A civil servant will never get past level 17 even after working for 35 years. A guy that was selling recharge cards prior 2015 got appointed as a media aide and he is on level 33.

In a country where there is no fairness, there can never be progress.

hegelian:

They are already out to defend the evil against the people... Just imagine thinking from a so called Nigeria.. No wonder you defend all evils against the people.. That you are rich doesn't mean everyone is rich..

Rich in nairaland, his riches is not sustainable.

You are richer than him, the day he stop sycophaning that's the day he goes back to his village.

Ask am which job e dey do, or business? E no get any na Reno omokiri oh. Na only to dey praise your oppressors/politicians be him job.

Tell me how that take dey sustainable. He is part of the praise singers to the oppressors that's how he feeds so don't envy him

It's high time we resist all this bogus remuneration for political office holders and appointees until it is at par with the equivalent of civil servants. How is the special assistant job more important than a school teacher who earns less than 100k?

Na Aboki e go be

hegelian:

Why defend g something that we know to be so wrong.. So because it's a political appointment and for a short term, it means it should earn more than a level 16 or level 17 director.. Why do we always like defending our oppressors or must we defend everything cos we benefit from it

how is he defending something wrong, this a political appointment no pension whatsoever and dont forget this is NIGERIA one of the biggest in africa the rate of poverty and corruption should not make us see figure and not equate it with the present day standard of living

we will meet




one day

muykem:
Let us be realistic. Political appointment is not employment. It's just for little time, no pension, no retirement benefits.

I get pension for where I dey work now?

I need short term employment for 4 yrs

muykem:
Let us be realistic. Political appointment is not employment. It's just for little time, no pension, no retirement benefits.

Is this meant to be a joke?

This is very irresponsible to put out someone else's detail in public like this. You didn' even blur his name and other personal details. What do you intend to achieve?

LegendHero:


Lol no mind these guys. Poverty don destroy their brain so they think 850k is much for an SA at that level.

I am even surprised it is that low. So these guys are earning roughly what I pay bi-weekly for state tax alone?

I see why Nigeria is corrupt now. From this amount, some constituents will ask him for money, people will bring their problem to him, and then the guy will now have incentive to steal more.

I’m curious about his CONPSS grade/level. It’s not clear how they wrote that GL 33 or maybe na me no understand.

850k is not much for SA at that level but 30k is ok as minimum wage...that screw in your brain needs fabrication.

StOla:
Is this supposed to be scandalous?

A short term employment that we already know is remunerated higher than the regular civil service?

I still do not understand why many Nigerians lie to themselves about the actual pay of political persons being high, when many entry level roles in the private corporations in this same country pay up to that and more than that in some instances.

I can never quit my private sector job to go earn all this chicken change in the public or political service that many will still hate you because they think it is this small salary that is making them to suffer.

Tackle the real financial wastes and there will be more to go round to have a living wage like this one for all government workers.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!!!
Go to any reasonable country, salary of "special assistant" is commensurate to salary of other govt workers!
See the outrageous nonsense we have below. Instead of seriously working towards a revolution you are here carping nonsense!!

You must have been brainwashed to think that any professor in his right mind will accept 250k; even on a part time basis.

StOla:


The argument is that a professor is earning N250k etc.

Tell those lying doctors and professors to show you their actual payslip, and you will be surprised at all manner of jumbo bonuses that dwarf their claims.

If my senior civil servant parent was already earning over N100k during the Obasanjo regime with minimum wage at about N7500, how would the professors not earn so much more with current minimum wage at N30k?

This is an example of their official salary, but they won't show you what they share weekly, quarterly, and what they carry in Ghana must go bags every weekend to their houses all in the name of allowances.
We are living in a country where politician allowances are more than regular salaries lol.

You guys are here spewing trash as usual.

Enemyofpeace:
Personal Assistant ooo not a commissioner, not a minister, not a Senator, not a member of House of Representatives.

Nigerians have every reason to pour into the streets and ask those in power across the nation some hard questions

I don’t even understand this comparison. They don’t earn in dollars. Why comparing your tax to what they earn?

They are Nigerians in Nigeria. Their pay needs to be comparable to what Nigerians in Nigeria make in naira.

At the bolded. They do give civil service workers allowances?

StOla:


I believe that grade is a political grade different from the regular grade 1 to 17.

I have a problem with the table you attached.

A grade 1 at N360k annual suggest it is N30k per month.

Is that not the current minimum wage of N30k?

Is that amount not just the basic salary, without the bonuses and allowances?

Can we have the actual data that shows the allowances like housing, vacation, feeding etc.

I know these civil servants like hiding these details.

A grade 17 step 9, earn more than this annual basic of N6.2m.

Daddy Cool down.

What you have shown should not be allowed in terms of how the budget of the National Assembly has continued to grow while the minimum wage has stagnated.

However, you cannot blame some of us for not seeing anything scandalous about a salary that an OND graduate will earn in Total.

Yes, compared to the civil service that salary is way higher, but political service and civil service have never had the same pay structure and will never have.

What should not be allowed is having the political class easily adjust their own pay to cater for inflation, while doing nothing significant about minimum wage.

muykem:

Is that reason why it should be more than the salary of a professor?
Trust me, there are people out there that will do a better job for 150,000 a month. More qualified people.

Who is a director? Can everyone be a director? What was his contributions? Are u aware that Nigeria problems comes from the civil servants unpatriotic contributions? 35 years in service doing what? Nothing meaningful and they goes to politics,national or state assembly after retirement, that is the result we are getting today. No result.

I don’t even understand this comparison. They don’t eat in dollars. Why comparing your tax to what they earn?

Be careful when you say what Nigerians in Nigeria make in Naira.

Stop confusing the obviously suffering civil service to what the private corporations pay.

Even in the US, political salary compares more with the private industry pay, and not with American civil service pay, despite that both civil service and private industry derive their pay from the same minimum wage as it is in Nigeria also.

Entry level salary at ExxonMobil for Engineers as at 2010, was about N1.5m in this same Nigeria.

That was about $10k monthly at the rate then.

I was at an NNPC interview in 2011, when a guy from Shell who applied for an experienced hire role, declared his salary as N2.5m

There was a time when mid level telecoms personnel were earning between N1.5m to N3m circa 2007.

The problem you have with Nigeria political office pay versus civil service pay, also exist in the US.

Your true comparison should be if such pay is outrageous for that economy.

The answer is hell No!

It is this mentality that is ruining Nigerians. How is it a shirt term employment, when it is funded continuously? Personal assistant are funded in every administration, so there is no pause. As long as there are PAs, they would be paid. The problem is not the title, it's the funding. So if every 4 years, almost 1 million naira is set aside for a PA, and if the boss does 2 terms , then it is funded for 2 terms. Another boss gets into power and a new set of PAs are appointed, and the funding continues.

Solution- Cut government expenditure. We as a nation are spending too much to fund the 3 tiers of government. This is on. Federal level, we are not even talking of states.

Au contraire. It is VERY commendable and we ought have more of these types of exposures and transparencies till there is a revolution.
Why all the secrecy??

Please which one is GL 33.......
Is that a special code for FG PAs.....
Anyways that's what written in paper and probably not what they keep for themselves. Sometimes a fraction of that money is given to someone as gratitude on a monthly basis.

What is wrong with this guy?? How much is the minimum wage in that US? How much does the president make.
You may not know but it is official that Nigeria's senators and reps are the HIGHEST PAID in the world!!

This is BLATANTLY FALSE!!!

Trust me, there are people out there that will do a better job for 150,000 a month. More qualified people.

Who ever declared a professor must earn more than an entry level tech professional or top law firm entry level lawyer, not to talk of an experienced attorney or experienced finance consultant who has been made partner?

The scenario above is even in the so called saner climes of USA.

StOla:


Stop all these lies.

The level 17 has much more earned than the N400k. They also have termination benefits that a short term political appointee does not have. In fact, a mere review of the actual payslip will tell you otherwise that a level 17 earn more than that N400k.

Even in the private sector, I have been opportuned to employ short term consultants who were earning more than me on a salary that I determined for them based on what was obtainable in the industry, after careful consideration that they were to cater fully for themselves and families with that singular monthly salary.

Even within my team, I know some permanent staff are so wicked and shortsighted that they will never allow such consultants earn more than them.

In this same Nigeria that many are lamenting like poverty is the air everyone breathes, there are consultants who earn over $1000 everyday of work for contracts that could run into 3 or 5years.

It seems you base your point those earnings not minding the outrageous number of jobless people that couldn't earn even 30 minimum wage. Can you justify the service been rendered to you by your hired consultant to that of SA?

StOla:


$175k is average salary in America?

Who is deceiving this one.

It is not even average salary in ICT not to talk about American civil service.

That is a very top executive salary equivalent to working in senior roles with ExxonMobil or Total or NLNG in Nigeria.

So if the Trump regime was paying $175k to any political jobber, when a teacher or senior police chief in America is not even seeing $80k in a year, then you have only shown that political roles rake in more money well beyond minimum wage.

Only top law firms and technology firms will pay anything close to that for a very top brain. Nothing average salary about that amount.

That amount is 3years salary if talking about average pay for those doing well, while it is 2years salary for top earners below management cadre.

I specifically said Software engineer or medical doctor. I didn’t say IT person and someone in the medical field. Agbado man
