The Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) recruited 3,852 applicants from 573,680 applications received nationwide for its 2024/2025 recruitment exercise.
The Comptroller-General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, disclosed this during a briefing in Abuja on Tuesday.
He said the successful candidates were recruited into the Superintendent, Inspectorate and Customs Assistant cadres, with all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory represented.
Adeniyi also announced that the Service would henceforth conduct recruitment annually to ensure predictable and efficient manpower planning.
“The Nigeria Customs Service is moving to an annual recruitment cycle. Recruitment will no longer be an occasional event undertaken every several years. It will be a standing, predictable, yearly process,” he said.
According to him, the 2026 recruitment exercise will begin later this year and be concluded within the same calendar year.
