Updated Nigerian Police Salary Structure 2021 – I just learned that sometime around April 2019 – Another review was made to the Salaries for Nigerian Police (formally the Nigerian Police Force.)
Let’s just get into it. Below are the estimated annual salaries in the Nigerian police arranged by ranks. The list range 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 Nigeria Civil Service Grade Level. So, a Police recruit is in composs 1 which is similar to grade level 1.
STEPS is the number of years you’ve been on 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 a 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 5th 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 this is the bare minimum one would get a particular rank.

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.

The information is good but the taken home is not true.many command are paying so low.inspectors on level 7 step 1 are recieving #67,000 not even up to #73,000.i dont realy know where the deductions are coming from.
Their Money is deducted in order to save for their pension I guess
Its quite unfortunate that the police commission are aiding this corrupt act .

In fact, The Nigeria Police earn better than teachers in Nigeria. It means in Nigeria, teachers are the worst paid.
The salary is reasonable but it suppose to be More than that because police are trying
This salary is enough for every police.
