In Nigeria, many citizens believe that they must be strongly linked with the government before they can secure high-paying jobs. Over the years, many Nigerians (including university graduates) have viewed the employment circumstances from this perspective. On a sad note, the actual reason for this is not clear to many Nigerians. There is a vast range of private professions Nigerians can engage in but many still believe that public professions are the best jobs for them. By public professions, we mean the jobs provided by the Nigerian government. In reality, some of these government jobs are lucrative but the major hurdle is that they are dead difficult to secure. Even as qualified university graduates, many Nigerians encounter difficulties in securing employment within the public sector.

The focal point of this article is to familiarize you with the salary structure of the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC). But before we take a review of the salary structure, it is notable to discuss the responsibility of the FCSC as a government-owned institution.
In Nigeria, FCSC is a regulatory body empowered with the right to execute roles such as transfer and appointment of federal civil servants.
