About National Population Commission

This is an agency of the federal government that is saddled with the responsibility of conducting census in the country. And thereby, generating demographic data for the country. This data will help the government to know the population of people in the country. This includes the number of children, men, and women. It will also help the government to know if it should increase its budget or decrease it.

The commission had existed as an entity of its own since 1981, with its members drawn from the 19 states that existed then. It was quite unfortunate that it had not conducted any population census during the period.

Organizational Structure

The national population commission is a commission that is made up of a policy-making body. And the body consists of 37 Federal Commissioners set up in different Standing Committees. The Commission has a leader, who is known as the Chairman, who spearheads the activities of the commission. It also has an administrative head which is the Director-General. Visit https://nationalpopulation.gov.ng/history.html for further detail.

The commission has different departments. The departments within the Commission are as follows:

Cartography
Census
Finance & Accounts
Human Resources and Administration
ICT
Planning and Research
Population Studies
Public Affairs
Procurement
Vital Registration
Legal and General Services.

So in this article, we are going to look at the NPC salary structure based on position, qualification, and even experience. It is very clear that individuals with higher educational qualifications tend to be at a higher level and as such their salary too will be higher than others with low education qualifications.

Who is An NPC Adhoc Staff?

This is a person(employee) employed, and trained by the agency (national population commission) for a temporary work basis, for at least two to four weeks during the period of the conduct of the census, after which the contract of such individuals finishes.

About the Salary Salary Structure

The National Population Commission’s salary structure is divided into two categories: First the salary, and second the allowances. But for the sake of this year’s census, the payment will be structured in three different categories:

Feeding allowance
Training allowance
Transport allowance

Feeding allowance;

This is money/allowance that is given to ad-hoc staff mainly for their feeding, which includes breakfast, lunch, water, and other food they may choose to eat to enable them to stay focused while in the NPC training.

This is how the allowance is subdivided

(a) Specialized Workforce (SWF): N2,000 per day for 13 days. Three (3 days) will be for SWF and ten (10 days) will be for state training.

Some states will not be part of it, and that is those states that were not involved in the first 3 days. However, the total sum to be received is N26,000 (thousand).

(b) State Facilitators: the state facilitators, will pay N2,000 every day to each person for ten (10 days). At the end of it, they will receive a total sum of N20,000 (thousand).

Transport allowance:

What is a transport allowance? This is an allowance/money given to trainees to help them transport themselves from where they are rising to the center where they are receiving the training.

Each trainee will receive a transport allowance of N20,000 at the end of the entire training.

Training Allowance:

Training allowance will also be given to all the trainees at all levels. And their payment will also differ based on the position occupied.
For the training allowance, trainers will receive N15,000 fifteen thousand every day for completing 13 (thirteen days–SWF and 10 (state facilitator).
While trainees will receive: N10,000 (ten thousand) every day for completing 13 (thirteen days), SWF, and 10 (state facilitator).
