The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has officially released the list of shortlisted candidates for its ongoing recruitment exercise. The list of successful candidates is being directly sent to candidates via their registered email address.

The announcement came today, September 9, 2025, with successful applicants receiving email notifications about the next phase.

The email sent out reads:

“Dear [candidate], The Management of the Nigeria Customs Service is pleased to inform you of your selection to participate in the next phase of its ongoing recruitment exercise. You are therefore, advised to carefully go through the outlined instructions:

Candidate Number: [hidden]
Reference Number: NCS/2024/GD/08/0[hidden].”

Candidates should note that the reference number carries ‘2024’ because the recruitment started back in December 2024, but ended in January 2025.

According to the mail:

“a. Candidates will be required to take an online computer-based test (CBT) from any convenient place, provided there is availability of internet facility. Thus, candidates may choose to sit for the test at any internet-enabled computer center.
b. The test is not mobile phone enabled. Candidates are to use laptop computers or desktops that will offer webcam facility and enable full-screen display during the exercise.
c. Candidates will undertake a facial verification process during the log-in process and are therefore advised to de-emphasize clumsy facial looks that may undermine easy facial recognition by the application.
d. Candidates must be aware that the CBT application is sensitive to noise and body movements; and are therefore required to focus strictly on the computer throughout the duration of the test. The system will automatically log out those who engage in excessive body movement and are noisy. Endeavor to stay out of noisy environments as any form of background distraction and whispering may be detected by the system.
e. Candidates must ensure that they remain on one window space through the exercise, as switching from one window to another may be perceived by the system as malpractice.
f. Candidates are to note that there will be a pre-test two days before the actual CBT, to enable them familiarize themselves with the application before the actual test.
g. Candidates will be sent two links; one for the pre-test and the second for the actual CBT which will be on a different date.
h. Candidates who applied for enlistment into the Superintendent cadre (Level will be invited to undertake another CBT at the next phase of the exercise. This will not include those who applied into the Inspectorate and Customs Assistant Cadres.
i. All candidates who are successful in the corresponding phases above will be invited for final screening at a later date.”

The shortlist email ends with a disclaimer that the recruitment process is entirely free and does not require any form of payment or gratification.

PRESS RELEASE

NIGERIA CUSTOMS SERVICE UPDATE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ON ITS ONGOING RECRUITMENT EXERCISE

1. The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) is pleased to inform the general public on the progress of its ongoing recruitment exercise, which commenced with an official advertisement published in national newspapers on Friday, 27th December 2024. In line with its statutory mandate to strengthen manpower capacity and enhance service delivery, a total of 3,927 vacancies were declared across the Superintendent, Inspectorate, and Customs Assistant cadres.

2. The Service received a total of 573,523 applications during the first phase of the exercise. After a rigorous documentary scrutiny, 286,697 candidates were invited to proceed to the next phase. The second stage of the exercise, scheduled to take place from September 14th to 21st, 2025, will be conducted through an online Computer-Based Test (CBT), reflecting the Service’s commitment to transparency, accessibility, and fairness in the selection process.

3. Candidates shortlisted for the CBT are required to undertake the test at any location of their choice, provided there is reliable internet access. The exercise must, however, be conducted using a laptop or desktop computer equipped with a webcam and a full-screen display, as the application is not mobile phone-enabled. A facial verification process will be carried out during login; therefore, candidates are advised to maintain a neat appearance to avoid difficulties with recognition.

4. The CBT application is sensitive to noise and body movement. Accordingly, candidates must remain fully focused throughout the test's duration, as excessive movement, whispering, or background distractions may result in automatic logout by the system.
In the same vein, candidates are advised to avoid switching between windows during the test, as such actions will be flagged as malpractice and may lead to disqualification.

5. To further assist shortlisted applicants, the Service has made provisions for a mandatory pre-test exercise, which will be conducted two days before the actual CBT. This session will enable candidates to familiarise themselves with the application. In this regard, two separate links will be sent to all shortlisted applicants, one for the pre-test and another for the actual examination. Candidates who applied for the Superintendent Cadre (Level should note that they will be invited for an additional CBT in the next phase of the recruitment exercise. This provision does not apply to the Inspectorate and Customs Assistant cadres.

6. The Nigeria Customs Service assures all stakeholders that the ongoing recruitment process remains strictly merit-driven and transparent. Successful candidates will be duly informed of subsequent phases of the exercise through the Service’s official communication channels, the details of which will be conveyed in due course. Applicants are strongly advised to adhere strictly to the issued guidelines and to rely solely on verified official platforms of the Service for authentic updates, as the NCS will neither request any form of payment nor conduct recruitment activities on social media platforms.

No be lie. People use fetish powers to aquire prominent positions and some even get rid of anyone whom they see as a threat or an hinderance to them.
