The Nigeria Customs Service has opened its recruitment portal for shortlisted 2025 candidates to complete a final screening update, setting a deadline of May 10, 2026, for completion of the exercise.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the service explained that only candidates who successfully passed earlier stages of the recruitment process are eligible to participate in the current phase.
According to the statement, applicants are required to log on to the official portal at https://updates.customs.gov.ng and complete a designated form that will be used to update their personal profiles ahead of the final interview and physical screening.
The NCS emphasized that the exercise is mandatory for shortlisted candidates, warning that failure to comply within the stipulated timeframe could affect their eligibility for final selection.
“In continuation of the selection process leading to the final stage of the 2025 Recruitment Exercise, candidates who were successful in the previous phases are required to visit the NCS Recruitment Portal to complete a designated form,” the statement read.
It added that the portal will remain open until 11:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 10, 2026.
The Service also reiterated that the recruitment process is completely free of charge, cautioning applicants to avoid fraudulent individuals or messages requesting payment in exchange for employment.
It stated, “The recruitment exercise is strictly free of charge, and all official communication will only be conducted through verified channels.”
To further assist candidates, the NCS provided dedicated help desk contacts and official social media platforms for inquiries and verification.
It urged all shortlisted applicants to complete the update within the deadline to avoid disqualification from the final stages of the recruitment process.
