Information about the salary structures of the men and officers of the Nigerian Navy is never complete if we do not mention the various ranks in the body of the armed personnel. As hinted earlier, information about the salary structure is somewhat little. Even if we cannot provide the salary structure of all of them, we will still provide information about how they are ranked for the purpose of information. Ranks in the Nigerian Navy are highlighted below<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Ranks in the Nigerian Navy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In case you are interested in knowing the Nigerian Navy ranks so that you can know how Nigerian Navy officers are ranked in order of seniority, the information given below will prove to be the best you have ever come by in that regard. The ranking in the Nigerian Navy is done in two different manners. One has to do with Nigerian Navy Ranks for non-commissioned officers, while the other one has to do with Nigerian Navy Ranks for commissioned officers. We will deal with the ranking among the non-commissioned officers first and then go to the commissioned officers\u2019 ranking afterwards.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Nigerian Navy Ranks for non-commissioned officers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This particular category of officers in the Nigerian Navy consist of only six offices and the entire pack is led by the apex is Warrant Chief Petty Officer, while the very last person among non-commissioned officers in the Nigerian Navy is referred to as the Trainee. The six are arranged in the order of their seniority with the most senor coming first and the least officer coming last.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Warrant Chief Petty Officer<\/li>\n<li>Chief Petty Officer<\/li>\n<li>Petty Officer<\/li>\n<li>Leading Rating<\/li>\n<li>Able Rating<\/li>\n<li>Ordinary Rating<\/li>\n<li>Trainee<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Nigerian Navy Ranks for commissioned officers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Next, we are going to delve into rating among the commissioned officers. These officers are the ones that make the decisions and they are at the leading positions. They call the shot and are the more respected. While the noncommissioned officers do have their own roles, they are still not as much respected as the commissioned officers. The noncommissioned officer is still subject to the commands and orders and rules of the commissioned officer any time and any day. Even if the commissioned officer is a fresh graduate and the noncommissioned officer had been in service for years, the latter must still obey the former in all things. That is the order that operates in the Nigerian Navy and the case is the same in other arms of Nigerian armed forces. Order, discipline and hierarchy are three important things that the Nigerian military thrive on and they will never want to sacrifice those for anything.<br \/>\nThere are 12 ranks in this category of officers in the Nigerian Navy. The 12 ranks are highlighted below and they are arranged in the order of their seniority with the most senior coming first and the least officer coming last.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Admiral of the Fleet<\/li>\n<li>Admiral<\/li>\n<li>Vice-Admiral<\/li>\n<li>Rear Admiral<\/li>\n<li>Commodore<\/li>\n<li>Captain<\/li>\n<li>Commander<\/li>\n<li>Lieutenant Commander<\/li>\n<li>Lieutenant<\/li>\n<li>Sub-Lieutenant<\/li>\n<li>Acting Sub-Lieutenant<\/li>\n<li>Mid-Shipman<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Over the years, prospective Navy recruits are often quite curious about the salary scale\/structure of the organization. Asides the passion to work with this prestigious organization, it is important you have an idea of the pay package of the organization you intend to work with.<\/p>\n<p>However, before we delve in to this information, let\u2019s take a quick look at this prestigious organization.<\/p>\n<p>Established in 1914, the Nigerian Navy originated from the Nigerian Marine. The predecessor of the Nigerian Navy was known to play the following roles:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>administration of the ports and harbours;<\/li>\n<li>dredging of channels,<\/li>\n<li>buoyage and lighting<\/li>\n<li>operating ferry services, touring launches, and other small craft that plied the various creeks and other inland waterways<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In 1914, the Nigerian Marine was split into several departments, one of which was the Nigerian Navy. The other departments that were products of this split include the Nigerian Ports Authority and the Inland Waterways Department.<\/p>\n<p>The primary role of the Nigerian Navy was to train recruits and set up the necessary infrastructure for the administration of naval activities. At the initial phase of establishing the Navy, the officials was made up of mostly reserve Royal Navy officers as well as ex-Service personnel from the defunct Nigerian Marine.<\/p>\n<p>Due to this limited number of skilled navy officers, the Nigerian Navy was prompted to hold its first ever basic training for prospective officers called the HMNS QUORRA. The training began on the 1<sup>st<\/sup> of November in 1957 and during this period, 60 junior ratings underwent a 6 month basic seamanship course.<\/p>\n<p>The progress made at the Navy would later lead to the organization being transformed to a full-fledged Navy with the Queen of England allowing the force to use the title \u2018Royal Nigerian Navy.\u2019 This grant happened in July 1959.<\/p>\n<p>In 1963 when Nigeria became a republic in 1963, the title was rechristened and the new name was \u2018the Nigerian Navy.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>As it applies to other military organizations like the Airforce and the Army, the salary structure of the Nigerian Navy is based on the ranks of the officers.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, the ranks are divided into commissioned officers and non-commissioned officers. The highest ranked officer in the Nigerian Navy is the Admiral while the lowest ranked commissioned officer is the Mid-Shipman. The organization is led by an Admiral who is referred to as the Admiral of the Fleet.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, there are twelve ranks under the commissioned officers and we\u2019ve highlighted the ranks below and the salary per annum of some of these officials.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Admiral \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0N16,303,140<\/li>\n<li>Vice-Admiral \u00a0\u00a0\u20a613,363,229<\/li>\n<li>Rear Admiral \u00a0\u20a612,038,945<\/li>\n<li>Commodore \u00a0\u20a67,385,856<\/li>\n<li>Captain \u00a0N3,715,859<\/li>\n<li>Commander \u20a63,380,086<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are the other ranks but we don\u2019t have the salary package of these ranks.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lieutenant Commander<\/li>\n<li>Lieutenant<\/li>\n<li>Sub-Lieutenant<\/li>\n<li>Acting Sub-Lieutenant<\/li>\n<li>Mid-Shipman<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On the other hand for non-commissioned officers, there are only seven ranks starting from Warrant Chief Petty Officer at the top and Trainee at the grass root.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Warrant Chief Petty Officer<\/li>\n<li>Chief Petty Officer<\/li>\n<li>Petty Officer<\/li>\n<li>Leading Rating<\/li>\n<li>Able Rating<\/li>\n<li>Ordinary Rating<\/li>\n<li>Trainee<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lots of people are interested in knowing how much the men and officers of the Nigerian Navy earn on monthly &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"Nigerian Navy Salary Scale Structure (2024)\" class=\"read-more button\" href=\"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/nigerian-navy-salary-scale-structure\/#more-163051\" aria-label=\"More on Nigerian Navy Salary Scale Structure (2024)\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":163052,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/navy-1.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6w1sx-GpR","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163051"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=163051"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163051\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":284260,"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163051\/revisions\/284260"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/163052"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=163051"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=163051"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=163051"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
