  1. I think is time the Nigeria Government address the issue of the Nigeria Police and it salary.
    You can agree with me that what they take home is too poor for the nature of work there are performing in this great nation of ours.
    in the whole world there are poorly paid and cared for, but yet they risk their lives every now and then. if they get killed at the cost of thier duties their families suffer.

  2. Thank God this honourable administration.I was enlisted 2003 and promoted to sergeant in the the year 2016, but up till now, my salary is still #49000. we have filled forms and no changes. Kindly help me out with your good office. thanks.

  3. This is pure lies what you have here is not what the Federal government is paying the Nigeria police officers please investigate very well before you post something like this good morning.

  4. THE MILITARY AND ESPECIALLY THE POLICE SALARY SCALE IN MY IS VERY POOR CONSIDERING THE JOB WITH THE RISK INVOLVED. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THEIR SALARIES AND ALLOWANCE BY INCREASING IT TO FURTHER ENCOURAGE THEM. THANKS. OAU.
