Thanks Rufai for your advocacy Following the concerns raised on Thursday morning about the welfare of interns at OAUTHC, the hospital management has now begun paying part of the outstanding stipends owed to interns. Payments were reportedly made today to some interns, with arrears being cleared according to their respective batches. While this is a step in the right direction, many interns are still awaiting full payment of what is owed to them. Interns continue to hope that the management of OAUTHC will ensure complete settlement of all outstanding arrears as soon as possible, so that the welfare and motivation of young healthcare professionals are adequately protected.

@Healthintern22 @oauthcofficial @Mademoiselwtw @ruffydfire Lies everywhere

"Management assures all interns that :" Then proceed to lie 😏 "Updates will be communicated regularly" "Interns welfare remains a priority for Oauthc". Then ghost the so called interns you claim to care for. @oauthcofficial Are you trying to gaslight the public too? 🤦🏻‍♀😩

@ruffydfire Interns were paid 203k in December after dragging online, yet the payslip showed ₦220,863.06. When does accounting starting working this way?? @ARISEtv @channelstv @FinMinNigeria @Fmohnigeria @Fmohnigeria @MobilePunch @officialABAT @NigEducation @SaharaReporters @muhammadpate

@afriktimesmedia Pay us our money 😩😩

@Mademoiselwtw @oauthcofficial @JAOOKENIYI @ruffydfire @ARISEtv @SaharaReporters This is our right, our money should be released

@ruffydfire I keep telling people I am going to work almost every single day (including weekends) for 11 months with nothing to show for it, even church rat is richer than me at this point 🥹 This is so unfair!!🥹

"If we hadn't taken the issue to SM,they would have paid us" 😳😧 I'm short of words.......... This is beyond us.We want all healthcare professionals in Nigeria to help us. What should we call this? Bullying or Gaslighting? @oauthcofficial @JAOOKENIYI

@ruffydfire It’s really unfair that we have to go through all these. After finishing university with high hopes that we can finally work and get paid, better our lives and help the people around us in the little way we can, only to not be paid for the work we do and end up borrowing 😭😭

We respectfully seek your intervention and public advocacy concerning the prolonged non-payment of interns working at the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex (OAUTHC). For the past eleven months, interns have rendered uninterrupted clinical services at OAUTHC. However, only six months’ salary has been paid, and even that was not in full. To date, our December salary remains unpaid, alongside several months of outstanding arrears. Despite this situation, interns are still being mandated to report for duty. Although an industrial action is currently ongoing, interns have been specifically instructed to continue working without pay. Repeated pleas, formal complaints, and peaceful protests have yielded no meaningful resolution. The consistent explanation given by hospital management is that payment has not been released from Abuja. This explanation, however, is misleading. Unlike other staff whose salaries are federally funded, interns’ remuneration is paid directly by the hospital management, not from Abuja. Notably, other hospital staff have continued to receive their salaries, while interns remain unpaid. This situation has placed immense financial, emotional, and psychological strain on young healthcare professionals who are expected to work under demanding conditions without compensation. It raises serious concerns about labour rights, workplace ethics, and the welfare of medical interns in Nigeria. We humbly appeal to Arise  TV investigate this matter and lend its voice to our plight, so that the appropriate authorities can be held accountable and justice can be served. Thank you for your commitment to truth, accountability, and the protection of vulnerable workers. Mayowa

@SaharaReporters Pay your interns!!!! This is embarrassing. You are eating your young, no one wants to intern at the hospital anymore!!!!!!!!! Pay people for their hard work, stop bullying and threatening them for asking for their dues.

@ruffydfire We were paid our December salary on January 28, but the payment was incomplete despite the payslip showing a full salary. January and February salaries remain unpaid as of March. In addition, two and a half months from last year and other months arrears are still owed,

Day 4 of asking @oauthcofficial & @JAOOKENIYI to pay 2025/2026 intern It is very sad that the hospital management has decided to ignore all our cries and pleas… No structure in place on how the money will be paid, no communication with the interns on what’s delaying the money.

OAUTHC management @oauthcofficial and the CMD @JAOOKENIYI , Please don’t act as though you haven’t been seeing our posts. You see them. Everyone does. Yet there has been no clear response about our unpaid salaries and arrears. We don’t want this to become bigger than it...

Day 3 of asking @oauthcofficial to pay 2025/2026 interns… Since the year began, interns have not received a penny for their duties. The last partial salary they received was for December. This is not fair, interns need money to survive. @JAOOKENIYI
