New Salary Scale for Nigerian Civil Servants Announced

Following the approval of a new national minimum wage by President Bola Tinubu's administration, Nigerian civil servants on Grade Level 8 now earn between N1,479,276 and N1,914,514 annually, depending on their step within the salary scale. This salary structure falls under the Consolidated Public Service Salary Structure (CONPSS), which governs pay across Nigeria's civil service and includes 17 grade levels.

Grade Level 8 consists of 14 steps, with each step representing a progression in earnings. The lowest step earns N1,479,276, while the highest earns N1,914,514, creating a gap of N435,238.

This level typically includes mid-level employees with several years of experience, and the new salary adjustments have prompted increased interest among civil servants and job seekers regarding the implications of the revised pay structure.
