The Nigeria Customs Service has cautioned applicants in its 2025 recruitment exercise to ignore social media posts claiming to show the number of shortlisted candidates per state for the final stage recruitment, describing it as false and unverified.

The Service also reassured candidates that the selection process remains transparent, merit-based, and consistent with global best practices.

In a statement on X issued on Saturday titled “Unverified Social Media Post on 2025 Nigeria Customs Service Recruitment Exercise,” the Service said the publication did not originate from the NCS or any of its authorised communication channels.

“The Service wishes to categorically state that the publication did not originate from the Nigeria Customs Service or any of its authorised communication channels,” the statement read. It urged members of the public, particularly applicants, “to disregard the information in its entirety.” Punch
