Police officers are well-paid in Nigeria and this is an aberration to the public orientation that most of the officers are poorly remunerated.

Police service commission has recruited 10,000 personnel across the country.
Check out the Nigerian police force salary structure for those that have applied and would-be officers of the security outfit after recruitment process.

With this kind of income, they still want everything free.

If a Police personnel or officer visit you, he would ask: "wetin you keep for us?"
If you visit him/her, the question will change to" "wetin you bring come?"

Well, Police is your friend... since the days of IGP Louis Edet

travel from Lokoja-Makurdi, Kaduna-Jos, Jos-Bauch, Niger-Kaduna, infact come North you will know what am taking about....

the pay is OK....but is it total package(including allowance and d rest) or just basics(basic salary)....can someone enlighten more on dis

You guys think this pay is okay right?

I think not. This is too meagre, can barely feed a family, and take care of other expenses.

For the police force I think this is a crappy pay for force men that risk their lives for our safety. This is really poor !

Why are people saying the pay is ok. Or is it only me here that has a contrary opinion, the lowest rank there, corporal, can his salary cater for 3 children nd a wife for a whole month, and some saying allowance, only if you're placed in a well meaning department.

Prior to the economic crisis in the country now, i would say the pay is meagre, forget about the 100 they are collecting on the road, they have to Feed now although some policemen are useless

It is ok. Very ok. Way better than what teachers earn. And they keep lamenting? Ingrates!!!

Abeg how I fit join police?

is this what the OP calls okay

the pay is small nah...

no wonder they don't smile when collecting their #20.

Point of correction OP, a police corporal is payed 48,250 level 4 step 5, that's the highest of that rank

A police Sergeant is payed 52, 350, level 5 step 5, also that's the highest of that rank

A police Inspector is payed 71, 400, level 6 step 5, that's the highest of that rank

The salaries of the senior police officers varies depending on date of promotion



Pls next time try and make research before posting unconfirmed news here, ask any God fearing policeman he will tell you the truth

Police no get any form of Joy especially the once under the scorching heat.

And who says its not okay, what of those government workers equally working very hard, yet received far less. until they are paid billions abi
