Minister of Enjoyment

[JusticeCrack @Justice_Crack]

After we successfully called on the Federal Government and the Federal Ministry of Education to reconsider the increase in WAEC and NECO examination fees, another concerning issue has emerged.

The Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) has introduced a sudden increase in the registration fee for foreign-trained medical graduates.

Foreign-trained doctors in Nigeria are now facing an unexpected financial burden just weeks before their induction.

On Friday, the MDCN informed successful foreign-trained medical graduates via email that the registration fee would be ₦250,000, plus ₦15,000 for insurance, bringing the total to ₦265,000.

However, on the 13th, another email was sent asking recipients to disregard the previous one. The registration fee had been increased to ₦400,000, with ₦15,000 for insurance, making the new total ₦415,000—a ₦150,000 increase announced less than two weeks before induction.

This is the reality currently facing foreign-trained medical graduates in Nigeria.

Where does the MDCN expect these 238 newly qualified doctors to find ₦415,000 within such a short period just to obtain their practising licences?

I am calling on the Federal Ministry of Health, the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN), and the Federal Government of Nigeria to urgently reconsider this decision.

This policy will not strengthen Nigeria’s healthcare system. Nigeria is already experiencing a severe shortage of medical doctors, with fewer than 55,000 doctors serving a population of over 220 million people.

The government should consider subsidising this registration fee instead of placing an additional financial burden on young doctors who are ready to serve the nation.

Good morning APC b*stards.

Recently MDCN increased fees from foreign medical graduates from around 250k to 400k.

My cousin recently missed out on studying nursing because now the cheapest college of nursing starts around 700k and university is over 1 million. Her father is a civil servant and cannot afford it.

Since pharaoh got to office, my senior colleague where I work now pay 3x more tax with barely any increase in their net salary.

You cannot travel long distance without praying against kidnapping.

The grid doesn't offer up to 3 hours of electricity everyday, yet we are all paying band A prices these days.

My car alternator spoiled yesterday and I realized it's now 95k. I bought the last one 2 years ago 35k.

So tell me exactly, the benefit of supporting Tinubu?

Dear MDCN, Most new doctors have zero income until housemanship starts.

Some still owe school fees or academic subscriptions.

Asking the new "about-to-be" foreign-trained doctors to produce ₦400,000 for induction in days is not “maintaining standards.”

Thats almost 2 months house officer salary

Last year I paid 250k or thereabouts
one year later its almost double???? ahh MDCN!!!!

MDCN please how do you go from 265k which is outrageous at first to 415k for licensing and induction in just 3 days? Talking about “IGNORED” the first email, it’s really unfair. All because we’re Foreign trained? You think we aren’t struggling?

Please explain to me like I am 10 years old
Why is @MDCNOfficial charging newly inducted, foreign-trained medical doctors 415,000 naira for a provisional license?

How much do you pay your house officers per month

@MDCNOfficial You're unfortunate fools

A sudden increase in the MDCN induction fee from ₦265,000 to ₦415,000 places an enormous financial burden on newly qualified doctors who are yet to earn an income. We respectfully appeal for a review and a return to the initially communicated fee. @nard_nigeria @MDCNOfficial

Haven't even gotten inducted yet and I'm already tweeting @MDCNOfficial
