The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has commenced the next stage of its recruitment process by shortlisting 162,399 candidates for an aptitude test.
NCS Public Relations Officer (PRO), Joseph Attah, who made this known in a statement, explained that those shortlisted were part of the over 800,000 candidates who applied for employment into Customs in 2019.
The spokesperson revealed that there were attempts by internet fraudsters to hack and discredit the recruitment process.
He, however, gave the assurance that the Comptroller-General of Customs, Colonel Hameed Ibrahim (Rtd), would preside over a credible, transparent and smooth recruitment process.
The PRO stated that the shortlisted applicants have been notified by e-mail in line with customs guidelines.
Attah added;
The Comptroller-General of Customs, Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali (Rtd) has expressed dismay over the criminal activities of these elements and gave assurances of his determination to preside over a recruitment process that will be credible, transparent and smooth from the beginning to the end.”
Accordingly, after a painstaking short-listing process, a total of 162,399 have been short-listed out of 828,333 candidates that applied.”
Attah concluded saying, the recruitment process into the customs service required no monetary payment, warning that any request for payment from any quarter should be regarded as fraudulent and ignored.
