The Nigeria Customs Service has said that it received 573,519 applications in the just-concluded 2024/2025 recruitment exercise, barely a week after the portal was opened.
The applicant seeking jobs for the available positions surpasses the 3,927 vacancies to be filled by the service.
Last week, Finance Minister Olawale Edun announced that the Federal Government had approved the recruitment of 3,927 officers for the NCS to bridge gaps and enhance trade facilitation.
But providing an update after the expiration of the deadline, the NCS’s National Public Relations Officer, Abdullahi Maiwada, revealed that a total of 573,519 applicants have already applied for the 3,927 vacant positions.
He said the vacancies were for different positions including support and general duty staff.
According to the image maker in an interview on Tuesday, the process was seamless and thorough.
