Landmark University, a private institution in Nigeria, has publicly disclosed its salary structure for academic staff, revealing that lecturers without a PhD earn annual salaries running into millions of naira. The breakdown, released by the university, covers two distinct levels: Lecturer I and Lecturer II, with pay varying based on the staff member's grade.
Lecturer I Without PhD: LUASS 10 Pay Scale
According to the university's published figures, a Lecturer I without a PhD, classified under the LUASS 10 pay grade, earns an annual salary ranging from N2,350,394 to N3,032,931. This represents the higher of the two non-PhD lecturer positions at the institution.
The disclosure provides clarity for academic staff and job seekers, as the salary range indicates the earning potential for those at this level. The figures are part of the university's broader commitment to transparency in its employment conditions.
Lecturer II Without PhD: LUASS 08 Pay Scale
At the lower grade, a Lecturer II without a PhD falls under LUASS 08 and earns between N1,863,945 and N2,236,983 per year. The gap between the minimum earnings at this level and the maximum at the Lecturer I level is roughly N1.17 million annually.
This difference underscores how academic rank significantly influences take-home pay for lecturers without a terminal degree at Landmark University. The salary ranges suggest that progression from Lecturer II to Lecturer I can result in a substantial increase in annual compensation.

The salary disclosure comes alongside other financial transparency measures by the university. Legit.ng recently reported that Landmark University released its approved school fees for the 2026/2027 academic session, with fees varying across the programmes offered by the institution.
