800k for a professor, you guys must be very selfish, and wicked. How much is director at level 16 in a ministry with over 35 years of work salary. Is your job more professional than them. Even permanent secretary salary is not up to 500k. Wicked souls. A teacher at primary school with over 35 years will retire with 70k max, but Una go take almost 800% of the salary. Now I see the reason ASUU is on strike. Federal government should sack all professors, who are into this, and replace them with PHd people who are serious.

In India average salary of a professor is 477,352.78
If not for the devaluation of our currency.

How much are specialized doctors earning.

omenka:
Anything short of 1m for profs is nonsense.

ASUU should stand her grounds.

How can ordinary school cert holder be collecting over 35million monthly while a prof would be begging for a miserly 1m? Nonsense.

Please tell everyone in your family to vote wisely. Me and my family will vote wisely.

Boyooosa:
We are not saying they shouldn't be collecting N1bn per month, afterall their politician-counterparts are earning millions of naira per month and unaccountable billions before they run out of their individual tenures...so, professors should feel free to demand for N1bn per month since they were the ones that trained the politicians how to mismanage the country's resources just the way we are seeing it presently in the country.

But my own concern is, Can the economy of Nigeria sustain such liability? Because, if the current administration is boxed to approve it now, we will not want a situation where the incoming administration will not be able to sustain the payment and thereby, giving the so called professors audacity to come back again and start wasting the time and lives of the innocent students, which some of them are even still in secondary schools for now...

That's the angle people like us are examining it, not their unavoidable rivalry and show of shame two of them have engaged themselves for the past 6months now

CzarChris:
Let me say that you are not speaking from a stand point of understanding. How many directors of level 16 are PhD holders? Of primary school teachers that are Masters degree holders? Remember that those specialized doctors are also taught by professors in that field. You spoke about Indian professors, but I thank God you corrected yourself by hinting on the devaluation of our currency, our money has absolutely zero worth as it is right now.
Do you know that you keep publishing in journals, both local and international, you do research with zero support from our government or industries in the form of grants. So you do your research from your own pocket, you pay for your publications (most times in dollars) from your own pocket. And you say 800k is too much? HABA!!! Get small conscience nah, I published 2 papers in international journals last year the cheapest cost me $100. By our current exchange rate, that's around ~71,000naira now, don't get me started on my ongoing protons exchange research, that's costing me millions of my personal money, I send samples to labs in Canada and Netherlands because we don't have the needed equipment in Nigeria here. A course mate of mine who lectures in the UK was given a €2,000,000 grant by the EU. TWO MILLION EUROS!!! Do you understand where I'm coming from now?
Well, not that it matters to me anymore now. I have been disillusioned by this country as it is right now. So goodluck to y'all.

Victoronah1:
what do you mean are they PhD holders, you think it's only people who are in university are PhD holders. And let me correct you, there are requirements for different sectors in life. As a lecturer you need to attain the professor level title to feel among, a politician does not need to have a master's talk more of PhD. Neither does a nurse need to be a professor to be in her department. A professor is not superior than any one of them in their own field. Stop comparing nonsense. How many judges are professors? Or do you need a title of professor to become a judge? Universities don't make money for federal government. You want the government to keep going into dept to sustain universities that doesn't make money for them.

800k is too much. A normal salary should 400k or 500k max.

selopay:
Anything to get the children back to school..
800k is approx 1150usd, not that much but hope FG won't start owing..

800k for a professor, that is 9.6miilion a year ,minus other allowances. you guys must be very selfish, and wicked. How much is director at level 16 in a ministry with over 35 years of work salary.

How much are judges earning. A judge in Nigeria high or appeal court is not up to 400k. Do you know what it takes to become a judge. Nonsense, na only una dey build Nigeria for. Because they call themselves proffers which is a title, then they feel they are superior

How much is universities making for federal government that they should go into debt to pay such amount of money? If universities are making money, they should be able to pay these lecturers with ease.

TheNiceGuy:
Is this also part of the fight for students

Hypocritical lots

CzarChris:
Please drink water, and read through my post again and slowly this time.

Apologies if you misunderstood my post, of course there are people who have PhDs outside the academia. I'm not saying there isn't, but read through my post again.

LoveThemChubby:

If the Nigerian economy cannot sustain such a paltry sum as salary when countries like Uganda are luring our professors with a monthly salary of $2k and accommodation then we should seize being a country and apply to become a Ghana or Niger colony

UrProguy:
You people should just call off this damn strike already and stop holding students ransome, if they increase the money, how much will you settle the students you have driven to debts already.

blamingthedevil:
The Strike is about Salary.... nothing more

okeysoninv:
can you pay up to #1million as a school fees in Nigeria. Ugandan pays more than #1m in school fees at government schools

obie3rixe:
Yes it is, because once the welfare of professors are taken cared of, the zeal to teach and impact would be there

Timika:
Be calming down, please. FG has in the past, asked ASUU for the way to raise their demand. ASUU gave a suggestion they implemented, now the make more than enough to meet the current request, and still have plenty of change. But FG has refused to use the benefits of the suggestion ASUU made then to meet ASUU demand.

Damidave1124:
800k as salary for prof is not too much for someone who has devoted most of his time to research/study to get to that level.

Victoronah1:
I clearly understood what you wrote. You are trying to compare nonsense. Why would you say "How many level 16 directors are PhD"? Is that not a stupid comparison. Did they tell you they need to be PhD holder to become director's? Na so all of Una dey feel like because you have highest academic qualifications makes you superior to others. Nonsense

Maybe you should ask why professor's are not becoming president in Nigeria, but only people with waec.

MonsieurX:
Not too much... Although they might have to cut it down a bit more, but given the current economic situation, 800k isn't too much for our profs monthly.

I wanted to have a meaningful conversation with you, but clearly you want to take this conversation to the gutters. Well, good luck with that, I'm out of the trenches and you can't bring me down to your level.

Infact all public Universities should be closed down and money to be used to pay the staffs should be channeled to something else. People like me are already out, so continue.
