The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) says the purported recruitment update currently circulating on some social media platforms is fake and did not originate from the service.

n

NCS’s spokesperson, Abdullahi Maiwada, made this known in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.

n

Maiwada urged members of the public to disregard the false information, saying the service would only communicate recruitment updates through its official channels.

n

He also advised the public to remain vigilant and verify information before sharing it.

n

“Members of the public are advised to disregard the publication and rely only on information disseminated through the official communication channels of the NCS.

n

“Official NCS social media handles are Facebook: Nigeria Customs Service. Instagram: @customsng; X (Twitter): @customsng; Threads: @customsng; and TikTok: @customsng,” he said.

n

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the NCS received 573,523 applications during the first phase of its exercise after it advertised a total of 3,927 vacancies on Dec. 27, 2024, across the Superintendent, Inspectorate and Customs Assistant cadres.

n

In 2025, various stages of the recruitment exercises were conducted, but appointment letters were yet to be issued. (NAN)
