The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has instructed all shortlisted applicants for its ongoing recruitment to validate their email addresses on the official recruitment portal. The directive, announced on the service’s official X (formerly Twitter) account, is a crucial step for the 286,697 candidates who have advanced to the next phase.
Key Details for Shortlisted Candidates
To ensure a smooth and transparent process, the NCS has emphasized that all future communication will be sent exclusively to candidates’ registered email addresses. The service warns against fraudulent messages on social media and unofficial platforms.
Here’s what applicants need to do:
- Validate Your Email: Visit the official Recruitment Portal at updates.customs.gov.ng and log in using the National Identification Number (NIN) you used during registration.
- Verify Information: Once logged in, you must confirm that your registered email address is correct and update it if necessary.

Important Next Steps
The NCS provided a clear timeline for the upcoming phase of the recruitment:
- Computer-Based Test (CBT): The date for the CBT will be communicated to candidates via email.
- Access Credentials: Only applicants with verified email addresses will receive the official instructions, pre-test access links, and login credentials for the CBT.
- Warning: The service stressed that candidates who fail to verify or update their emails may not be able to access vital information and could be excluded from the process.
The Nigeria Customs Service reiterates that it does not demand or accept payment for recruitment. All applicants are strongly advised to disregard any messages or requests for money.
