Hello everyone, please I need your opinion on this issues. I got an employment letter for federal government job I interviewed for last year. During the interview the panel actually told me I am way too qualified for the position they are interviewing me for to which I replied them I will take the offer as long as I can progress and grow through the ranks and they told me that they loved my reply that that was what they were expecting me to say.

Today, I received a mail containing my appointment letter and I see the gave me grade level 3 step 2. Although it is a newly commissioned government agency and I am a university graduate with about 5 years work experience. Now I am confused with the grade level I am being offered.

Secondary, I currently have another appointment letter with a private company lacated in the north east, the salary is good with allowance and the working condition is not so bad, I would have loved to take that offer but the location is not favorable to me as my family is scattered between the north west and south west so going to the north east to work will be a difficult thing for me.

I'll be glad if I could get your opinions on this, I don't know how much the Government job would pay yet.

Did you apply as a graduate there? What's the name of the establishment? That will give us clue as places like FIRS starts there grade level from 10 till 1.

Actually they told me they need a degree holder or HND holder for the position.
The agency is the newly commissioned Nigeria Sugar Institute.

State the salary structure or your designation. Not all federal jobs are on grade level.

I don't knw what salary structure. It's stated NSI salary scale. It's a new agency that was commissioned last month so it's hard to get relavant information on the salary structure. Parhaps when I go for my documentation

Grade level 03 Step 2 is for O' level. You were employed with that.

Level 3 is majorly for secondary school certificate. And ur qualifications is way bigger. atleast with Degree and 5years experience you should start from level 8.
if you accept that level 3 offer, you won't pass level 7 before you retire

LordofNaija:
CONRAISS 3 is the equivalent of level 10 CONRAISS1 - LEVEL8 2- level 9 3- level 10

I just hope this is how it is else I won't take oo

No be by force now, I have another job on hand that I'm yet to resume and that pays well just the location is my issue and to some extent it's secure too

Government job is just kinda overrated..

congrats tho on your new job because it's not that easy to get in this current Nigeria....But you can be managing what you have while applying elsewhere, North East is not that safe, my personal opinion tho

I think u should confirm from them during your documentation

I fear o...0 level grade for a graduate with 5 years experience.

A deliberate plot to underpay you.

Run from those people oh. Level 3 is a messenger position I guess.

I personally don't believe in the sustainability of the present civil service and never really applied

LordofNaija:

CONRAISS 3 is the equivalent of level 10
CONRAISS1 - LEVEL8
2- level 9
3- level 10

What sort of misinformation is this?
A University graduate in any federal parastatal today will either be employed with Conraiss 7 which is same as level 8 depending on the salary scale of the place.

Level 3 is for school cert holders.

It's a mistake
