The staff had a meeting with the DG on Friday and he promised there was going to be a review of their salary and they MAY get a 50 to 100% increase soon. He didn’t give a timeframe and even with 100% increase, the salary still won’t be up to 700k because current salary at entry level is about 260k

Una know the type of federal govt work wey level 8-step 1 go dey collect up to 700k net monthly ?....lmao

kalia01:
My brother, Please take note of this.

1. NUPRC and NMDPRA receive the same salary.
2. They also receive the same allowances.
3. The only difference between them is their name—NUPRC and NMDPRA.
4. The difference in their salary and allowances is only 2,000 or 3,000.

Please take note of this.

Additionally, I prefer junior staff of Almighty NMDPRA at Level 6 ( JS1) over Level 10 or 12 staff from NCC, NDIC, and NSIA.

They way people lie with confidence here ....shocks me.

Pluto999:
Not to be rude but your name speaks a lot about you. GT salary isn’t up to 1.6m. Salary before wasn’t up to 800k, that’s why people were leaving to NUPRC cos NUPRC paid more than a mil but later on they had a salary increment of almost 60%. Salary doesn’t include allowances. Please do your research before speaking. It speaks very little of you as an individual.

Always speaking English.......talk and talk but no figures,
I've told you to stop deceiving people.
If you Don't know the exact figure just keep quiet.

Nnpc have staff that collect salaries up to 4m a month

untoldtruth:
The very chairman? Na congratulations be that, can't say exact figures about the salary but it's a nice place to work and the salary isn't low

Well over 6M annually for level 9, I don't know If they did any increment last year

Pluto999:
NIMASA got approval for recruitment last year but they still haven’t done anything concrete on it. Advisably for those with the extra leg should push. Oil and gas are not hot anymore considering the bills BAT is passing. NNPCL GT gets about 1m in salary which is kinda the same as what they get in NIMASA too.

Nnpc salary is well over 2m monthly, stop giving people wrong information

smartkester:
Bro, you really need to do some unlearning.

NUPRC and NMDPRA were former DPR. DPR never had two different salary scale for its Upstream and Midstream departments. The two are just like different departments in an agency.

They operate on same level and same salary scale.

Mtcheewwwww.

I wonder why I even waste my time with you.

Just talk, talk, talk and arguing blindly
no facts no figures ...nothing

Nuprc= part DPR
Nmdpra= part DPR, PEF & PPPRA

They don't have the same salary, upstream pays higher

jackfj:
This man, you just too like plenty talk. I remember vividly the last NNPC recruitment people travelled from the so called abroad to come sit for that exam likewise the interview.

So my friend with the way you talk so highly about this your abroad I see no reason why you're here. All this your mr I know it all energy should be channeled into the travel section and definitely not here.

This is 2026 my friend, with how all European countries and are tightening their immigration law should send a message that the so called abroad is no longer as rosy as it use to be. So chill.

He think say abroad na heaven,
Even people abroad have come to write nnpc exams.
a friend abroad slide into my dm they ask me about MDas job, I shock but I no ask questions further.

Allow that one to be fooling himself.
Obviously na small piking dey worry am

jackfj:
NNPC and that NUPRC dey a different league.
Wetin be abroad.

Those two jobs go open doors and go really make you know wetin dey happen for the oil and gas business for naija.

Let no man deceive you, those two jobs go change your financial status for good.
I did my Internship with NNPC.

Thank you my brother.
Allow that one to be talking nonsense.
I also heard NMDPRA are fighting to be on the same salary scale with NUPRC....they have made serious progress.

smartkester:
Eyah! Your mindset is limited sorry to say. In this present age, people no longer japa because of money. People are looking for decent working system. Even those earning over 200m yearly in some top Oil companies still left Nigeria to Canada to get PR. Bro, Japa is now beyond money and even if it's about the money, NNPC is overly rated except you want to steal. When you see people resigning coys like Shell, ExxonMobil and the likes to migrate abroad Wetin be NNPC?

There's no such thing as GL 8 in NNPC. It's SS1-SS6

Lmao na small piking still dey worry you.

Most MDA's run on ss & mss scale, but for clarity sake & ease of conveyance of my message I used the level 8
SS6 is equivalent to level 8, some organisations it's even ss4.


Back to the matter to the matter at hand, like I said na small piking dey worry you.

With $70-100k you can easily passport In one of the islands.

Small children are earning cool cash legitimately, you're talking of stealing.
The person I saw with the salary no pass 26yr

If you see anybody resigning from ioc to japa the person falls In these categories

1 na nepo baby
2 has worked long enough to be financially free from 9-5 and wants to do other things
3 most of them are on transfer to other countries for assignment

If you don't even know its better for you to work In IOC here than IOC in Europe.
salary is the same rate.
It's only US that has far higher salaries.
Generally salaries in US are usually far higher than other countries.
Cost of living here is very cheap. Although growth here is mixed with politics.

Go and check many guys with families abroad, the main bread winner is here in nigeria.

It's your japa cry that is rather overhyped.

smartkester:
I will Japa even with an NNpC job offer. This is personal opinion though but I will advise anyone caught in between the choices to do same

Lmaooooooooooo......you sabi how much be nnpc salary for level 8 ?

As I hear am, my body leave my soul.

Currently no japa worth any nnpc job unless your going to the US fully funded, but even that sef.

Omo NNPC boys no dey grade A agency o, dem dey dey league of their own

From December till now a level 8 officer has collected nothing less than 20m in salary and allowances

Sultan8:
*A+ agencies
- NLNG,NUPRC, NSIA, MOFI …
*A agencies
- NNPC, NMDPRA, NIMASA, PTDF, NCDMB, NIMASA, AMCON, PENCOM, NDIC, NCC, DBN, BPE,CBN, BOI ….

*D agencies
- NECO, UBEC, NEMA, INEC, NPC etc..
*note: list is not based on salary alone but overall staff welfare(package).

Nlng is not a govt agency....49% is owned by the govt, the rest shell, ENi and total.


Nlng is as good as an IOC

smartkester:
Firstly, sorry but you are wrong. They don't beg people with Shell job. Who are you that Shell will be begging you and you mentioned he gave it to another person. That's a big lie, if you understand how these multinationals work you won't spew this. Not even a senator can help you get job with Shell. It's either you merit it or not and if you decline the offer you can't give it to someone else, IMPOSSIBLE.

Secondly, except you are aspiring to become a thief, nothing lucrative about Government job.



The Faruk's example you gave is a sad reality of the systemic failure of the nation. Corruption thrives in the nation that's why every Jack and Jill wants to get to the helm of affairs and loot too.

If you see anyone coming back from the abroad working with a Multinational to take a government job, they have a deep motive for doing that not because government work is normally juicy.

Lmao ......I use to think like this too, being logical in everything. "Everything must add up" lmao

The things I've seen, have made me question my belief system. These days I no dey doubt anything.

Omo the race is not for swift, strong, intelligent, wise but time and chance happens to all.

There are people that got jobs at multinationals via hanging out with random guys at a night club

You not wrong. IOC are largely based on merit. but to think that it's everyone that got in by merit...I laugh in 3d.

Especially in the south south, plenty boys are working in these companies based on community slots

Ask anybody that know about the last chevron operator job.....last year

I don see who get 3rd class dey work for multinational servicing company.

I no wan talk plenty abeg

Sonoyom:
Thousands of individuals are recruited annually and look at the sample size you are using to back up your point, lolzzzz

I won't say anything on this matter again.
Hold on to your assertions, while I hold on to mine.

But, just dey play.

Sonoyom:
There may be outliers, however his position is valid.

Lmao .....outliers ke ?

I try as much possible to be very careful with the things I say here if not I for drop facts/figures.

Any mda that does recruitment, just try I check the new recruits qualifications and experiences, you'll be shocked. Especially for top MDAs

For example in nigeria there are about less than 500 chartered CFA persons in Nigeria

You'll be shocked to hear that 44 of them work in government agencies/regulators about 18 or 19 in CBN

These guys aren't outliers

Go and check the resume of the new boys that NSIA employed.

smartkester:
I agree and you have salient points but let's be clear, no one who has worked with Multinational overseas would come and be stooping so low to get a government job in Nigeria.

Lmao....just dey play.

One thing I've learnt in this life is not to be too logical. just because something does not make sense/ isn't logical no mean say people no dey do am.

Last year I know who dem dey beg with shell job, he say he no send...him wan dey him MDA. He carry am give another person

Even one of the recent MDA that just shared appointment, somebody rejected he say he no even wan work carry give another person for my eye.

Especially if you have been with rich kids, you sopose know that things that will bother you, does not bother them.

Pre buhari era kids from UK, Canada and Finland they fly come write graduate trainee exams for NNPC.

I'm even going far sef, ptdf scholarship boys flew in for interviews.

The likes of them DR joe Abah that use to work for the UK government and eventually came back to work in BPP.

Like I've always said, he get where you go reach for government as public/civil servant where who dey work for Multinational no go show you anything.
Just look at the school fees nmdpra farouk was paying, sch fees o....lmao

Which Multinational wan give you that kind money....lmao

Yauwani:
Pls someone with information should confirm this

I heard they already went for training.
They would soon be done sef.

What I'm not sure of is if it's for junior or senior cadre.

Elsueno:
It's ironic isn't it?

Children of nobody would work hard, graduate, apply for job, meet all the requirements, but their applications is mostly discarded in favor of giving slots to politicians.

More often than not, most of these slot candidates can't even lace d boots of true applicants with robust qualifications But Because they don't know 'somebody' they mostly ain't even considered. Tests, interviews etc. All 4 nothing. But worry not my youngings, they can only do such injustice to u in dis mortal world. They would all pay for denying u ur rights in d next world.

Just dey play.
don't be naive to think that those who got the job via connections aren't competent.

If you see some of their qualifications & experiences, you go fear.

Unfortunately they're graduating from some of the best schools in the world.
Heriot watt, imperial college London, Oxford and co
Some with even PHD's sef

Some with experience have worked with top Multinationals abroad before coming back

I perfectly understand your grievance that life isn't fair.
Like the saying goes - "the rich keep getting richer"
That's what is playing out here.

Omo life no just balance, because even me sef dey wey follow you talk knows how it feels.

Just keep to pushing bro.

I hear say NDIC share appoiment this month.
I here say salary no be here.
Almost a million per month for gl8.

Who can confirm this.

Mohisah:
I ws at one òrg one certain time.. The certs wer boys carry no be small. U will see smb wit abroad experience + Msc... 9ja boy just carry first degree, it can only be God to gift u the job, seeing such certificates & experience, u go already disqaualify ur self..

Guy man point NUPRC straight, i don't know how to advice him on such place not for poor man

😄 haha....I perfectly understand wetin you dey talk

You'll be shocked at some people's qualifications

Geekels:
@Mohisah
I am really interested in this NUPRC, I have the skills and O&G technical experience
How do I get in Please, I need NUPRC badly,

Lmao say na he have skills 🤣 😂

FG no send your expertise except few occasions.

Most Top professionals in FG ( the brainy ones) that are not interested in politics after a while they voluntarily resign and go where they are appreciated.

Pls this is not an attempt to discourage from pursuing your dreams.

Dream big !!! There's enough space for everybody.

Nelly9kelly:
Very insightful points shared here. However, I’d like to pose a general question ,in cases where an employee, whether in government service or a private firm, experiences a serious health condition, accident, or loss of a body part that leaves them unable to work for years, does the organization continue to pay salaries or provide any long-term support? I think it’s also important to factor in such unforeseen circumstances as we plan our careers, even though we don’t pray for them.

Incase of sickness for FG it depends on certain factors.

-Grade level of the affected person
-The Mda the person is working with (each mda different)
-how long is the illness (few months, running in years)


In this case you asked for years, if the illness or injury was caused during work. The mda will most likely cover majority of bills (surgery or even fly you abroad)
While your salary and allowances will be intact.
At most they will redeploy you to a department that doesn't need much work so that you still be an employee while taking care of yourself.
Highest when its time for staff audit, you go show face mark attendance and be going. If the person is a senior grade level he won't even need to come sef, his mates will cover up for him ....and life goes on.
Generally Fg workers are compassionate with each other in cases like this except the person affect is a bad person that people don't like.

Some mda even cover retired staff medical expenses with their spouse even for things like surgery.

But if the Mda too dey form serious and they like to do everything official...after a while they will let you go with a good severance package especially when they need to downsize. The sick fellows are the first to be affected when they want to downsize they ask for everybody's medical records


For private firms, it depends on the organisation too.
But most will let you go.
private people no dey like hear anything money. Except the person is a high ranking official in the company. But if its a bloody officer (lmao) they will let you go.

Like I said, it depends on the company.
Ive seen a low level staff at company that had a vehicle accident since for more than a year. And they kept him.
He comes to office and just chills , once its closing he goes home and he collects his salary.

Mohisah:
Hardly we see that in nearest future. Tinubu has k*lled the fake life of chop for free.. Tax on tax will keep it running.

Ajaokuta steel fit no function but sm stil dey on payroll.. Na who dey inside sabi d game.
Govt no fit release una without severances payment like how NNPC & CBN did.

Dangote sacked 800+ severances dem no see, na fake redeployment we dey hear...

May we not be caught in such phase.

I'm not here to argue severance package.

Simply put in my above writeup, the concept of job security with Govt is just a myth.

Mohisah:
I've 2 people in the IOC but, everyday, dem dey find way to be in Abuja. Nothin beat peace of mind & closing by 4pm. Weekend u drive out to enjoy sports etc.. IOC go gv u money, but na ur children go flex am😂💔

If you can be patient in IOC for 15yrs with planning, investment, assets and divestment of your resources.

You can resign and do the F**k you want with your life

IOC you just need 13-15 yrs of work to be OK in life.

dreamxhaser:
Normal, this, job security and a few other reasons are why i will choose a government job.

For me it’s about the peace of mind and being comfortable.

But if they want compere money make people no dey go that side

Pls I'll like to clarify on something.

there's nothing like job security with FG at best you just have a low probability of not losing your job for 35yrs

But in that 35yrs alot can happen especially for MDA and parastatals.
Things like outright sale, concession agreements and new policies from government can lead to downsizing or total loss of jobs

years Back Nitel use to be one of the best place to work, where is it today ? Where are the staff today ?

What of ajakouta steel ? Where are the staff today ?

NPA use to have 20k plus workers but due to PPP around 2004. downsizing happened, more than 15k lost their jobs.

We are going far sef, is it not Cardoso that came and in the name of restructuring people lost thier jobs at CBN.

I'm currently scared for the likes of NNPC.
If the likes of Atiku & Peter obi comes into power there is a high chance they will sell NNPC off.
just like that 6-7k will lose their jobs. Most likely few with connections will be shipped to Nurpc, nmdpra and co

If you dey inside government job better be planning your life and pray say nothing go happen during your time. If you sit with the mind "na govt job" you're doing yourself harm

Somebody shout.....powwweerrrrr

smartkester:
which source again?
Someone posted his offer letter that is showing 7.4m you're still arguing?. The information isn't a secret. When NNPC released offers in April, the offers where flying over everywhere on social media. The figures were clearly stated there

Na April figures sef you dey use.
Omo you need to level up

smartkester:
I don't know what Nimasa pays but I think they pay well too because they are an A grade agency

Close to around 18-20m per annum for gl8
Salary just got reviewed in July

smartkester:
Their counter parts in IOCs are earning in millions, NNpC entry level hasn't crossed 700k monthly net. ExxonMobil just completed its recruitment and the take home for graduate trainee is over N7m monthly so no big deal with NNPC salaries for now

How sure are you about this figure ?
The streets is saying something else.
I've heard this from a good source

smartkester:
They're sir. I have someone that works there. They get crazy bonuses and 13th month salary too. He goes home with almost 12m every February. The allowances come in February. Though he is a senior staff
Allowances -
wardrobe
Housing
Transport
Car grant - every 3 years
Upfront
13th month
And some other pecks..

Less I forget. They do foreign trips too

What other allowances does NUPRC and NMDPRA pays that surpasses this

Them NuPRC and NMdpra have 14th month

Bj01:
NPA is a sweet job.is as sweet as grade A juicy job.push before the end of the year.Something good may come out.

Juicy ke ?
Those guys just dey manage life
Nobody should pay attention to this guy

Omo I hear NNPC increment na die

Money na water ....who get figures ?

smartkester:
where did you see me advice him not to bother about FG work? Do you have problem with understanding?.

What if he gets an offer with a top Multinational, do you want to compare that with an FG work?

All I meant was that he shouldn't limit himself to FG work.

People are earning millions monthly working with private companies, you think if I get juicy offer today from an IOC I won't leave too and go for better offer

FG work has a steep curve along the line in your career.

The beginning stages mostly no dey make sense. You go suffer for years.

But you see later in your career at management level as you dey grow with your mates and set
Nothing multinational worker go show you.

Have you ever asked yourself why the powerful people in this country still put their children in govt jobs, when they can get them jobs in multinationals or even send them to another country to live ?

For example it's far better to be in the management level of any major oil MDAs than to be in IOC

Many IOC professionals later in their career hustle for management positions in NNPC ....e get why.
At that point you are literally the government's eye.

Somebody shout...Powwweerrrrr !!

Current board chairman NNPC was VP shell global and MD NLNG

Even Current MD NNPC was a shell worker.

Forget oil and gas sef, the likes of Zac adedeji FIRs MD worked in Big 4.

Same applies for military officers at the beginning the journey dey rough but you see as they grow later with their set/colleagues....them be ballers

This maybe hard to believe but there are FG workers In parastatals, they are not even In management sef and if you offer them appointment even if it is in World Bank them no go collect.

Somebody Shout....Powerrrrr !
FG no small o

Please this is not an attempt to discourage anybody from seeking better opportunities.
Please Let everybody do what will improve his/her financial standing but at the same time be carefully not lose what you have in an attempt to chase something better

Somebody shout ....powerrrrr !

Nimasa give us update ......money na water
