Oil salaries higher in Nigeria

摘要

NIGERIA HAS EDGED out Egypt, Libya and Kurdistan on a list of oil and gas producing countries where energy majors pay the most supplementary pay to senior staffers, according to executive recruitment firm The Curzon Partnership. Attracting talent to frontier countries such as Nigeria remains a challenge for the oil and gas industry. The average general manager in the West African country can receive a country premium up to 45 per cent of base pay, bringing total salaries to approximately US$460,000 a year.
