The remuneration NPC ad hoc staff would receive from the National Population Commission for the conduct of the 2023 Population and Housing Census is categorised into two categories. They are allowances and the main salary.According to the Director of Census Department, Mrs. Evelyn Arinola Olanipekun, in a memo directed to the state and local government training centres on the guidelines to be followed in the payment of allowances to NPC ad hoc staff, the allowances to be paid are of three types:
1. Feeding Allowance
2. Transport Allowances
3. Training Allowances
Mrs. Olanipekun stated that specialised workers and facilitators will receive allowances as follows:
1. Feeding Allowance
(a) Specialized Workforce (SWF): N2,000 per day x 13 days (3 days of SWF and 10 days of state training). However, states that did not observe the first 3 days are exempted).
Total: N26,000
(b) State Facilitators: N2,000 per person, per day, x 10 days
Total: N20,000
2. Transport allowance of N20,000 per person
3. Training allowance
(a) Trainer: N15,000 per day x 13 (SWF) and 10 (state facilitator)
(b) Trainee: N10,000 per day x 13 (SWF) and 10 (state facilitator).
Payment will be made twice for all categories, as follows:
Transport and feeding: N46,000 (SWF), N40,000 (state facilitators)
Training allowance: trainer (SWF): N195,000; trainee: N130,000;
State trainers (facilitators): N150, 000; trainees: 100,000.
The above allowances would be applied for other categories such as enumerators and supervisors, but with a shortened number of days of training and a slight reduction in the amount.
On average, feeding, transportation, and training allowances for specialised work force, facilitators, enumerators, supervisors, and other census functionaries are between N50,000 and N100,000.
The main salary will be paid after the 2023 Population and Housing Census Exercise.
On average, each census functionary would receive between N50,000 and N250,000 as basic or main salary, in addition to allowances.
