The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has warned members of the public against a fraudulent Facebook page circulating false information about an alleged 2026 recruitment exercise.
The Service, in a public notice at the weekend, said the Facebook page operating under the name “Nigerian Customs Service Recruitment” was fake and that the purported recruitment advertisement was fraudulent.
It clarified that there was no ongoing 2026 recruitment exercise, urging Nigerians to disregard the information being circulated by the operators of the page.
The NCS also warned that it does not sell recruitment forms, engage agents or authorise individuals to collect money from members of the public in exchange for employment opportunities.
Consequently, the Service advised job seekers to avoid clicking on links or contacting phone numbers provided by the fraudulent page.
It further cautioned members of the public against making payments or sharing personal information with the operators, stressing the need to remain vigilant against impostors exploiting the name and reputation of the Service.
The Customs Service urged Nigerians to rely on its official communication channels for authentic information regarding its activities and recruitment exercises.
