Some guys got all the luck.
I was taking care of my parents and 6 singling even at the age of 20. I didn't inherit any tangible thing from them when they died.
I just just a teacher then.

revenue generating agencies are not civil servants, rather they are public servants. Theres a difference. Public servants get paid in line with whats obtainable in the industry and also the amount of money they generate. Civil servants are strictly at the mercy of government

wow I didn't know that..

Interesting. Spilling the beans. There's 1001 ways bosses make extra bar in government. Some positions are more lucrative than others. You block a pipe, they find another opening.
Unfortunately , the system is rigged . You have to play ball or get axed fast.
Most times the DGs/CEOs have to play ball with the superving minister, Senators/members etc. You also have to play ball with your downlines or they sabotage you.
I once overhead a discussion of a senior staff in an agency telling someone, actually swearing that if the DGs position in his agency was up for sale he would buy it for #1 billion. That even if he doesn't have the funds , he would source it. Can you imagine.
There's money in Govt, corruption and accountability is the problem.

Tbh, this writer actually gave the honest truth about what goes on in the civil service. Almost everyone in the civil service are thieves
Given how low the salaries are, this is hardly surprising - job security can only compensate for so much. The interesting question here isn't why government employees are driven to engage in petty corruption to get by, but why the government payroll is so bloated that it can't afford to pay its employees enough for most of them to stay honest.

The answer, of course, is that every Nigerian government - at every level from the smallest LGA to the FG in Abuja - treats the public payroll as a means of patronage rather than as a tool for delivering services to the general populace. It's all about "federal character", "our turn to chop" and "our kinsmen", so every new administration expands the number of meaningless positions so that fake "jobs" can be handed out like confetti to relatives, friends, political supporters and so forth. Any attempt to rectify this is met immediately with cries about a "witch hunt" and viewed through a "tribal" lens, which is sadly all-too-often justified given how many Nigerians seem to think only people of their own particular "tribe", "village" and religion can possibly be truly qualified to hold any given position.

If Nigeria were a less artificial country whose citizens truly believed in it as an entity, it would be easy to advocate radically reducing the size of the government at every level, which in turn would make it possible to pay the ones left behind properly. Unfortunately, Nigeria is no less a "mere geographical expression" today than it was when Awolowo said so in the 1950s, so the only possible solution is to deregulate the economy enough for private sector growth to make public-sector jobs unattractive even for the usual beneficiaries of "you chop I chop" government.

i believe this is state civil service, not federal

Federal ends at 17 not 16
And Level 8 in federal service is about 50k, not 90
it depends on the MDAs, every ministry has different consolidated salaries. My that is a research institute , we start our level from 7, which is conraiss 7 and end it as a DG in 15, and its a Federal Institute and that conraiss 7 receives about 100k as a net salary

The truth with corruption in this country is that when you are outside the system you stand against it and deride it but when you enter the system, you find a way to justify it and just incorporate yourself in the flow....the best thing is not to join the system at all because if you join the system then you MUST join the flow

The closest you can get to integrity in naija is a private sector. Especially an international organization

Forget integrity in government. They can even kill you if you stand in the way

I just have to comment. Exactly my experience during my IT Siwes. I don't think practice like this will end soon.

When Nigerians benefit from this practice we call it CONNECTION but when we didn't benefit we call it CORRUPTION. I wept for people that are morally upright because you can't be mortally upright and still be in those parastatals. Anyway na where man dey work him they change chop is their motto.

And some of us think this country can become better someday? Chai... with such attitude, I'm sorry the country will continue to sink.
I could remember a similar exposure during my industrial training at a Federal Government Parastatal in year 2012. Civil service salary is nothing to write home about but corruption levels up things for them. It's frankly obvious that our structure does nothing but promotes corrupt practices, which outrightly hurts the system. We definitely can't fight corruption unless we overhaul the system completely.


Nice interview though...
