Nigeria’s Customs Service announces a shift to annual recruitment and says its next hiring exercise for 2026 will open later this year. The announcement, reported by multiple outlets, outlines that the service will move away from irregular recruitment schedules and instead run hiring on a yearly basis. Both reports indicate that interested applicants should expect the 2026 recruitment window to begin later in 2026, with details to follow through the service’s official channels.
The reports describe the change as a new recruitment approach by the Nigeria Customs Service, with the 2026 exercise framed as the first to follow the annual system. While the sources agree on the timing—opening “later this year”—they do not provide additional specifics in the supplied text about eligibility requirements, application dates, or recruitment locations. Overall, the coverage focuses on the policy change to yearly hiring and the expectation that prospective candidates will be able to apply once the 2026 portal or process is officially opened.
