🏠 Accommodation: 
 

 LASUTH provides good but limited accommodation for house officers.
🏒 Doctors’ quarters capacity: 40-56 people (2 per room).

πŸ† Selection process: Balloting (but ¾ is secured by CONNECTION 🀷🏽‍♂️).

  • Shared kitchen (cooker + fridge)
  • Furnished – includes bed, mattress & pillow

⚑ Power Supply: Generally fair, with consistent light at night on most days.

πŸ’΅ ₦336k+ monthly
