The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has announced plans to review complaints from applicants who were disqualified during its recent recruitment screening exercise despite appearing on the shortlist for training. The Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, ordered a case-by-case review after meeting with some of the aggrieved applicants. In a statement signed by the National Public Relations Officer, Deputy Comptroller Abdullahi Maiwada, the NCS said the review aims to ensure that legitimate complaints are examined while maintaining the integrity of the recruitment process. The Service explained that appearing on the final shortlist did not automatically guarantee enlistment, as applicants were required to undergo several stages of verification, including credential checks, physical fitness assessments, medical examinations, age verification and drug screening.
