Ignore circulating Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) shortlisted candidates list

0

August 1, 2025 – A list of successful candidates for the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) is currently being shared across Facebook and other platforms, but we can confirm that the list is fake and not official. The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has not released any list of shortlisted candidates yet for the 2025 recruitment.

The list in circulation is fake and not official. Both the Nigeria Customs Service and the CDCFIB have not issued any update regarding shortlisted applicants for the ongoing 2025 recruitment exercise.

The CDCFIB, which now oversees recruitment into the four major paramilitary agencies in Nigeria, consolidated the entire process under a single portal, which is recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng.

Any future announcements or shortlisting updates will be released strictly through this official recruitment portal.

Checks also show that the fake list currently making rounds is actually from the previous Customs recruitment exercise.

The document can be accessed at https://customs.gov.ng/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Applicant_list.pdf.

The link clearly indicates it is a 2019 file, not related to the ongoing 2025 recruitment as circulated on social media.

The 2025 Customs recruitment began on July 14, it was briefly suspended, and resumed on July 21. It was announced that the application would run for three weeks. Based on this, the application portal may close by August 4, or August 11 if the suspension period is taken into account.

As such, it is expected that the official shortlist will be announced during these periods.

Applicants are advised not to contact anyone claiming to have the PDF of the shortlist. What scammers are using to lure candidates is an old list, which is obviously not what the Board will use. All job seekers are urged to rely only on official communication from the CDCFIB, which is the board handling this recruitment.

Nigeria Customs Replaces Fast Track Scheme with AEO Programme in 2025

0

The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has announced its plan to transition from the existing Fast Track Scheme to the globally recognised Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) Programme.

This strategic development is rooted in the World Customs Organisation’s SAFE Framework of Standards and backed by Sections 108 to 111 of the Nigeria Customs Service Act, 2023.

The AEO Programme is designed to offer enhanced benefits to trusted traders who meet strict compliance, financial, and security conditions.

According to the NCS, the new scheme will allow for “pre-arrival clearance, minimal inspection, expedited release, and possible mutual recognition with other customs administrations.” This system is expected to boost cargo security, improve trust across trade channels, and create more predictable and transparent import-export procedures in Nigeria.

The Fast Track Scheme, which has provided simplified customs processes to select operators, will be officially discontinued on 31 December 2025. All companies currently benefiting from the scheme are required to begin their migration to the AEO Compliance Programme.

Applications are to be submitted through the dedicated portal at aeo.nigeriatradehub.gov.ng.

The NCS clearly stated that “only companies approved under the AEO Programme will continue to enjoy trade facilitation privileges previously accorded under the Fast Track scheme.”

To ensure a smooth transition and inform stakeholders, the Nigeria Customs Service will host a Stakeholders Engagement Forum on Wednesday, 06 August 2025.

The event will take place at Bon Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos. The forum aims to sensitise importers, exporters, terminal operators, logistics providers, and licensed customs agents about the goals, benefits, eligibility standards, and application procedures of the AEO Programme. Attendees will also get the chance to engage directly with NCS officers responsible for managing the programme’s rollout.

The NCS is encouraging all qualified traders to adopt the new framework. “All eligible operators should embrace this transition and participate actively in the AEO Programme to sustain their competitive advantage while contributing to a more secure, transparent, and efficient trade environment in Nigeria,” the Service stated.

The agency reaffirmed its commitment to modernising customs procedures, improving Nigeria’s standing in global trade rankings, and building a trade system that benefits both legitimate businesses and the government. By focusing on compliance, secure trade, and technological upgrades, the NCS hopes to establish an efficient cargo clearance process and better protect supply chains.

This announcement was made by Abdullahi Maiwada PhD, mnipr, mniia, Assistant Comptroller of Customs and National Public Relations Officer, on behalf of the Comptroller-General of Customs, on 01 August 2025.
