CGC Adeniyi announces new changes to customs recruitment
The new system would enable unsuccessful applicants to know when the next recruitment exercise would take place instead of waiting for years without certainty.
The Comptroller-General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, says henceforth the Service will conduct its recruitments exercise annually.
The new system would enable unsuccessful applicants to know when the next recruitment exercise would take place instead of waiting for years without certainty.
The CGC disclosed this during the release of the 2024/2025 recruitment exercises, announcing that 3,852 applicants were selected from 573,680 applications received nationwide.
He disclosed that the successful candidates were recruited into the Superintendent, Inspectorate and Customs Assistant cadres, with all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory represented.
Emphasising on the annual recruitment cycle, Adeniyi said “Recruitment will no longer be an occasional event undertaken every several years. It will be a standing, predictable, yearly process.”
According to him, the 2026 recruitment exercise will begin later this year and be concluded within the same calendar year, from advertisement to publication of the final list.
