Customs Warns Nigerians Against Fake 2026 Recruitment Advertisement
By Pan Afric Reporters
The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has warned members of the public against a fraudulent Facebook page advertising an alleged 2026 recruitment exercise, declaring that no recruitment is currently ongoing in the Service.
The Service said its attention had been drawn to a fake Facebook page operating under the name “Nigerian Customs Service Recruitment,” which was circulating false information about the purported employment exercise.
The NCS categorically described the page as fake and the recruitment advertisement as fraudulent, urging job seekers and the general public to disregard the claims.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Service stressed 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.
It cautioned members of the public against clicking on links or contacting phone numbers provided by the fraudulent page, warning them not to make payments or disclose personal information to its operators.
The Service further urged Nigerians to remain vigilant against impostors exploiting its name, identity and reputation to defraud unsuspecting job seekers.
The NCS reiterated the importance of verifying recruitment information through its official communication channels, advising the public to exercise caution and avoid falling victim to online employment scams.
