Chevron
As a young Nigerian youth, am sure you are pretty aware of how lucrative the oil industry is in this company. So it’s no surprise that Chevron makes it to this list.
Chevron is an oil & gas company and is one of the most popular in the country today. It falls among the most profitable oil companies in Nigeria, not just for the company owners, but also for their employees. However, it is not easy to get a job with this company. But if you believe you have what it takes, then you might just be their next employee.
Mobile Petroleum
Here is another oil and gas company, and I can’t tell how many are going to make this list. I must tell you, the present Nigerian economic woes do not have any effect on Mobil members of staff, because they are paid pretty well, even in Dollars.
NNPC
NNPC simply stands for Nigerian National Petroleum Company and is a household name in Nigeria today. Sales Manager with NNPC is paid up to N314,000 per month. Economists with NNPC are paid up to 3.85 million naira per annum. A fresh graduate with NNPC is paid up to 130 thousand naira monthly. They sure do deserve to be mentioned on this list of the top 10 best and highest paying companies in Nigeria for the year 2024 with this kind of pay.
Total Petroleum
Also on this list of the top 10 highest-paying companies in Nigeria today is Total Petroleum, and just as the name goes, you can tell this is an oil company.
To show how well they pay their staff, Entry level employees receive up to N12 million per annum, that’s N1 million per month. Excluding allowances, whoop, just can’t imagine how much their top-ranking staff earn.
MTN Nigeria
At last, we have been able to delve out of the oil and gas industry as we now move into another top player in Nigeria today, the telecommunications industry. MTN is the biggest telecom company in Nigeria today and they are surely one company you might want to work for.
Their Customer Care reps are paid up to N83,000 monthly. Their project managers are paid up to N839,000 per annum. Program Managers on the other hand are paid up to N9.44 million per annum.

Getting a job with Nestle Nigeria is surely more of a blessing, and if you have set your sights on that, I wish you all the best.
Nigerian civil service
Finally on this list is the Nigerian Civil Service, and I would be a pure criminal if I failed to mention them on this list of the top 10 best and highest paying companies in Nigeria this 2024.
The Nigerian Civil Service pays their staffs really well, and this is coupled with an irreplaceable job security.
School leavers employed into the Nigerian civil service on Level 4 Step 1 receive up to N242,994 per annum.
Those at the peak of their career at level 17 Step 1 are paid up to N4,183,600 per annum. This means you will receive about N20,000 per month as a Level 4 Step 1 Employee in the Nigerian civil service and N348,633 per month at level 17. Really cool.
