EXCLUSIVE: SCANDAL ROCKS MEDICAL AND DENTAL COUNCIL OF NIGERIA (MDCN) AS RESIDENCY EXAMS LEAKED BY LUTH

…CMAC and HOD fingered

Fejiro Oliver


The Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) is currently enmeshed in a secret scandal over the leakage of their professional exams. According to a very reliable source, the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) is boiling with many heads set to roll. 
We gathered that a junior officer whose name we could not get as at press time and works in the office of the Chief Medical Advisory Committee (CMAC) is one of the arrow head of the leakage.
The exam papers are kept in the office of the CMAC, from where he takes it from. The young man has acquired wealth over the years through this dubious means that he drives exotic cars.
According to our reliable source, the man takes the exam papers, copies them and sends the written questions through text messages to physicians undergoing residency. The physicians who troop in their hundreds buys each of the exam papers at the whooping sum of N50,000.
Another Medical Doctor, Mrs. Osiememe of medical services is also in this scandalous and dubious business. We gathered that she also sells the question papers kept under her for N50,000. She is the head of department of Family Medicine, while her accomplice which she uses in sending the text messages is one Mr Ajayi in the X-ray department.
The scandal has led to many of the administration staffs being scattered posted out by the management to avoid them from getting more information that can rope in many of the physicians involved.

Meanwhile the hospital resident doctors are on strike over what they call ‘death of residency’. According to our sources, they go about with black bands in their wrists. Other problems currently experienced in the hospital is lack of light for over one week, even in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Theatres and Labour Ward, while there is constant light in the ward meant for Very Important Persons (VIP) and admin offices of top management staff.

We gathered that the power failure is due to their inability to pay the millions of Naira owed the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), while there is lack of money to buy diesel for the generating sets.

Some of the aggrieved staff who spoke to Elombah.com stated that instead of receiving arrears of promotion, they got the shock of their lives when the hospital began to reduce from their salaries, while the pay slip for March has not been given to staff.

  2. Very dumb article. MDCN does not set exams for residents. Oliver get a proper job.

    • Seriously, this guy knows nothing about residency. He's one of those employed by JOR-ESU,my own adaptation of JOHESU.. We are in Nigeria ehere issues like this could come up. However, we should be quick in identifying malicious documents like this… However, a commission of inquiry should be set up… And appropriate actions taken… Also, this guy should be arrested for slander of possible… And if found guilty.

  3. Please research before writing,what concerns MDCN and residency exam setting.

  4. Fejiro, you better get a life. You are fighting a lost battle. You are indeed an example of everything that is wrong with journalism in Nigeria.

  5. I was frightened when i first saw the heading. However, when i read through i just realised that a man who had a horrible night dream,decided to put it into writing forget to tell his readers probably as foot note that it was a dream. May God forgive all those who pray for the downfall of their supposed friend.

  6. Dumb article indeed! Was baffled about the title of the comment until I saw the name of the writer who is known for severely jaundiced articles about the medical profession. MDCN does not set exams for any category of doctors. It's obvious it's just another spiteful write from Fejiro.

  7. Fejiro must have failed out of medical school. There is no other explanation for this bad bele. He always has littke information, and even the litte is wrong information. Please, stop this attack on the medical profession. Didnt you once say you're married to a doctor? Is this what you tell her everytime? Smh.

  8. Seedfaith abi wetin you call yourself, Fejiro has never said he married a physician, but that he married one of the medical professions. He had even said before publicly that he married a nurse, so leave his family out and discussed the report. Did the exams leak. The names he reported, did they rili did what he said?

  9. FEJIRO SHOULD GET HIS FACTS RIGHT BEFORE GOING TO PRESS. HE GOT SO MANY THINGS WRONG.
    1. MDCN HAS NO BUSINESS WITH RESIDENT POSTGRADUATE EXAM.
    2. MDCN ONLY CONDUCTS EXAMS FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS WHO WANT TO PRACTICE IN NIGERIA.
    3.WEST AFRICAN COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS/SURGEONS AND NATIONAL POSTGRADUATE MEDICAL COLLEGE ARE IN CHARGE OF EXAMS FOR RESIDENTS ALL OVER NIGERIA AND WEST AFRICA.
    4. NO TEACHING HOSPITAL IS INVOLVED DIRECTLY IN CONDUCTING POSTGRADUATE EXAM.
    IN SUMMARY, FEJIRO'S REPORT IS UNTRUE AND MALICIOUS AND I AM WONDERING WHAT THE MOTIVES ARE

  10. Fejiro is a totally unpprofessional.He pparently doesn't do any research before going to press.However,in recent times resident doctors have complained about the skewedness of some results as it appears u need to have 'powerbrokers' in the colleges to get ahead.Hence the need to investigate some part of Fejiro's claims

  11. Wow!!! I am waiting to hear Mr Olivers response to all the above.

  12. It is becoming evidently clear every day that NMA members are so ignorant and leave below the lowest level of intelligence. Why do you delight in denying issues without your own facts? I have not said the guy Oliver is entirely right but I have followed his write-ups for sometimes,he is an investigative journalist, with his facts and figures undisputable. But NMA members have shown hatred to this man of honour because his reports have not gone well witn the Nigeria Physicians and Surgeons.
    My pieces of advice for the NMA members:
    1. LUTH is not far, can you kindly conduct your personal investigations into the matter?
    2. Seek redress at the law court if you are sure the guy has blackmailed your profession and institution.
    3. Stop defending issues just on sentiments. Remember, this is Nigeria. Nigeria factors exist every where, your PMCN inclusive.
