This post has in it; how much a Nigerian professor earns per annum and the salary of a Nigerian lecturer from lecturer 2, senior lecturer to a professor yearly in a typical university in Nigeria.

It is often said that the academic system is where the best profession lies. You might be wondering how much a professor is paid for lecturing. Truth being said, university lecturers salary in Nigeria isn’t that bad. Although, you have to start as a graduate assistant before you attain such heights in education sector.

Below is a breakdown or list of how much Nigerian lecturers is paid from lecturer II to professor level per annum.

Salaries of Nigerian Lecturers
1. Lecturer II earns N1,649,509 to N1,979,640 yearly.

2. Lecturer I is paid N2,079,996 to N2,684,010 per annum.

3. Senior Lecturer earns N3,091,505 to 4,455,506 per annum.

4. Reader earns N3,768,221 to N5,004,750 Naira yearly.

5. A Professor in Nigeria earns N4,580,349 - N6,020,163 yearly.

As seen from the salaries of lecturers in Nigeria above, a Nigerian professor is paid far more than the rest. In Nigeria, only a few civil servants salary could match that.

Its no surprise that graduates are vying for lecturing jobs in Nigeria. Although, private universities pay higher than both state and federal universities.

This does not mean that the work of being a lecturer in a Nigerian university isn’t stressful. The job requires passion, effort, sacrifice and discipline. Apart from the fact that professors are paid huge amount of salary, they still go sabbatical leave which allows them do per time contract job with other universities.

Hmmmm

Nice..but all these are the legal money abi?..no mention of books for sale, handouts sale and other source of money .also some lecturers do consultancy for private and public parastatals.....other incentives like those slay mamas that hold table for marks......chai..lecturers dey flex........all in all..this salary is small compared to other jobs like oil ,banks and auditing.the only plus is job security!!!!

Good salary structure. most are just womanizers

Initially, a ward Councillor earned more than them. Thanks to OBJ that reviewed the salary structures with the assistance of ASUU national body.

Hmm

Not bad sha

Hmmmmm

Why won't the sale of handouts and settlements for a good grade be on the increase if this is what they earn? Nigeria is just a Zoo. Somebody please post that pix of Legislators salary.

So a whole Professor don't even earn half of a Graduate trainee salary in Oil companies or NLNG?

And We dey respect them like a demigod.

Quite a respectable chunk of wages in the present Nigerian situation.

It's about time our lecturers are rewarded justly. An educated nation is a wealthy nation.

These salaries are small.

You are joking right cos lecturing job ain't easy.

With the current recession and the depreciating value of the naira what ever the earn should be divided by two to get the actual amount.

And I heard their polytechnic counterparts earn much higher. Though I don't know how true this is.

Well, lecturing isn't bad but if you are going into it for money, get ready to be frustrated! I left lecturing (in a first grade federal university) for something else and I am not regretting, though I would still go back someday.
OP, not every profession begins as graduate assistant, I started as an assistant lecturer. My senior colleagues (profs and PhDs) almost 'dried me up' with tasks; they will send me to administer test on their behalf, give me hundreds of scripts to mark overnight, I was having sleepless nights every day and getting more frustrated!
