Currently putting together a Business case for an exciting IT development Project which is initially an educational sector focused, and as part of the documentation need to estimate the staff cost over a period of time, hence your assistance with regards to the following areas will be immensely appreciated.

1. Average* monthly (Permanent / Contractor) rates for the roles identified in the team profile section of this post.

2. Concentration point for the skills, e.g. will I get Java developers more in Lagos compare to Abuja. Also, how much does the rate differ by location.

3. The tax rates (& other national contribution) that needs to be factored in as part of the staff cost both from the employer and employee perspective.
