Top 10 Highest Paying Federal Government Jobs In Nigeria & Salaries by simeonine: 8:19am On Apr 08, 2022 |
Are you looking for the highest-paying federal government jobs in Nigeria? Federal government jobs are highly sought after because of the job security over private-sector jobs. Additionally, federal government workers enjoy bonuses and perks such as pensions, vacations, etc. So it’s no wonder you are asking this question. This article covers a list of the top 10 highest paying federal government jobs in Nigeria, their salaries, eligibility requirements, and how to apply. With this information, you can decide which suits your situation and start setting your priorities straight. Also to be discussed are the best paying federal agencies in Nigeria. Let’s get started! #1. Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) NNPC Average Monthly Salary Range First on our list of highest paying government jobs in Nigeria is the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). Founded on the 1st of December 1977 after the merger between the Federal Ministry of Mines and Steel and the Nigerian National Oil Corporation, the NNPC is arguably Nigeria’s best paying federal government agency. They are Nigeria’s official petroleum industry, and they oversee the Federal Government’s oil and gas relations both within and outside the country. Since Nigeria’s economy predominantly depends on oil, petroleum plays a vital role. Hence, the oil and gas sector workers are naturally some of the highest-paid government employees in Nigeria. The NNPC regulates the joint venture arrangements between the Federal Government of Nigeria and multinational oil companies like Chevron, ExxonMobil, Agip, Schlumberger, Texaco, Total S.A, etc. Their headquarters is situated at the NNPC Towers in Abuja (FCT), and they have an international office in London. They also have zonal offices in some of the country’s major states and cities like Lagos, Port Harcourt, Warri, and Kaduna. NNPC workers are reported to earn the following average salaries: Interns ₦18,000 – ₦30,000 Entry-level staff ₦180,000 – ₦350,000 Sales manager ₦300,000 – ₦450,000 Economist ₦350,000 – ₦500,000 Experienced staff/manager ₦500,000 – ₦1,000,000 Human Resources Analysts and Well Operations Superintendents earn up to ₦665K and ₦1.4m monthly, respectively. #2. Bank of Industry (BoI) We can’t have a list of top paying federal government agencies in Nigeria without the reputable Nigerian Bank of Industry (BoI). They have a long-standing rating as one of Nigeria’s highest-paying federal government parastatals. BOI is the oldest and the largest Development Finance Institution (DFI) presently operating in Nigeria. The BOI is jointly owned by: * The Ministry of Finance Incorporated (MOFI) Nigeria, holding over 94.80% stake * The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), holding a 5.19% stake, and * Private shareholders with 0.01% stake. BOI is a significant agency under the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Investment. The bank offers entrepreneurs and organisations looking to establish small, medium, and large-scale monetary aid projects. By funding industrial projects in major sectors of the economy, they encourage businesses, youth entrepreneurship, and other projects for Nigeria’s benefit. BOI Average Monthly Salary Range Analysts ₦240,000 – ₦350,000 Banking officer ₦450,000 – ₦570,000 #3. Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), established by the CBN Act of 1958 but started operating by December 1st, 1959, is another federal government agency with a high staff salary structure. It is the apex financial regulator in Nigeria charged with the obligation to maintain its external reserves, promote a stable economic environment to the economy and serve as a financial adviser to the Federal Government. The CBN keeps a close guard of their affairs, and their salaries are purposely shielded from the public. However, we did some findings, and these are the average salaries the CBN pays its worker. Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Average Monthly Salary Graduate Trainees ₦43,000 – ₦50,000 Entry-level staff ₦120,000 – ₦122,000 Loan officers ₦573,000 Data Analyst ₦647,000 Branch manager ₦732,000 #4. Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) NIMASA is another one of the highest paying federal government jobs. Getting a job with the agency is not particularly easy. It was established in 2006, and they are saddled with the responsibility of regulating the Nigerian shipping industry, coastal waters, and maritime labour alongside the Nigerian Navy. They also conduct inspections and carry out search and rescue services with the Navy. Like the CBN, the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) are also quite secretive about its salary. NIMASA Average Monthly Salary Structure Entry-level staffs ₦100,000 to ₦150,000 Grade Level 7 (step 1) ₦90,000 Grade Level 8 (step 1) Up to ₦103,988 #5. Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) A job at the FIRS is a dream for many graduates. FIRS staffs collect, supervise, and record taxes. In addition to their lucrative salary, FIRS staffs enjoy many allowances and benefits, and their job security in the agency is guaranteed. Factors like the job position, the level or grade, and the years spent in service determine how much a permanent staff at the agency is paid. FIRS Average Monthly Salary Structure NYSC Corps Member N23,000 – N26,000 NYSC Corps Intern N35,000 – N46,000 Accounting Clerk Intern N68,000 – N73,000 Accountant N199,000 – N211,000 Tax Officer N290,000 – N310,000 Conseiller En Développement N280,000 – N298,000 Tax Administrator N343,000 – N360,000 Inspector of Taxes N383,000 – N412,600 Human Resources Generalist N480,000 – N517,000 #6. Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) Another agency that offers a high-paying federal government job in Nigeria is the Nigerian Port Authority (NPA). The NPA is in charge of maintaining the ports in Nigeria. The two major ports under the NPA’s command are the Lagos and Port Harcourt ports. NPA Average Monthly Salary Structure Counselors ₦180,000 to ₦200,000 HSE officers ₦300,000 to ₦400,000 Deck Cadet ₦250,000 to ₦300,000 Control & instrumentation engineers ₦450,000 – ₦600,000 #7. The Nigerian Military The Nigerian Military consists of the Nigerian Army, Airforce, and Navy. Salaries in the military are paid based on ranks. Joining any branch of the Nigerian military as a commissioned officer will see you earning higher than a non-commissioned officer. Who is a Commissioned Officer? A commissioned officer is an officer who commenced his military career by gaining admission into the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) for special training and courses or one who after completing his higher education (University or Polytechnic) obtained, passed, and successfully completed the training and courses of the Direct Short Service Course (DSSC). Anyone who falls into any of the categories above will be commissioned after completing his training and courses. Commissioned officers have more legal responsibilities than non-commissioned officers, therefore they hold higher ranks and are paid more. Who is a Non-Commissioned Officer? A non-commissioned officer simply put, is a military officer who has not pursued a commission. They obtain their position of authority by promotion through the listed ranks. Non-commissioned officers are divided into Junior Non-Commissioned Officers (JNCO) and Senior (or staff) Non-Commissioned Officers (SNCO). Many Nigerians see non-commissioned officers as those without the needed academic qualification to advance into the Commissioned ranks. But this is untrue. There are hundreds of non-commissioned officers who possess the needed academic qualification but have to settle for the lower cadre because of circumstances like unemployment, influence, etc. Now let’s look at the estimated average salaries of each branch of the Military. Average Monthly Salaries of the Nigerian Army Commissioned Officers Second lieutenant 160,000 – 180,000 Lieutenant 186, 000 – 200,000 Captain 200,000 – 230,000 Major 230,000 – 300, 000 Lieutenant colonel 300,000 – 360,000 Colonel 360, 000 – 600,000 Brigadier General 650,000 – 800,000 Major General 800,000 – 1.2 Million Lieutenant General 1.2 Million – 1.7 Million naira. General 1.6 Million – 2 Million Non-Commissioned Officers Rank Average Monthly Salary (NGN) Recruit 10,000-12,000 Private 50,000 Lance Corporal 52,000-55,000 Corporal 57,000 Sergeant 56,443 – 69,260 Staff Sergeant 69,000 – 81,000 Warrant officer 82,000 – 100,000 Master Warrant Officer 90,000 – 160,000 Average Salary Range of the Nigerian Airforce Commissioned Officers Marshal of the Nigerian Air Force Yet to be attained Air Chief Marshal N1,724,283 Air Marshal N1,486,451 Air Vice-Marshal N1,376,343 Air Commodore N677,895 Group Captain N352,631 Wing Commander N342,586 Squadron Leader N248,004 Flight Lieutenant N232,484 Flying Officer N218,400 Pilot Officer N187,159 Non-Commissioned Officers Rank Average Monthly Salary Air Warrant Officer N171,793 Master Warrant Officer N165,697 Warrant Officer N101,974 Flight Sergeant N87,119 Sergeant N69,261 Corporal N55,832 Air Craftsman N53,892 Recruit N10,237 Average Monthly Salaries of the Nigerian Navy Commissioned Officers Rank Average Monthly Salary (NGN) Admiral 1,358,590 Vice-Admiral 1,113,600 Rear Admiral 1,003,240 Commodore 615,490 Captain 309,650 Commander 281,670 Lieutenant Commander 230,652 Lieutenant 195,685 Sub-Lieutenant 150,625 Mid-Shipman 118,835 Non-Commissioned Staff Rank Average Monthly Salary Warrant Chief Petty Officer 120,853 Chief Petty Officer 90,825 Petty Officer 80,.852 Leading Rating 70,855 Able Rating 50, 855 Ordinary Rating 45,854 Trainee N0.00 #8. Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) The Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) is one of the country’s paramilitary agencies. It controls the importation and exportation of goods in and out of the country. NCS pays their officers according to their ranks and qualifications. This implies that a graduate with B.Sc will earn higher than an officer with an O’level certificate. The ranks and structure of the Nigerian Customs Service are different from that of other Nigerian military or paramilitary organizations. Customs Assistant ₦40,000 – ₦57,000 Assistant Inspector of Custom ₦65,000 Inspector of Custom ₦73,000 Assistant Superintendent of Customs II ₦74,079 – ₦82,415 Assistant Superintendent of Customs I ₦84,380 – ₦95,294 Deputy Superintendent Customs (DSC) Officer ₦91,168 – ₦104,336 Chief Superintendent Customs (CSC) Officer ₦96,514 – ₦110,436 Assistant Comptrollers ₦102,132 – ₦117,120 Deputy Comptrollers ₦134,953 – ₦152,132 Comptrollers ₦146,652 – ₦163,856 Assistant Comptroller-General ₦189,357 – ₦205,380 Deputy Comptroller-General ₦206,666 – ₦224, 000 Comptroller General ₦208,333 – ₦230, 000 #9. Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) The Nigerian digital space is a rapidly growing economy with monumental improvements. This growth has made the Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) one of the highest-paying government agencies in Nigeria. The commission was established in 1992 and it has since then coordinated the emergence and development of telecommunications industries in Nigeria. Like other government parastatals, the NCC salary is determined by qualifications and level of experience. Besides the salary packages, staff are also entitled to allowances and bonuses. Average Monthly Salary Structure Apart from the bonuses, an entry-level staff in NCC is said to earn at least N120,000 monthly. Depending on your skill and experience, you can earn up to N380,000 monthly. #10. Petroleum Product Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) Petroleum Product Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) is one of the downstream sector regulators in Nigeria. They supervise the sector’s gradual deregulation and liberalization. Average Salary Structure A level 8 staff is estimated to earn between N140,000 to N190,000 monthly minus bonuses and allowances. A senior officer can earn as h9igh as N5 million https://exampulse.com/10-highest-paying-federal-government-jobs-in-nigeria-salaries/ 26 Likes 6 Shares |
