Harboursandport.com: Lagos - July 8,2025: The Nigeria Customs Service, NCS, have written an official statement to debunk the fake news which have been circulating on social media and other messaging platforms, falsely announcing the shortlist for a Computer-Based Test, CBT, as part of the ongoing NCS recruitment exercise.

The National Public Relations officer of NCS, Abdullahi Maiwada, who spoke on behalf of NCS, stated that at no time did the Service issued any such announcement regarding a CBT slated to take place in July 2025.
"NCS wishes to categorically state that the said press release is fraudulent, misleading, and did not emanate from the Nigeria Customs Service. Upon close scrutiny, it is clear that the fake statement contains several discrepancies, particularly in its formatting. The e-signature format differs from our official standard and the recruitment timeline mentioned shows a faulty structure that is not connected to any legitimate process".
Abdullahi emphasized that NCS understands the interest of many Nigerians in its ongoing recruitment process and urges the public not to engage with, share, or act upon unverified content, as authentic information about NCS activities, including its ongoing recruitment exercises, will be published only on their official website, verified social media platforms, and recognised national newspapers.
"The Service is taking steps to trace the origin of this false information and will take appropriate action to hold those responsible accountable. When the Service is set to begin the next phase of the recruitment process, the public will be duly notified through appropriate channels", he added.
He appreciated the vigilance of concerned Nigerians; and reaffirms their commitment to protecting the public from misinformation, ensuring that all processes uphold the highest standards of transparency and integrity.
