It was first introduced in May 1967 during the Nigerian Civil War within the then Federal Capital Territory of Lagos for the purpose of sensitization and protection of the civil populace on enemy attacks and how to save themselves from danger, air raids, bomb attacks, identify bombs and how to dive into trenches during a bomb blast.

Ranks and Salary Structure
The Nigerian Civil Defence has the same Salary Structure as Military Forces and Police in Nigeria because they all have a similar chain of command.
The salary structure of the NSCDC officers is based on the certificate/qualification one holds. For instance, HND Holders are placed on Level 7; Degree Holders are placed on Level 8, while Masters Holders are placed on Level 9. So you see the higher your level of education, the higher your rank. This is part of the reasons why education is very important.
Since the Civil Defence Corp is a paramilitary structure, the salary is determined by the Consolidated Paramilitary Salary Structure (CONPASS).
The table below shows the ranks, levels and annual basic salaries of civil servants in Nigeria from the lowest to the highest.
