What Is The Difference Between An Assistant And A Deputy by jpcomrade: 11:20am On Feb 05, 2016
Why do some institutions rank the post of an assistant as being lower to the post of a deputy, for instance in the Nigeria police, an assistant inspector general of police is a junior to a deputy inspector general of police, in Nigerian custom service, an assistant comptroller general is a junior to a deputy comptroller general whereas in the civil service, the next rank down the ladder to a Director is a deputy Director, I don't think there is anything like an assistant Director again,maybe the two words don't really mean thesame thing or could it be that the way military and para military organisations use them is what makes the difference? because in civil hierarchy when you have for example a Governor next is a deputy Governor, there is obviously nothing like an assistant Governor, when you have a manager, the next is either a deputy manager or an assistant manager, so now how do you categorise the two levels?

really?

Assistant cant deputise when the main person isnt around.

He assists the work scope only he can't really deputies.

But the deputy have the power to perform the same functions in capacity of the main person.
