Nigeria Customs Service Exposes Fake 2026 Recruitment Page, Warns Job Seekers Against Fraudsters

The Nigeria Customs Service has raised a red flag over a fraudulent Facebook page named “Nigerian Customs Service Recruitment,” which is circulating false information about an alleged 2026 recruitment exercise.

The Service stated categorically that the page is fake, the advertisement is fraudulent, and there is no ongoing 2026 recruitment exercise by the NCS.

In a press statement signed by the Service, the NCS clarified its stance on the sale of employment forms. “For the avoidance of doubt, the Nigeria Customs Service does not sell recruitment forms, engage agents or authorise individuals to collect money from members of the public in exchange for employment opportunities,” the statement read.

The agency further advised the public to disregard the information being circulated by the fake page and to avoid clicking on links or contacting the phone numbers provided.

Job seekers were specifically warned against making payments or sharing personal information with the operators of the fraudulent page.

The Service urged the public to be cautious of impostors using the name, identity, and reputation of the Nigeria Customs Service to deceive unsuspecting citizens.

The warning comes amid a backdrop of previous scam attempts targeting the agency’s recruitment process.

Earlier reports noted that fraudsters had been circulating fake “replacement forms” and fake appointment letters, prompting the NCS to repeatedly advise applicants to rely solely on its official communication channels for verified updates.
