The inequality between HND and degree holders seem to have come to a final end particularly in all the Para-military services. The Civil Defence, Fire, Immigration and Prisons Board have been directed by the Federal Government that all officers with HND should be upgraded to COMPASS 08, which is the salary grade level for holders of degree certificates at entry point.
A board meeting chaired by the Minister of Interior, Lt Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazau, approved the regularization of the salaries. In a statement issued by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Interior, Abubakar Magaji, it said,
“The board directed that all officers with HND to be upgraded to COMPASS 08, which is the salary grade level for holders of degree certificates at entry point.
“While the nomenclature for the HND holders will start with the rank of Senior Inspector, the degree holders are with the rank of Assistant Superintendent II.”
