NSCDC Salary Structure
NSCDC Salary Structure. However, NSCDC is a para-military agency in Nigeria empowered by lay Act No. 2 of 2003 and amended by Act 6 of 4th June 2007.
NSCDE Salary Structure and Ranks
NSCDC Rank Structure just like any other ranks in the Nigerian Police, Army, Navy, Airforce, and FRSC have an organised chain of command.
The ranks in the NSCDC start from the Assistant Cadre to the Commandant General.
Just as the Nigerian army has commissioned and non-commissioned officers. Also, the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence have the Cadre and Superintendent Cadre.
Also, be aware that the NSCDC new salary structure is also based on the level of your ranking if you want to be a civil defence officer.
However, Graduates are placed in level 8, and they placed HND holders on level 7. Therefore, Medical doctors are on level 12 while lawyers and those who have master’s degrees are placed on level 9.
Additional Information
However, based on a story recently published in one of Nigeria’s main newspapers, we have an estimate of how much-commissioned officers earn annually.
Therefore, the Civil Defence salary structure depends on an individual’s certificate/qualification and years of service. If the individual is a medical doctor, they place him on level 12.
1. A master’s degree holder is placed on level 9.
2. They placed a lawyer on level 9.
3. If the individual is a graduate, they place him at Level 8.
4. They placed an HND holder on Level 7.

Although, I couldn’t get the new full salary scale as the salary level in NSCDC depends on your rank and promotions.

An officer with NSCDC on level 8 step 1 (Assistant Superintendent Cadre) salary is around N121,000, while for Inspectorate Cadre on level 7 is around N69, 000.
