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.
