The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has commenced its recruitment exercise for the 2024/2025 period, aiming to fill 3,927 positions across various cadres. This initiative seeks to address personnel shortages and enhance the agency’s capacity in trade facilitation and revenue generation.
The recruitment drive offers opportunities in the Superintendent, Inspector, and Customs Assistant cadres. Interested candidates are encouraged to submit their applications through the official NCS portal at www.customs.gov.ng. The application process is entirely free, and the NCS has cautioned applicants to be vigilant against fraudulent entities attempting to exploit the recruitment exercise.
To be eligible, applicants must meet specific criteria, including Nigerian citizenship by birth or descent, minimum height requirements (1.7 meters for males and 1.64 meters for females), and other stipulated conditions. Detailed information regarding eligibility and application procedures is available on the NCS recruitment portal.
This recruitment initiative follows the NCS’s significant revenue contributions, having generated over ₦5 trillion by November 2024. The agency’s efforts are integral to the federal government’s ambitious ₦48 trillion budget for 2025, with a projected revenue of ₦35 trillion. The NCS’s role is pivotal in achieving these fiscal targets, and the recruitment of additional personnel is expected to bolster its operational efficiency.
Prospective applicants are advised to adhere strictly to the guidelines provided on the official recruitment portal and to submit their applications before the specified deadline. The NCS emphasizes that the recruitment process is merit-based and free from any form of financial inducement. Applicants should disregard any solicitations for payment and report such activities to the appropriate authorities.
