Customs releases final list for 2024/2025 recruitment exercise

The Nigeria Customs Service has released the final list of successful candidates in its 2024/2025 recruitment exercise for appointment to the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Customs II (ASC II).

The announcement was made in a statement on Monday by the National Public Relations Officer of the Service, Abdullahi Maiwada.

Maiwada advised candidates to visit the official NCS website or check selected national newspapers to confirm their status and obtain information on the next stage of the recruitment process.

He added that successful candidates would also receive instructions through their registered email addresses or SMS notifications.

According to him, candidates who receive the notification are required to log on to the designated website using their National Identification Number or registered email address to upload a valid medical certificate of fitness obtained from a government-recognised hospital.

“The Service wishes to inform all successful candidates that the portal link for the upload of the Medical Certificates of Fitness, as referenced above, will be activated on Wednesday, 29 July 2026. Candidates are required to complete the upload process within one week from the date of activation of the portal. Candidates are also required to accurately update their current state of residence on the portal and formally accept the provisional offer of appointment by clicking the ‘Accept Offer’ button,” Maiwada said.

He said successful candidates should also await the issuance of their Trainee Identification Number, which would be communicated within one week.

“Further details regarding documentation and physical screening, including dates, venues, and requirements, will be communicated through official channels,” he said.

Maiwada urged successful candidates to comply with all the instructions and complete each stage within the stipulated timelines.

He warned that failure to comply with any of the requirements or timelines could lead to disqualification from the recruitment process and forfeiture of the provisional offer of appointment.

“On behalf of the Nigeria Customs Service Board, the Comptroller-General of Customs congratulates all successful candidates on their success in the recruitment exercise and looks forward to welcoming them into the NCS as they commence a career dedicated to professionalism, integrity, and service to the nation,” Maiwada stated.

The NCS began the recruitment exercise in 2024 to fill 3,927 vacancies across the Superintendent, Inspectorate and Customs Assistant cadres.

The online application portal closed in January 2025 after candidates submitted their applications through the Service’s recruitment portal.

In May, the NCS opened its recruitment portal for shortlisted candidates to complete the final stage of the screening process.
