The Nigeria Customs Service has dismissed a recruitment update circulating on social media as fake, warning members of the public to rely only on its official communication channels. NCS spokesperson Abdullahi Maiwada said in a statement issued on Thursday in Abuja that the purported update did not originate from the Service.
He urged the public to disregard the information, remain vigilant and verify recruitment-related claims before sharing or acting on them. “Members of the public are advised to disregard the publication and rely only on information disseminated through the official communication channels of the NCS,” Maiwada said.
Recall that the NCS received 573,523 applications after advertising 3,927 vacancies on 27 December 2024 across the Superintendent, Inspectorate and Customs Assistant cadres. Various stages of the recruitment exercise were conducted in 2025, but appointment letters had yet to be issued.
