The Nigeria Customs Service, NCS, says its future recruitment will be on yearly basis instead of at irregular intervals.
The Comptroller-General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, announced this during a press briefing at the Service’s headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday.
According to him, the decision was part of efforts to create a predictable manpower planning system that would enable the Service to replace retiring officers promptly while giving young Nigerians regular opportunities to join the organisation.
Adeniyi stated that the Nigeria Customs has moved away from a recruitment model under which applicants had to wait several years before another opportunity became available.
The Comptroller-General explained that the new structure would make recruitment a continuous process, with the 2026 exercise expected to commence later this year.
He added that Customs Service now has the systems, screening framework and verification processes required to conduct future recruitment exercises more
