Try to get more info abt the Federal Job then u compare and contrast. If u are a BSC holder ur basic salary as a federal worker is 130k, less risk of losing ur job, u got pension after retirement so the choice is urs.

Govt teaching hospital, ur salary can't be more than 100k. E too try 120k. Infact am almost sure as an engineer in d hospital u will start with 70 _ 90k . That range. Then u have to wait every 3yrs before u get. Promotion if there is vacancy ofcourse. Then u get addition 15k. Every year u add a step and get 3k. There is no housing allowance, wardrobe allowance , car and what have you. Thanks for the info! I actually nurse political ambition, so I thought the fed govt job will be a platform to begin from, as per the Pay, thanks for enlightening me. I actually earn above 200k here in the construction firm. So dis FG pay no fit make sense be that.

You will leave a slow and steady life.

Pros you can close by 4 and u can always liaise with ur colleague to go do ur outside runs.


Or u can connive with odrs and sell govt disel .hehehehehe. That was a joke.

Okay oga I don't know how much they pay u in the firm u are, but this is the exact situation. Coming from someone in the system.

So make ur choice.

Kai see people dying for a job I want to quit. And nobody has. So far answered the question. Coming from a construction company I guess U r not a medical person so U will be entering at Conhess 7. Ur take home should be btw 105k & 115k. I know u thought its 300k. For ur info a director in the civil service takes home just above 300k, that's after almost 30 years in service. Is that your vision? And get ready to survive without pay for at least d first 3 months (that's how long it takes to get u into the payroll).
Forget FG jobs, this job security rubbish makes U mentally lazy. There was a way the so called insecurity moved me to create my own security when I was in private. But all that disappeared when I became a civil servant, afterall salary will always come. Leaving private to FG is the biggest career mistake I ever made. I'm in the process of unmaking that mistake.
God bless you Bro for the info! Happy to hear your side of the story!

Just to add to his point. You are about to become redundant and unproductive to the nation.All what civil servants care about is promotion and salary increase. That is what civil service is all about here in nigeria.
There are still civil servants who make huge differences and contribute their quota to the development of the nation. So it's up to him to decide not to follow the bandwagon.

u av a serious point here o. op take note, u can always get a fed gov job irrespective of ur age, but take note, jobs in well paid construction firms r for young blood within d ages of 23 to33, above that age, getting a company job is no longer possible, so think wisely, use ur youth to gather experience n make d cash in d private sector while u develop ur instincts, after which u can resign n get d so-called government job that makes u lazy n redundant, sometimes u will wonder y u r coming to work or wat u r even doing. I will advice u to pray about it n think about it, ur career, life after 60yrs, starting ur own biz n co. f.g jobs give security for guys who don't want to be productive, company gives job security for hard working young men. u av a choice to make. never start ur career with civil service as n engineer, except its nnpc, nlng, ncc. but u can complete the later part of ur life with it. if u r still young n ur construction coy pays higher than 180k, pls remain with it till u get older then u can take a rest by joining one of the ministry of works cos u r n engineer.
