You have to pay for light and no generators allowed in the doctors quarters.
ACs are not working in most rooms so come prepared with furnishing your room in mind.
There’s a doctors quarter’s building under construction to help ameliorate the housing shortage but it’s not yet ready as at time of reporting.

• Two blocks (A & B) with over 50 rooms.
• General kitchen shared by 3-4 persons in a flat.

💰 Salary

💵 ₦244,000 monthly (same as MDCN).
