I've found a report from February this year, with monthly salary for oil stuff in Nigeria. Shell (SPDC) N 667,000 (permanent), N 250,000 (contract) Exxon Mobil N 1 million Total OIl N 1 million MObil Oil Nigeria N 500,000 Mobil Producing NIgeria N 700,000- N 800,000 Converter N 500,000- $139 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
