Questions

The things people ask us first.

What is Pryme?

Pryme is a financial technology company. It gives people and businesses in Nigeria one account that holds Naira alongside dollars, pounds and euros, and a set of agents that do the running of it — keeping the books, chasing what is owed, answering customers and paying bills. Nothing leaves an account without the owner’s approval.

Can I hold dollars, pounds and euros in a Pryme account?

Yes. A Pryme account holds Naira, US dollars, pounds sterling and euros side by side on one ledger, each with its own account details — a Nigerian account number, a US account number, a UK sort code and an IBAN for the euro area. You can swap between them at a rate you set, and every currency has its own statement.

What is Spaces?

Spaces is available in Nigeria. It gives a shopper money to spend that can only be spent with a participating business. The business is paid into its Naira account whether or not the shopper repays, because Pryme carries the credit. For the business it is free to join, there is nothing monthly, and the customer’s identity is never shown — only a reference and what it is worth.

What do the agents on a Pryme Business Account do?

Five agents come with the account. The Chief of Staff runs the week and keeps what is stuck moving. Finance watches the money and keeps the books as you trade. Compliance keeps the filings on time and screens what moves. Sales chases what you are owed. Customer Support answers your customers and follows up. Each has a job description, a budget and a ceiling you set, and each one proposes rather than acts — nothing leaves the account without your signature.

How does Pryme Pay work?

Pryme Pay takes payments on your own site or on a checkout page you control. The buyer is given a one-time account number and transfers to it from any bank app or by USSD — no card, no OTP, nothing to type in. The money lands in the same account your agents are running, already matched to the order and already in your books.

What are Savings Boxes?

Savings Boxes are separate pots inside a Pryme account, held in Naira. Flexible Boxes can be withdrawn at any time, Fixed Boxes hold to a date, Investment Boxes hold for longer, and Interest-free Boxes earn nothing by design. A business can use them to ring-fence payroll and the tax it withholds, so that money cannot be spent by accident.

Who holds my money, and is it protected?

Pryme is a financial technology company, not a bank. Accounts and deposits are provided by Solid Allianze Microfinance Bank Limited, which is licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria and is a member of the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Can I build on Pryme?

Yes. Pryme Rails lets a platform issue a dedicated Naira account number to each of its own customers, collect into it and reconcile against it, over one API — the same rails the Pryme Business Account runs on.

What is Pryme?

Pryme is a financial technology company. It gives you one account that holds US dollars, pounds sterling and euros beside Naira, with an assistant that runs the account for you and asks before anything moves. Accounts are provided in Nigeria today, and further markets open as each licence lands.

Can I open a Pryme account from outside Nigeria?

Accounts are provided in Nigeria today, subject to verification and approval. Foreign-currency balances are held and converted inside that account, so you can hold, receive and swap dollars, pounds and euros wherever you are.

Which currencies can I hold with Pryme?

Naira, US dollars, pounds sterling and euros, side by side on one ledger. Each has its own details — a Nigerian account number, a US account number, a UK sort code and an IBAN for the euro area — and each has its own statement.

How do I send money to Nigeria with Pryme?

Swap at a rate you set rather than the rate of the day, then send to any Pryme username or to a Nigerian bank account. There is no fee to send to another Pryme account.

What does the assistant do?

Eva is the assistant inside the Pryme app. She opens accounts, moves money, saves toward your goals, pays what is due and follows up what is owed to you — and asks you before anything moves.

What is Pryme Rails?

Pryme Rails lets a platform issue a dedicated Naira account number to each of its own customers, collect into it and reconcile against it, over one API — the same rails the Pryme Business Account runs on.

Nurses' salary in Nigeria: CONHESS grades explained

How public nurses are placed and promoted on CONHESS, the allowances agreed in August 2025, and how private hospital pay compares, with figures labelled.

PE
Pryme editorialPay and work desk · 19 Oct 2026 · 4 min read
The short answer

Nurses in Nigerian public hospitals are paid on the Consolidated Health Salary Structure (CONHESS), with the entry level set by qualification under the nurses' scheme of service and pay rising by step and promotion. In August 2025 the Federal Government agreed with the nurses' association to gazette that scheme of service and to a 4% call duty allowance and 35% teaching allowance; private hospital pay is set by each employer and is not published on any common scale.

How a public nurse's pay is set

A nurse employed by a federal or many state health institutions is placed on CONHESS, the structure for health workers other than doctors. The placement is written as a CONHESS level and step, for example "CONHESS 08 step 1". Three things decide where a nurse starts and how fast pay rises:

  • Qualification at entry. Diploma-trained registered nurses and graduate nurses (BNSc) are placed at different entry levels. Additional registrations, such as midwifery or a specialty, can affect placement or promotion.
  • The scheme of service. This document sets entry points, promotion ladders and titles (Nursing Officer, Senior Nursing Officer, and so on).
  • Time and promotion. Steps come with service; promotions move a nurse up a level.

The exact entry levels should come from the scheme of service, which, according to the August 2025 agreement reported by AllAfrica, was approved by the National Council on Establishments in 2016 but had not been gazetted. Until it is, the level written in your offer letter or the job advert is the figure to rely on.

The August 2025 agreement

After a seven-day warning strike, the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives (NANNM) and the Federal Government signed a memorandum of understanding on 1 August 2025, reported by AllAfrica on 4 August 2025. The points that affect pay:

ItemStatus as reported
Nurses' scheme of serviceGovernment to gazette it; target within four weeks of the meeting
Consolidated call duty allowance4%, agreed
Teaching allowance35%, agreed
Excess workload, burnout and retention allowancesAgreed in principle; no figures given
Consolidated shift duty allowance (30%), specialist allowance (20%), uniform allowance (₦300,000 a year)Proposed by NANNM; the report is unclear whether these were agreed
Centralised internship for graduate nursesTo be finalised by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria

If you are a nurse checking your own pay, ask your hospital's pay office which of these have reached the payroll and from which month. An agreement is not the same as a payslip line.

How CONHESS has moved

CONHESS is revised separately from the general civil service structure. When the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission announced a 25% to 35% rise for six other structures from 1 January 2024, its statement, as reprinted, noted that health sector workers had already received increases under their own arrangements. So a headline rise for civil servants does not tell you what happened to nurses' pay; check CONHESS circulars specifically.

Across a career, a nurse's pay grows mainly through promotion up the nursing ladder. Each promotion usually requires a minimum number of years on the current level and, in many institutions, an examination or interview. Further qualifications, such as a degree for a diploma-trained nurse, can open a faster route. Keep copies of every promotion letter: they are the evidence if a placement is later disputed.

Allowances that change take-home pay

For many public nurses, allowances make a large difference to monthly pay. Look for call duty, shift duty, uniform, hazard and teaching allowances on your payslip. Hazard allowance for health workers has its own history; see our guide to hazard allowance. The full CONHESS picture, including other cadres, is in our CONHESS explainer.

Public versus private hospital pay

Private hospitals do not use CONHESS unless they choose to copy it. Each sets its own pay, and figures are rarely published. What shapes private pay:

  • Size and location of the hospital (a large Lagos or Abuja hospital versus a small clinic).
  • Shift pattern and whether night shifts are paid separately.
  • Whether the employer runs pension and health insurance for staff.
  • Specialty: theatre, ICU and dialysis skills are often paid more.

Private employers with 25 or more workers must pay at least the national minimum wage of ₦70,000 a month under the 2024 amendment, as described by Mondaq in August 2024; establishments with fewer than 25 workers are outside the Act.

Comparing two offers (illustration only)

These are example numbers, not market rates. Offer A, a public hospital: ₦250,000 gross a month, with pension at 10% employer and 8% employee and health insurance. Offer B, a private clinic: ₦300,000 gross, no pension, no health insurance. Offer B looks ₦50,000 higher. But under the Pension Reform Act 2014 minimums, the employer in Offer A adds 10% of pensionable pay; on an example ₦220,000 of basic, housing and transport, that is ₦22,000 a month into your retirement account (see pension contribution rates). Add the value of health cover, and the gap narrows. Compare total package, not headline gross.

What to check before accepting a nursing job

  1. The CONHESS level and step, or the private gross figure, in writing.
  2. Which allowances are paid and how (percentage or flat).
  3. Shift pattern and overtime terms.
  4. Pension and health insurance arrangements.
  5. Pay date and how arrears are handled.

For negotiating private offers, see how to negotiate salary.

Where Pryme fits

Nurses planning to work abroad often hold savings in more than one currency. A Pryme Personal Account holds NGN, USD, GBP and EUR, and Swap shows the rate and fee before you approve a conversion.

Questions people ask

What level is a nurse on CONHESS?

It depends on qualification and post under the scheme of service. Diploma-trained and graduate nurses enter at different levels; your offer letter states yours.

How much is a nurse's salary in a federal hospital?

It depends on CONHESS level, step and allowances. No official current naira table is published online; check a current payslip or the latest circular.

What did the government agree with nurses in 2025?

To gazette the scheme of service, a 4% call duty allowance and 35% teaching allowance, among other points, as reported on 4 August 2025.

Do private hospitals pay nurses more?

Some do and some do not; there is no common private scale. Compare total package, including pension and health cover.
