Nigeria Civil Service Salary Structure| N35,000 Award By President Tinubu
Nigeria Civil Service Salary Structure| N35,000 Wage Award By President Tinubu: Effective from the first of September 2023, the Nigeria Civil Service cutting across the 36 states and FCT will get N35,000.00 per month wage award for all Federal Government Ministries, Departments, and Agencies
It is important to know that, the wage award increase is not the new minimum wage but an award of N35,000 to caution against the effect of oil subsidy removal
For clarity, this wage amount of N35,000 is not the new minimum wage, but a grant to caution the effect of the subsidy removal across Federal Government Ministries, Departments, and Agencies including the Nigeria Immigration Service
“I refer to the Memorandum of Understanding reached between the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) on Monday, 2 October 2023 as a result of the dispute arising from withdrawal of subsidy on the price of premium motor spirit (PMS) and hereby convey the approval of the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for the grant of a wage award of N35,000:00 (thirty-five thousand Naira) only per month to all Federal Government workers with effect from 1 September 2023 pending when a new national minimum wage is expected to have been signed into law.
“Accordingly, the implementation of the N35,000.00 per month wage award for all Federal Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies that are treasury-funded will be funded from the treasury”
A driver in the civil service earns as low as N18,000 to N20,000 a month.
A director who has been in the Service for over 30 years, has 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
Categories of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs)
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)

BY SALARY STRUCTURE
a. Harmonised salary structure funded by National Treasury: These include all Ministries and most parastatals (agencies/departments/institutes etc) whose annual budget including salaries and allowances are funded by the National Treasury. You will always find their budget estimates in the annual national budget.
MDAs in this category use 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
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 groups enjoy a special salary structure (most times 4-10 times higher) than the CONPSS (the poorest salary structure). However, they are funded by 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 CATEGORIZATION
On the street, among lawmakers during unofficial discussions, and among job seekers, we have;
a. GRADE A/JUICY AGENCIES: Agencies that pay 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 a few other parastatals fall under this category.
