 Medical and Pharmacy Interns of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) are protesting the non-payment of their salaries for at least 3 months, some for longer. These house officers and interns are the initial line doctors, they're the first ever to start to see the patients, first to access work and last to leave, and for the past 3 months they've not been paid. Not fair! The relevant authorities should please address this problem before the specific situation escalates.

 This is where women have their baths. Such an eyesore. Instead of spending billions on one person's home/office, i.e Sambo, the Federal Government of Nigeria should instead look into renovating and rebuilding facilities in institutions like this. Heard there's no stable light there, difficult to get water and mosquito nets at the hospital are torn. Some medical students from the school sent me the photos after seeing the ones from the police college.
