Customs Service Warns Job Seekers Against Fake 2026 Recruitment Page

By Sabiu Abdullahi

The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has cautioned Nigerians against a fraudulent Facebook page advertising a purported 2026 recruitment exercise, stressing that it is not currently conducting any recruitment.

The Service said it had identified a fake Facebook account operating under the name “Nigerian Customs Service Recruitment”, which was circulating misleading information about the alleged employment opportunity.

In a warning to the public, the NCS described the page and its recruitment claims as fraudulent and urged job seekers to disregard the advertisement.

The Service clarified that it does not sell recruitment forms, employ agents or authorise anyone to collect money from applicants in exchange for job opportunities.

It also warned Nigerians against clicking on links or contacting phone numbers shared by the fake page. Members of the public were advised not to make payments or disclose personal information to those behind the scheme.

The Customs Service said impostors were exploiting its name, identity and reputation to defraud unsuspecting job seekers.

It therefore urged Nigerians to verify recruitment announcements through its official communication channels and remain cautious of online employment scams.
