Thank you @ruffydfire and @SaharaReporters for your advocacy

For clarity: most of the previously owed arrears have now been paid.
However, January and February 2026 salaries remain unpaid. @oauthcofficial Interns are simply asking for completion of these outstanding payments.

"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? 🤦🏻‍♀😩

[Healthinternvoice @Healthintern22]

OAUTHC is committed to transparency and will continue to provide updates...yenyenyen.

CONTINUE to provide updates??
Have they ever updated us?
They've never for once communicated. All our request for meetings and letters were turned down. @oauthcofficial enough with the lies

As it is now,interns are being threatened and forced to shut up.
@oauthcofficial is oppressing it's interns for speaking up.
We're tired of begging the management for what we laboured for. @JAOOKENIYI ,This is LABOUR INJUSTICE

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.

They're obviously doing it on purpose.
Some of the interns went to the salary unit on Monday and they were told there's money but because they went online 'Protest' they need to be punished.
@oauthcofficial
@JAOOKENIYI is this even professional?

[Healthinternvoice @Healthintern22]

@oauthcofficial interns 25/26 sets need all the help they can get. This is LABOUR INJUSTICE

They keep referencing to other federal hospitals in Nigeria,putting the blames on FG. We asked our colleagues in other hospitals and they've been paid. The real question is,why is it only @oauthcofficial FG is owing?
We need answers!! @JAOOKENIYI

I wish this was exaggeration.
It is not.

We wrote letters.
We requested meetings.
We cried online
We were threatened
We stopped protesting out of respect.
Since then? Silence.
Accountability should not require media attention. @oauthcofficial
What exactly is our offence?

[ilo. @ilo7ish]

January ended. No pay.
February ended. No pay.

Interns continued reporting daily, ward rounds, clinics, calls, despite knowing their accounts were empty.

This is not fair. Interns are humans not robots.

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 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.

[ilo. @ilo7ish]

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

[Omo Ibadan 💀 @Ibadan_boy01]

@oauthcofficial and Mr. CMD @JAOOKENIYI
Wetin dey sup again?

January salary, we no see. And we're in March already.

Until we start dragging you online again?

Pay your interns now!
2025/26 interns deserve better!
