We all want to work in a firm where we receive awesome paycheck monthly.
After a chat with most employees, I found out that most of them would prefer to work in private firms and the reason is that they think private companies pay more and getting a government job is difficult.
But in a country where private business is not stable, most businesses that started years back are no longer in existence, government jobs tend to be the surest bet.
With the economic situation in Nigeria it is understandable to want more than enough money in the bank and regardless of the low pay of government parastatals, there are still some that pays really well.
So if you are considering a career in the public sector, here’s a list of the highest paying government agencies in Nigeria.
