Positions open in the Kaduna State Primary Health Care Board recruitment
There are 10 positions, and each one has a CONHESS level. CONHESS is the salary scale for health workers in Nigeria. The bigger the number, the higher the level. So CONHESS 3 is the lowest here and CONHESS 7 is the highest.
The advert says 1,800 is the total for the whole exercise. It doesn’t say how many slots go to each position, so don’t assume 180 per job.
