and the ones that are armed are being paid 9000 naira?

stefanweeks:
1. Police Recruit
Salary per month – N9,019.42
Annual Salary – N108,233

No wonder they are so vicious at check points

Constables are the least you see in the station or outside.
Recruits are those in training.

Police training was directed from headquarters by a deputy inspector general designated as commander. Recruits were trained at Police colleges in Oji River, Maiduguri, Kaduna, and Ikeja, which also offered training to other security personnel, such as armed immigration officers. The Police College at Ikeja trained cadet assistant superintendents and cadet subinspectors.

But I thought minimum wage in Nigeria is 18k? Who's fooling who?

wetin 9000 fit buy for naija, and this is just their gross salary if you now deduct TAX how much will be left for this men as take home pay. This country needs a total revolution.

but i thought the minimum wage is 18k. why 9k for police recruit

Recruit are those in training not authorised to come out and work until they passed out of training

lastmessenger:
If the minimum wage is 18k,how come a police recruit is paid 9k?Something is not adding up here Mr op.can you clearify us the more?

I almost questioned op. He lies. No federal worker get lesser than minimum wage

Abeg how much be forensic scientist salary for Nigeria police force

j1mmy:


The problem of Nigeria is not leadership, it is citizens and their ape mentality!
You can keep flogging that backward line forever and pass it on to your kids but it is a big fat lie!

You shared your personal opinion!

This is useless post to pity police and support them for there extortion. The police recruits have not started working and the constable is equivalent to school certificate holder in federal civil service. The op should find out how much ssce holder earn in federal civil service, infact some are not earn up to 43k going by 18k minimum wage. The op should also go to state level and see what they earn as salary even ssce will hardly earn 20k. Why their ssce counterpart in civil service pay for all service the police will enter bus and claim staff. There is no excuse for their extortion and that's the salary grade for paramilitary including civil defence. No excuse for corruption in police. Some graduates are not even collect up to 40k as salary while ssce holder constable collect 43k plus extortion.

nairavsdollars:
They are even earning more than civil servants plus the daily bribes. How come they look so miserable and mean?

which civil servants does his or her salary start with #9,000?

That can't be true it's less than the legal minimum wage.

Obviously, the quoted amount indicates[b] BASIC SALARY, ACTUAL SALARY is usually upto 2.5*Basic salary [/b]in government establishments. All the same the salary is not good enough but not as bad as portrayed by the post

Oma307:

9k is not salary but compensation or stipend pay to police in training camp that has not start working, immediately they graduate they become constable and start earning 43k. Why always police? They are under ministry of interior and get their salary grade anybody that's not satisfy it's not compulsory to join police. Shikena.

God bless Nigeria, this is extremely poor for police force, if you give someone gun, and you start treating him like slave, the gun will tell him what to do... Nigeria Police Force cannot do better than what we have now. Some people sit somewhere make the law, and earn 36m and 48m monthly, and some people are to implement the law are not even pay up to 1% of those making the law annually.

Thought minimum wage is #18,000.00


Op... How far?

Modified... Op remove the annual salary of recruits since they don't stay in training for one year and thus make it known it's not salary but allowance.

With families to cater for, bills to pay and other miscellaneous expenses, a man cannot survive by this damn salary structure.

1. Police Recruit Salary per month – N9,019.42 Annual Salary – N108,233
No wonder they are so vicious at check points

lie, minimum wage is 18k

i know of an ex commisioner of police that has luxery of cars.infact he has more that 18 cars including jeeps ,hilux(he only drives few)
.He has 4 canters " for loading goods" 3 tankers(mab he wants to venture into oil)---all are just packed at his homes in kaduna and jos.
So those it mean its just this salary he got in buying all these? " Commissioner Of Police on Grade 15 (step6)
Salary per month- N302,970.47
Annual Salary-N3,635,645.64 "i dnt believe

Can you imagine this! That someone salary for a whole year is just one million!! Even when he retires, the probability of getting his pension is almost zero. And some people are taking millions every month. Baba is fighting corruption with hunger.

SouthSouth1914:
The salary structure is laughable especially as a recruit! How much are senators,house of assembly members both state and the federal level paid??

Why is there so much injustice in Nigeria?? Why is there no hope in sight for the common man?? Why are Nigerian leaders both past and present wicked??

Is Nigeria as a nation really cursed with birdbrain leaders that they cannot create a level playing field for all?

I just wonder!!

You have not added their monthly share from bribe and extortions

That cadet inspector on level 7, his salary is more than an fct teacher on grade level 8. Police are well paid than teachers even with their intimidating credentials

They should have tell us now ... no wonder they alway cry when they see small boy driving with Full tank Ahhhhhhh God punish the founder of this shithole

Don't blame police anymore

I don't get it. If constable can earn up to 40k why are they still interested in taking bribe

Recruit is a person in training to be a police officer.

When an ordinary member of house of Assembly in Nigeria d get about all the recruits salary within a month....

I'm not sure recruits are at check points.

If I'm right, recruits are those who just made selection into NPF.

They've just been "recruited". They are yet to be trained and assigned.

The lowest police rank is constable.

There's nothing pathetic about their pay. 50% of Nigerian graduates do not earn as much as the figures above there. Mind you, if you join the Police as a graduate, you're conferred with the rank of an ASP.

Kindly tell me how many graduates earn up to 100k as their starting salary? Many don't even earn up to N43k which is what a Police Constable with just First School Leaving certificate earns!
