The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has dismissed as fake a viral social media post claiming to reveal the number of candidates shortlisted per state for the final stage of its 2025 recruitment exercise.

In a public disclaimer issued via its official Facebook page, the Service stated that the circulating list did not originate from the NCS or any of its authorised communication channels, warning applicants and members of the public to disregard the information in its entirety.
According to the NCS, the ongoing recruitment exercise began with an official advertisement on 27th December 2024, during which the Service received 573,523 applications across the Superintendent, Inspectorate, and Customs Assistant cadres.
Following a rigorous documentation screening, 286,697 applicants were shortlisted to participate in the first phase of the Computer-Based Test (CBT) conducted in batches to ensure fairness and system efficiency.
The statement clarified that while candidates from all cadres took part in the initial CBT, only successful applicants under the Superintendent Cadre were invited to proceed to the second phase of the test. This phase, the Service noted, was held at designated centres across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones, reflecting the NCS’s commitment to transparency, merit, and inclusiveness in its recruitment process.
“All official updates regarding the recruitment exercise are communicated directly to shortlisted applicants through the NCS Recruitment Update Portal at https://updates.customs.gov.ng,” the statement read in part.
The Service reiterated its commitment to a free, fair, and credible selection process, consistent with global best practices and the principle of Federal Character.
It further advised applicants and the general public to rely only on verified NCS communication channels for authentic information and to refrain from sharing or acting on unverified reports that could cause misinformation or lead to exploitation.
