Nigerian Civil Service Salary Structure (New Minimum Wage)

The Nigerian civil service plays a pivotal role in the administration and governance of the country, serving as the backbone of public sector operations. Recently, the federal government approved a significant adjustment to the minimum wage, raising it to ₦70,000 per month.

This move aims to improve civil servants’ standard of living and address the economic challenges posed by inflation and rising costs of living. However, while the announcement has been made, the implementation of this new wage has yet to be reflected in workers’ salaries across the board.

The federal government utilizes The Consolidated Public Service Salary Structure (CONPSS) to determine the remuneration of civil servants.

Consolidated Public Service Salary Structure (CONPSS) Grade Level

The CONPSS grade levels range from 1 to 17 and are determined by qualifications, experience, and performance. The lowest-paid civil servant is classified at grade level 1, while a senior officer is assigned to grade level 8. Grade level 17 represents the highest-paid civil servant positions, which include roles such as the Permanent Secretary to the Federal Government.
