The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has urged members of the public to disregard two documents circulating on social media that falsely claim to announce screening schedules for candidates who passed the Computer-Based Test (CBT) in its ongoing recruitment exercise.
In a statement posted on its verified X account on Wednesday, the Service described the documents as fake and stressed that they did not originate from the NCS.
“FAKE NEWS ALERT. The attention of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has been drawn to a fake content currently circulating on social media. The NCS wishes to state clearly that these claims are false and did not originate from the Service,” the statement said.
The forged documents, which were marked “FAKE” by the Service in its official post, purportedly announced screening dates in early June 2026 and listed venues across different zones of the country. They also included requirements for the alleged exercise, such as dress codes and identification documents.
The NCS advised applicants and the general public to ignore the misleading information and rely only on updates released through its official communication channels.
The latest clarification comes amid heightened public interest in the 2024/2025 recruitment exercise, which has progressed through several stages, including applications, computer-based testing, and profile updates.
Earlier in May 2026, the Service opened a portal for shortlisted candidates to complete final screening updates ahead of interviews and physical screening, setting May 10 as the deadline for submissions.
The NCS has repeatedly emphasized that its recruitment process is entirely free and has warned applicants against making payments to individuals or groups claiming to facilitate recruitment.
The Service also reiterated its warning about scammers and fake announcements targeting thousands of applicants seeking updates on the recruitment process, urging candidates to remain vigilant and verify all information through official NCS platforms.
