About INEC

Independent National Electoral Commission, commonly referred to as INEC, is a very significant agency in Nigeria that is mainly responsible for conducting and overseeing federal and state government elections. In order to promote free and fair elections without any form of impartiality, the federal government decided to set up INEC to be in control of the country’s elections.

After each election, INEC ensures that the results are correctly collated and announced correctly to the public. This is done to ensure transparency throughout the election process and to encourage the Nigerian citizens to participate in the election.

INEC Salary Structure

The salary of an employee at INEC is determined by the qualification possessed by the person, as well as the amount of experience the staff has in the agency.

Below are the types of employees in INEC and how much they earn:

Adhoc Staff

Adhoc staffs are temporary employees that have been recruited by INEC for a short period of time. These staffs are usually employed during elections. Once the election is over, they are relieved of their duties. They are just like contract staff.

Adhoc staff can earn as much as ₦15,000 daily. And this daily wage includes feeding and transportation. This means that if an ad-hoc employee works with INEC for 10 days, he/she earns about ₦150,000. This is a very significant amount of money.

However, the only downside to this is that it’s a temporary job. In fact, that’s why INEC pays that much to the ad-hoc staff. The agency believes the staff would be around for a long time, so their little time spent should be worthwhile.

Permanent Staff

As a permanent staff at INEC, your salary is not attractive, unlike the ad-hoc staff. As a school leaver without any degree, your monthly earnings range from ₦40,000 – ₦60,000. But if you are a graduate, you can earn as high as ₦150,000 – ₦200,000 per month. Aside from the regular salaries, INEC staff are also given some nice benefits, especially those who have spent a couple of years in the agency.   

Some of the benefits enjoyed are:

Accommodation allowance

Most of the permanent staff at INEC enjoy accommodation allowance. Some are literally provided with a place to stay for free, while others could receive the allowance in cash. This is one of the benefits people look forward to enjoying while working at INEC.

Transport allowance

There is also transport allowance given to employees at the end of the month. By the time the transport allowance is added to the salary, the paycheck becomes even more attractive.  

Training

Like some large organizations, INEC provides pieces of training to some employees when necessary. This training can be conducted once or twice a year, and it helps the staff to be more skilled and competent at the job.

Medical care

INEC also includes medical care in the benefits package for employees. That is, if there is any need for you to visit the hospital for treatment, the company would take care of the cost.

Pension

Like almost every standard organization, INEC offers pensions to long-term staff. Employees who have served in the agency for several years are entitled to a pension by the time they retired.

Corpers Salary at INEC

During election periods, INEC seeks help from National Youth Corpers. They employ their services to speed up the election process. Interestingly, this is usually a volunteer service. Youth corpers often volunteer to work with INEC. Mainly, they do this as to improve their CV, which gives them a better chance at landing a good job later on.

But in as much as corpers volunteer, they still get paid, even though it’s little. The amount usually ranges from ₦10,000 – ₦40,000 within the days or weeks of doing the job.
