He doesn't need to resign, he can apply for secondment and after 4 years resume in his office. Politics is the fastest way of making it big in Nigeria of today and it will boost his profile.

Good evening fellow Nairalanders, a friend of mine is working and campaigning seriously for some to become governor in his state in 2019. My friend is a Federal oil worker But he is not OK with his pay so he is seeking for political appointment in his state in 2019. But my question is how much is a commissioner and other political appointees paid? I mean their basic salary not allowance? This will also help to guide him in making his decision should he loose his Job he will not commit suicide. Also is there any other benefits apart from the salary?
My fellow comrades and great politicians your contributions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

If he's not contesting an election but only supporting a candidate in anticipation for an appointment he may not resign if he works in a government establishment. He's only expected to apply for leave of absence after which he will come back to resume at his work

Tell your friend he is one of the problems of this country. He is seeking political office, not to better the lot of Nigerians, but to better the lot of his pocket? And you are here helping him because you too think politics is just another money making venture? How then is your friend different from any of the political thieves in this country? Shame on you and your friend.

Oga no vex I did not say he will not better the masses oh but why he is serving the people, he still needs to service his stomach through the salary and that what he wanted to know.

But from what you wrote, his primary, (and most probably only) purpose is to serve his bank account. This is bad

Think my friend!

I think this is not correct. A board member of SUBEB in a particular state (name withheld) in South-West monthly salary is nothing less than 500K after tax. I saw the pay slip last month and I was waawwuu. [/quote]

are you sure
but the ministers and commissioners control the money

Mcowubaba:
it varies,
Most State commissioners are paid according to the Civil service structure, that's the ministry to which they are appointed into, the state to which they are appointed (Akwa Ibom state may pay higher than Ebonyi state), you mentioned other political appointments be specific, too vague, which particular appointment?

One thing to note is that in Nigeria, there are lucrative appointments, that they appointees can successfully loot the resources
Example, the Nigerian's Minister of Petroleum has more money to steal than the Minister of Commerce...

And I can see your friend is grooming himself to be amongst the looters of this shithole, congratulations to him in advance.

FYI, a personal assistant to a governor can embezzle more money than 4 state Commissioners combined.

Personal assistants are the people that help Governors do their dirty games, they are mostly rewarded heavily, commissioner na just name, packaging....
How many times have you heard Governors sacking their personal assistants , but commissioners are usually sacked constantly..

If your friend wants to steal with ease, I advise he chooses a Personal assistant, because no much media attention, no known responsibilities, no accountability, i'm talking about personal assistant, not special advisers, the are not the same thing in Nigeria.

Na wao, that there is no difference between corrupt Nigerian politicians and armed robbers.
