probably many have become victims of sadistic behaviours from some Professors, and it will be wrong to think all university lecturers are bad. These are the facts:
1. Some lecturers do visit two or more universities plus their place of primary university. However, they are few and ASUU do not approve these appointments, the university management does. ASUU is just an association of academic staff and its membership is voluntary. It is the duty of the university management to sanction anyone who has committed an infraction and not ASUU. Therefore, no one can blame ASUU.

2. Before the Introduction of IPPIS, a university Professor at bar (Conuas 7 step 10 ) earned 6 M per annum, which translated to 500k before deductions. The total deductions then (tax, union dues, and pension) was around 30k and take home pay was around 470k. A Professor who was on step 1 was earning around 385k.

3. With the introduction of IPPIS, a Professor at bar now earns around 6.7 M. With total deductions of 138k, the total take home pay is now 416k, while a new Professor earns 330k. How long does it take to become a Professor in Nigeria university? About 15 to 20 years? A Professor at bar? You need to spend 10 years as a full Professor. Kindly judge for yourself.

4. Why did ASUU embark on strike? How are/were the states of our laboratories, libraries, classrooms, theatres, hostels? Anyone who has been to Convenant University, Afe Babalola University and some notable private universities should do the comparison with respect to research investment, infrastructural development. Should we blame ASUU for the decay?

5. Let us do the Nigeria analysis. Some of you who work or know someone who work in the following places: CBN, FIRS, Nimassa (sp), NHIS, IPPIS etc; can we compare their salaries with university lecturers? If you say no, why? Should we blame ASUU for demanding for improvement in staff welfare?

6. Lastly, let everybody go and read Babalakin's reports on revitalization of University education. His proposed 350-500k school fees for Nigerian students. How many parents will send their children to public primary and secondary schools today? What befell the primary and secondary education is coming to university education if...

You maybe right according to your own personal conviction but there is never a right time to do wrong. I know i really have my flaws too but am daily striving to see how to live right especially that those coming behind me will catch me in the act of excellence . Even if there is no heaven that when we die ,we will happy to that we once passed through this earth but as a Christian i believe there is heaven where no unrighteousness will have access in.

EricBloodAxe:

Why don't they initiate the IPPIS for the Presidency down to the Senators, Reps, Governors etc. Is it the poor lecturers who are underpaid in the first place that'll cushion the effects of a bad economy?

proffemi:

You are refusing to see the point I am making. If the FG pays peanuts, it will rarely attract the right kind of people to do the job. Those who do will be under more pressure to cut corners.



This is a totally wrong way to go about funding the most critical sector to national development (yes, I can back that up). You don't respond to malfeasance by withholding funding and crippling the system unless there are other factors at play. You simply enforce the right mechanisms for accountability. Whose fault is it that those mechanisms are not being triggered? I'll make it easy for you: FG.

heykims:
You should also tell us the pay before IPPIS. IPPIS didn't cut down salaries but ensures tax, pension and other deductions are optimally removed.
People in academics have been evading tax for years and IPPIS enrolment will break that.
Mind u, civil servants are generally poorly paid not just professors.
Op is also a liar, there are other allowances attached.

xperiencelove:
You better stop saying rubbish and desist from propagating lies. I know what every academic lecturer earns which depends in their level and step and their other allowances varies depending on the institution.
You didn't address the situation where most professors start coming to class few weeks to the exam; where academic staff teaches in 3 to 5 different institutions including private; where research grants were used to build houses and buy cars; where they molested our ladies (our future wives); where they demand for bribes; where they embezzle their IGR; where they plagiarized; where they uses our own projects as their research; where most of them add nothing to the society etc.

xperiencelove:
You know nothing and I will leave you with nothing. I am part of the nightmare to those academic staff, I don't know if you are among them.

Exc2000:


even with allowance, you can gross 100% of your income as allowance maximum few percentage around or about 30% to 40% of your income, can a lecturer whose wife is jobless cope even withis figure, except he resides in gombe or zamfara where everything is super cheap

Mires:


Why changing the narrative? So there are no academics in Nigeria who takes their work seriously? In terms of the research grant, it is not all you read in the media space that's true

viktuur:
Plus free accommodation o, no water bill, no internet bills, some school no electricity bills o

DenreleDave:
Thank God this post made it to the front page.


See those two guys up there Exc2000 and SeanWilliam obviously two yahoo guys, they have turned education to justifying yahoo fraud here. They can't work to earn but prefer duping people who worked all tru their life...

People work 9 to 5 and at the end of the day, those useless boys sitting at home like those two guys will dupe them of their hard earned money.



See them. After all, rich man n poor man, na die we go die... Sane ground we go enter, same termites go chop our body then we prepare for judgement..

Let's our kid reap the seed we sow.... Whether good or bad.



God, I need one thing from you.. Just gimme an Idea that will give me breakthrough so that I wunt be hopeless and keep bombarding front page post with yahoo fraud comments like those two yahoo guys

akanbiaa:
How much was the pay before IPPIS?

proffemi:


Those do-nothing professors you mention are not the cause. They are the CONSEQUENCE of FG not properly funding public tertiary education. Can you imagine a typical best-in-class student taking up a lecturing job to collect the peanuts on Page 1? Oho? When most don't, the positions are taken by increasingly lower quality scholars, leading to the problems you pointed out.

Many of you commenting on this topic do not understand the heinous class warfare that the FG's actions will unleash. Nor do you understand the level of personal sacrifice required for someone worth his salt to stay in the Nigerian university system.

Samcent:

You remind me of an experience I had during my university days.
Three of my classmates and I went to a certain Prof, to 'beg' him to come and take his course, as exam was about 2 weeks away and he was yet to attend class even once. The reply he gave to us left me in shock till date and destroyed my confidence in our educational system.
If you must school in this country, be street-smart and try to acquire skills that can put food on your table.

1234IKECHhukwu:
M'telling u, they re not even ashamed of themselves, look at the gibberish they re yearning out there, just don't mind them they 'll soon meet their waterloo, & then they 'll realize that crime doesn't pay.

AdaoraJoy:
Honestly, this isn't fair.

emmasege:

Trust me, the figure before IPPIS wasn't better. The only news deduction after introducing IPPIS is NHF which is just about 10k. Add that to the current net income under IPPIS, that's about #350k.

Now, I put the question to you, is #350k a befitting salary for a professor in Nigeria?

Ghana, Uganda, Kenya, Botswana among other African nations pay their professors much higher.

Exc2000:


I respect your believe, but respect my reality too .. as a boy the day you ask your self what you want out of life, is the day you become a man and define your own path... for some happiness comes from good live and luxury, to others it comes from living a just life, and to others its about fulfilling every dreams they have, either ways God gave us all free will to decide our own path

even as a muslim I hold this biblical parabes in high esteem
Matthew 25:14–30

the story of 3 servants holds common sense of life

You know the servant with five coins or talents is the best but I believe in dignity of labor, am not where i intend to be at the moment but i am a struggler on the society mobility ladder. Bro let's keep the hope alive i choose to be upright to get to my destination. Have a nice day

.

Jaqenhghar:

I get your point totally. If the government paid well maybe it will attract the right kind of people. I agree that may be a solution.

As for the second point...... well sometimes its a case of who came first chicken or the egg depends on how you look at it. You believe the FG needs to establish systens I think lecturers need to do more.

acorntree:

Are you joking?

jackie3:

Misinformation:this is basic salary without allowances.
Please stop misinforming the public

hoMegas:
While not absolving university lecturers of corruption, one cannot but suspect the Buhari Administration of trying to dumb down and destroy the Educational system.

This is to ensure an almajirisation of the educated parts of Nigeria.

I implore Nigerians to put aside all sentiments and elect a good ,youthful leader in 2023,because if we don't get it right then, Nigeria will require an event of seismic proportion to get back on track.

Exc2000:




and you wonder why people do yahoo? Doctors earn within this range, only consultant earn 700k upward, even if you are not making people cry through bogus scam and just beg white men in US and Australia with beautiful female profile on rich dating sites throwing them some photoshoped nudes, you would definitely gross more than $500 a month

I now get why a lecturer would want to stay out of IPPS, because before a lecturer can break even, and take care of his needs, he would have to lecture in different colleges (which is violation of Civil Service rule) , sell mark to unserious student (gross misconduct) and over work himself

and to the Dunce slowpoke Denrestupid crying bellow my comment, leave your life according to your own personal conviction, nobody have to live life like you...

King Solomon raided many innocent villlages and looted them dry, stole peoples wives, Moses went to war and aso enjoyed spoils of war, same as Moses and Propet Muhammad SAW, Mathew Jesus's friend and disciple was a very corrupt tax official

United Kingdom raided Africa looted treasure and coonized us same as most European country, American did the same.. come to Nigeria, from Dangote to Adenuga they all have allegation of corporate fraud, enter politics Buhari, Atiku,Obasanjo, Jonathan, Yaradua snr and Jnr Abiola, Tinubu all have allegation bothering on fraud .. RCCG and Winners chapel, had one time or the other being alleged to launder money especially to UK through their registered NGO accounts, Ibrahim Magu a police Deputy Commisioner whose monthly take home is less than 800k, leaves in Asokoro with rent of N45 million a year, travels first class emirate of 2million naira to Saudi for Hajj, almost all banks commit one corporate fraud or the other

Start your preaching from the top abeg, because na poverty and fear wey never give you opportunity make you sef think say you holy, put a dunce like you near small change now, your own go worst

Matthew 25:14–30 the parable of the 3 legendary Servants best explains Nigerias situation and how to view oppurtunity

Exc2000:


my point be say compared to doctors and lecturers, street guys still have something to be thankful for... which lecturer fit try spend hin salary anyhow, remember say themselves get bills wey them they pay, them self they flex olosho and girls, they self one use iPhone and leave good... with that salary I see up there, baba street boys gross more money in the comfort of his home than 9-5 lecturers although raba no dey constant, but if your luck pick you better pass lecturer
