Federal civil service salary after the 2024 minimum wage increase (effective from July 29, 2024, under the Consolidated Public Service Salary Structure - CONPSS, following the ₦70,000 national minimum wage and consequential adjustments):
- GL 01 (entry, clerical): ₦77,500–₦82,000/month (annual basic starts at ₦930,000 for step 1, increasing across steps to around ₦950,000+)
- GL 08 (fresh graduate): ₦123,000–₦140,000+/month (annual basic starts at ₦1,479,276 for step 1, with progression across 15 steps pushing higher ends toward ₦1.6–1.7 million+ annually)
- GL 10 (3–5 years): ₦150,000–₦170,000+/month (annual basic starts at ₦1,806,041 for step 1, increasing across steps to around ₦2 million+ annually)
- GL 12 (mid-level): ₦167,000–₦190,000+/month (annual basic around ₦2,007,152 starting, with steps leading to higher amounts, e.g., ₦2.1–2.3 million+ annually depending on step)
- GL 17 (Permanent Secretary): ₦576,000–₦600,000+/month (annual basic reaches up to ₦6,918,560 or similar at top steps; this is the highest civil service grade)
Plus allowances: housing, transport, peculiar allowance (often 20–45% of basic salary or more, varying by grade, role, and agency), and pension (under the Contributory Pension Scheme with employer contributions).
These allowances typically boost total take-home pay by 40–100%+ beyond basic salary, depending on individual circumstances, location, and specific entitlements (e.g., a GL 08 officer's full package can often approach ₦200,000+ monthly).
These are approximate monthly basic salaries (annual divided by 12), based on official NSIWC-approved CONPSS revisions post-2024 minimum wage. Actual pay varies by step within the grade (progression over years), exact allowances, deductions (tax, pension, etc.), and agency.
The original figures you shared appear to reflect pre-2024 or outdated/inaccurate data (likely from before the consequential adjustments). For the precise official table, refer to the NSIWC circular on CONPSS implementation (available on http://nsiwc.gov.ng/).
