NYSC DOCTOR’S SALARY FOR DIFFERENT STATES
Just like every other University and Polytechnic graduate, medical doctors also serve their fatherland through the the compulsory National Youth Service Corp program. This they do after their mandatory 1 year horsemanship in Teaching hospitals, Federal Medical Centres, General Hospitals and some established private hospitals.
It is a a common knowledge that NYSC doctor’s salary for different states in Nigeria is not uniform.
This is apart from the normal NYSC allowance of #33,000 Naira which finally implemented in January 31st, 2020 by the Buhari administration in accordance with the upgraded and approved minimum wage of April 2019.
Please Note: NYSC doctors are not medical students, they have graduated from school 2 years before coming to camp. They have their permanent practicing license. Same with nurses, Medical Laboratory Scientists and Pharmacists. A doctor reading this will understand why I had to clear the air on this issue. Don’t call them medical students please…
Now let us continue. Below is the updated salary structure of NYSC doctors across different states in the Federation.👇
