Its quite very difficult to decide the top five. Apart from salaries and other perks of office, there are so many runs and package these agencies package for themselves. Of course, some are formal and some are runs- as we term it in Naija. But i guess the list below stand a good chance of fighting for top five positions

NCC
SEC
BOI Bank of Industry
PPPRA
DPR
NOSDRA
NIGCOMSAT
PETROLEUM EQ FUND
Now, before some one crucify me, i know they asked for five, i only just added more to the list

Jamisco:
what is the yardstick for their rating? is it base on how much goes into your pocket or how u can join them to impact positively on the economy?

wld sum1 pls talk to me

andre99: From what I do know very well, the top 5 gotta be;

PTDF (Petroleum Technology Development Fund) - I still don't know what they do here but the pay is mad, if u work there and u decide to further ur education you take a leave, they will pay for your masters programme.

NOSDRA (National Oil spill Detection and response Agency) - This is another good place, most people that work here I doubt it if they have ever been on a field before, na to just come office talk talk talk

AGIS (Abuja Geographical Information System) - Na them they in charge of all Lands wey dey FCT, if u be coper sef and u dey work here, u fit buy car after 6months, no way u go dey here wey u no go get land to urself, the runs and pay here is crazy.

The MINT (Nigeria Security Printing and Minting) - For here, when u start working here, u go fresh pass MINT money, the workers here no too much and I don't know why GOVT have left it like that, only few people work here.

NCC (Nigeria Communication Commission)
- they are the ones wey MTN,Glo and so on they always bribe wey everything still cost, na so so seminar, if na international seminar, there is what they call estacode, u are paid in dollars for the trip, and their salary sef crazy.

Let me stop here they still plenty for abuja, but anything wey fit make you dey work for these places above, you are a made man for life, Job security is 100% and tell me what they do 'NOTHING' God dey o.

I swear. U have said it all! I know all these places you have mentioned and you have spoken only the truth.

In my opinion and based on my experience, I would say it is very difficult to choose a particular group of agencies.
Some agencies like CBN, NNPC, FIRS, NIGCOMSAT, NCC pays entry graduates well above 240k, there are also other allowances and bonuses from seminars, trainings and so on.
However, some agencies do pay average btw 120k-180k like Customs, Immigrations, NSCDC, SEC, NARSDA, but you can be opportuned to make twenty times ur salary monthly if posted to a 'juicy place' e.g ports and borders for customs, airports, passport offices, borders for immigrations, oil installations for civil defence etc.
Another set of agencies like NACA, NOSDRA, NABDA, NASENI, SON, etc pay btw 70-120k monthly. They make extra money from field assesments, trainings and seminars. These sets of agencies gives u all the time in the world. Sometimes some staffs do not show up @ work for 2 consecutive days and there will no problem coz there's virtually no work to do.
However, as long as its govt work, you could get lucky anywhere, I know a friend who works in a federal ministry, his monthly take home is less than 58k but he makes over 800k monthly, thanks to the fact that he is in accounts department and they know how to perfect their runz, some people dey NNPC wey no dey see pass their monthly salary and allowances. So it all depends on ur dept, and opportunities open to u. Gbam!

@vicope u really know the koko for all this agencies as well, pls which federal ministry does your friend works that makes such a huge amount monthly, I will just like to know so we try hard to push our way there, no one wants to suffer. Your friend is a happy fellow for life.
