I just learned that sometime around April 2019, another review was made of the salaries for the Nigerian Police (formally the Nigerian Police Force).
Let’s just get into it. Following are the estimated yearly salaries for the Nigerian police, organized by rank. The list ranges from non-sworn employees known as police recruits all through the Inspector General of Police.
CONPOSS: This stands for Consolidated Police Salary Structure. It’s the equivalent of the Nigerian Civil Service Grade Level. So, a police recruit is in Conposs 1, which is similar to Grade 1.
STEPS is the number of years you’ve been at a particular rank. A corporal in step 3 is the same as a 3rd-year corporal. The 3rd-year corporal earns a little more than the 1st-year corporal.
Steps in the police force stop at 10, which is supposed to be the 10th year. You’d likely be promoted to a new rank by your fifth year or earlier.
I’d like to keep this page simple. So I’ll just be dropping the step 1 salaries for the rank. Just know that this is the bare minimum one would get for a particular rank.

Good morning the all of the Nigerian men.
Hello. I’m a Phd student currently doing research on this topic. Could you tell me the source of this information?
I wish you my man
I rather remain jobless than becoming NPF ????
The salary is not encouraging at all. I am a man in a family of five and my dad is also a police officer. An inspector in level 7(10).
The salary is ?? that’s why I never want to become one of them.
I would rather join Network marketing or be an inventor rather than become a NP Officer.
If en easy come collect am
Yen yen yen, nonsense… All we see is the little they collect.. you know they can drag you to court and you’ll pay higher, let’s learn to appreciate the little money they collect on order to save us from bigger charges…. Besides make I give you 50naira make you go feed you family. ode
Allah protect NPF
It is God whom know’s wht NPF is undergoing on issues of salary but tank God for our father GCFR MOHAMMED BUHAER who is on top of the matter now ?
It is quite unfortunate that the pay of these officers are peanuts, not enough to even take care of themselves how much more of their families. I think it’s high time Nigerian youths take actions on politicians, by doing drastic and hard tins to them, for me, soon Nigeria leaders will hear from me, cos it will be my life or theirs.
