The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has warned members of the public against a fake recruitment update currently circulating on social media, saying the publication did not originate from the service.
The NCS spokesperson, Abdullahi Maiwada, disclosed this in a statement issued on Thursday in Abuja, according to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
Maiwada urged Nigerians to disregard the purported recruitment information and rely only on official communication channels of the service for authentic updates.
He also advised members of the public to remain vigilant and verify information before sharing it on social media platforms.
“Members of the public are advised to disregard the publication and rely only on information disseminated through the official communication channels of the NCS,” he said.
The spokesperson listed the official NCS social media handles as Facebook: Nigeria Customs Service; Instagram: @customsng; X, formerly Twitter: @customsng; Threads: @customsng; and TikTok: @customsng.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the NCS received 573,523 applications during the first phase of its recruitment exercise after advertising 3,927 vacancies on December 27, 2024.
The vacancies were spread across the Superintendent, Inspectorate and Customs Assistant cadres.
Although various stages of the recruitment exercise were conducted in 2025, appointment letters had yet to be issued as of the time of the report.
