There's this oil and gas regulatory agency. NCDMB. how much is their entry level and do they pay upfront too
Do all you can to get in if you can. Pay is very very awesome. Almost better than many sister parastatals under petroleum.

Can someone actually move from Category B to A, without going through fresh recruitment?
Yes via transfer of service. Quite a cumbersome process though

This is big lie...the salary can be small but I tell you nobody takes home less than 85k in all for federal higher institutions(poly, uni, coe). The minimium entry level for graduate is 7 which has a take home of at least 89kplus.
the next time you call me a liar, I will so drag you. You clearly cannot comprehend a simple write-up.

LaIabobo:
Even Lagos State pays ministry workers almost better.
And they also have better privileges and there is no fear of abnormal transfers across the country
The latter part is what most federal civil servants experience. They can post you at will.

Technically, the gross salary for Level 04 is not below minimum wage before statutory deductions are made grin
CareerPictures Of IPPIS Payslips (june/july 2020) for an agency using CONPSS by opeyemi2012(op):
As a sequel to the previous thread I created (see link below)

https://www.nairaland.com/6050479/civil-service-public-service-salary

I promised to attach payslips of some staff of a federal agency using Consolidated Public Service Salary Structure - CONPSS (same salary structure as federal ministries), however I had a low battery yesterevening and couldn't complete the upload.

Please note that there are many grade C parastatals that pay very poorly as @Blankstare rightly noted e.g NIMC, NTA, NIPOST, FRCN, NAN, NCMM, NCFR, NRC etc

As a fulfilment of my promise, here are pictures of June/July 2020 payslips of some staff.

Pic 1: Level 04 step 2. This is the entry level of a SSCE holder in all Ministries and agencies using CONPSS. This staff has no loan repayment and his net pay (after gross deductions of housing, pension, tax, union dues and agency association) is N28,120.32 monthly. Payslip is for JUNE 2020.

Pic 2: Level 06 step 2. This is the entry level for an OND holder in all Ministries and agencies using CONPSS. This staff has no loan repayment and his net pay (after gross deductions of housing, pension, tax, union dues and agency association) is N33,501.26 monthly. Payslip is for JULY 2020.

Pic 3: Level 08 step 2. This is the entry level for a BSc holder in all Ministries and agencies using CONPSS. This staff has a loan repayment of N12,083.33 and her net pay (after gross deductions of housing, pension, tax, union dues, agency association and loan repayment) is N46,484.36 monthly. Payslip is for JULY 2020.

Note: If she had not taken a loan, her July salary would be N58,567.69. That is how much a level 08 step 2 core civil servant earns.

Pic 4: Level 09 step 3.

Level 09 step 2 is the entry level for a MSc/MA holder in all Ministries and agencies using CONPSS. However, this staff is on Level 09 step 3 meaning he had a MSc/MA at time of entry and have used one year in service. For every year you spend in service, you add a step until your next promotion. This staff has no loan repayment and his net pay (after gross deductions of housing, pension, tax, union dues and agency association) is N69,767.38 monthly. Payslip is for JULY 2020.

Please note that Level 09 step 2 earns about N2500 lesser than level 09 step 3.

CareerCivil Service, Public Service, Salary Structure & What Civil Servants Earn by opeyemi2012(op): 10:11pm On Aug 12, 2020
I promised to create this thread because I noticed that a lot of nairalanders have wrong perceptions of what workers in "core civil service" really earn monthly.

Civil servants vs Public servants

According to the then Head of Service of the Federation in 2018, Ms Winifred Oyo-Ita.....

Oyo-Ita, who is a member of the minimum wage committee constituted by President Muhammadu Buhari in 2017, said there is ongoing deliberation on the pay disparity between the public and civil servants.

“There is a difference between civil service and public service, civil service is a subset of public service, so you find that in the enlarged public service we have parastatals that are earning fantastic sum of money and we have military and para-military earning money that cannot be compared to that of the civil servants.

“This core group of civil servants are just about 80,000 and they earn peanuts. A driver in the civil service earn as low as N18,000 to N20,000 a month.

“You have a director who has been in the Service for over 30 years, due for retirement is having a monthly take home of about N300,000, whereas that is the starting point of some graduates in some parastatals.

“In some parastatals, fresh graduates are starting on N250,000 – N300,000 and you want the director to go and supervise such agencies.

“All the issues of pay disparity will be addressed in the Presidential National Minimum Wage committee.”

https://thewhistler.ng/fg-to-address-pay-disparity-between-civil-and-public-servants-oyo-ita/amp/

Sadly, these issues were not addressed.

https://theeagleonline.com.ng/remedy-huge-salary-disparity-in-core-civil-service-labour-urges-fg-2/

Categories of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs)

BY STATUTORY FUNCTIONS
a. Ministries/Core civil service: The Ministries play a supervisory role to the parastatals. The Ministries are headed by Ministers. The head of service is the most senior civil servant.
b. Parastatals (agencies and departments): usually under a Federal Ministry or under the office of the SGF i.e Presidency.
They have more precise functions according to the Acts that created them. These are headed by DGs, EVC (as with NCC), Director (as with DPR), CFI (as with NAICOM), GMD (as with NNPC), ES (as with PEF, TETFUND) CEO (as with NEPC, NIDCOM), etc

BY SALARY STRUCTURE
a. Harmonised salary structure funded by National Treasury: These includes all Ministries and most parastatals (agencies/departments/institutes etc) whose annual budget including salaries and allowances are funded from the National Treasury. You will always find their budget estimates in the annual national budget.

MDAs in this category uses salary structures like;

CONTISS
CONUASS - for academic staff of universities
CONPSS - for core civil service/ministries. Also the poorest
CONPASS - for paramilitary agencies
CONAFSS - for armed forces
CONMESS - for medical doctors
CONHESS - for health workers
CONTOPSAL -for top officials like NASS Clerk, SAs to the President, NSA etc
CONTEDISS
CONRAISS - for research agencies/institutes
CONPOSS - for police
CONPCASS - for polytechnics and CoE
CONICSS - for intelligence community i.e DSS
etc E many gan ooooo. grin

b. Special Salary Structure funded by National Treasury: These group enjoy a special salary structure (most times 4-10 times higher) than the CONPSS (the poorest salary structure). However, they are funded from the National Treasury and are included in the national budget. e.g NEITI, NARSDA, BPE, DMO, BPP, EFCC, NIGCOMSAT, ICRC, SEC, DPR etc.

c. Self-funded agencies: Agencies under this category are revenue generating agencies. They fund themselves and therefore determine their own salary structures. NNPC, CBN, NPA, NIMASA, FAAN, NAMA, BOI, FMBN, NCC, PHCN, FIRS etc fall under this category.

BY UNOFFICIAL CATEGORISATION
On the street, among lawmakers during unofficial discussions and among job seekers, we have;

a. GRADE A/JUICY AGENCIES: Agencies that oay 200k and above monthly. Also revenue generating agencies fall into this category. For the lawmakers, these agencies have the capacity to give out mouth watering contracts. NCC, DPR, NDIC, NIMASA, PPPRA, PEF, etc

b. GRADE B AGENCIES: Agencies that pay between 80k -150k but below 200k. NACA, NHIS, NLN, most paramilitary agencies, FAAN, NABDA, NAIC etc. Most agencies fall under this category.

b. GRADE C: Agencies that pay below 80k. All ministries are also included here with the exception of Petroleum Resources, Justice and one other I cannot immediately remember. NIPOST, NIMC, and few other parastatals fall under this category.

Having said that, a level 08 officer (BSc holder) in the core civil service (Ministries and grade C agencies using the CONPSS) earn below 60k monthly as net pay. Level 09 (MSc holders at entry level) earns below 70k/monthly and PhD holders at entry level (level 10) earns below 80k monthly.

An BSc entry level staff at DPR or PPPRA (SS6 is what they call level cool will earn more monthly than a senior lecturer with over 5 years post PhD teaching experience in a federal university. If ASUU finally joins IPPIS, a Professor will earn less than an entry level BSc holder at NLNG, PPPRA or DPR.

Attached are July 2020 payslips of some civil servants in a federal agency but using CONPSS (same as the Ministries).

PS: I won't entertain any questions. I don't have any connections. I don't sell job slots. I work in a grade B and seeking to move to a grade A. No PMs please. Thank you

you are very wrong, i work in a Federal Institute and an entry salary for a graduate is 100k
you clearly cannot decipher between a federal parastatal and ministry. Your federal institute is a parastatal under a federal ministry. The person you quoted knows what he is saying.

ETX-NG is super fast, I must confess. I helped one of my friends process her transcript from uni.

At first, the uni wasn't registered on ETX-NG, I put the records guy through, he sent them a message on their website and the uni got registered the next day. Then he sent my friend's transcript last week Monday and the report came out same week Friday, just 4 days.

Most courier services would have just arrived by that time, so it's way better to use ETX-NG o.

Thanks to @Abuja2Canada for shedding more light
Unilag has deliberately refused to join ETX NG. Even the VC replied my mail stating they do not want to join ETX. He however promised to work on modalities that will enable them to send eTranscripts to WES in future.

Hi guys, I'm new here and I have a few questions please.

I've written my IELTS (wrote it on July 8 ) and my result is online, but for me to complete my application and enter the pool, I need my "test form reference number". This number is only available on the hard copy and British Council has not sent that to me.

Any idea on what I can do? I've called severally, emailed and even sent a message on twitter, but no response.

Please advice.

Also what are my chances of getting an ITA?

I'm 25 with a BSc, and my IELTS results are LRWS: 9,8.5,7,8.5

Thank you

Thank you all for your supports here.
I was able to do my capturing today.
I did it all by myself and with the support I got here.
So, I applied online and made payment via netpost pay (26k) on the 10th. Interview was scheduled for today.
I got to Ikoyi office at 8:25am.
I was asked to go and file my documents at the business centre (be careful, those guys are rogues. They charged me 2k for just a file and 3 photocopied documents they gave me. I insisted I wasn't going to pay, but they later collected 1k).
As I entered the gate, I went straight to the court to notarize my guarantor's form (N500).
Then, I went to servicom (its by the right of the entrance gate) and got my documents filed again.

After filing my documents, I was told to waite for sms this week before I come for capturing.
I pleaded with the man and appealed to do it today with the excuse that I came from a far place.
That was how he took my file inside and the whole process started again.
Same man directed me to the next office to go, from there to another desk till it entered capturing office.
There were just 3 persons before me.
In all, I spent about 2hrs to get everything done.
I await the sms for collection.

Thank you all once again!
Well done bro. If we all follow due process, the era of illegalities may soon go away. I hope the passport will bring great opportunties for you. Cheers!
