NCS Final List Is Out: How to Check Your Name and What to Do Next, See Pdf list
If you applied for the 2024/2025 Nigeria Customs Service recruitment, this one is for you. The Service has finally released the final list of successful candidates for appointment into the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Customs II (ASC II). This is the last stage after months of application, screening, and waiting, so if your name is on this list, congratulations are well deserved.
The announcement came from the Service’s spokesperson, Deputy Comptroller of Customs Abdullahi Maiwada, on Monday. Let’s break down what it means and what you need to do now.
What This List Is About
This final list is for candidates who scaled through the 2024/2025 NCS recruitment exercise, which opened applications for 3,927 vacancies across the Superintendent, Inspectorate, and Customs Assistant cadres. Applications closed back in January 2025, and shortlisted candidates were later asked to complete a screening update on the NCS portal by May 10, 2026.
Making this final list means you’ve been selected for appointment as ASC II, which is an entry rank for graduates going into the Customs Service. It’s not just a shortlist again, this one is the real deal. ASC II comes with all the perks of a proper federal government appointment: structured salary, pension, and a clear promotion path through the Customs ranks once you’re in and trained.
How to Check Your Name
NCS says successful candidates will get a notification through their registered email or by SMS. But don’t just sit and wait for a text message, go check for yourself too. Head to the official NCS website, https://www.customs.gov.ng/publications/recruitment, where the list has been published. You can also check selected national newspapers, as the Service mentioned they published there too.
What to Do If You Made the List
Seeing your name is not the end sha, there are more steps to complete. Here’s what NCS wants from you:
Once you get your notification, you’re to log on to the update portal, update.customs.gov.ng, using your NIN or the email address you registered with. From there, you’ll upload a valid Medical Certificate of Fitness gotten from a government-recognised hospital. The portal for this opens on Wednesday, 29 July 2026, and you have exactly one week from that date to complete the upload.
While you’re on the portal, you also need to update your current state of residence and click “Accept Offer” to formally accept the provisional appointment. After that, NCS says you should expect your Trainee Identification Number within a week. Details about documentation and physical screening, including dates and venues, will follow through official channels.
Don’t Sleep on the Deadlines
NCS has been clear that this is not one of those “take your time” situations. They’ve warned that if you miss any of these steps or timelines, you risk losing your provisional offer entirely. So if you made the list, mark your calendar and treat that one-week upload window like an exam deadline.
A Word of Caution
Any time NCS drops a big list like this, scammers show up too. Some people will claim they can help you “secure” your position for a fee, or send you fake links that look like the update portal. NCS has said over and over that the entire recruitment process is free, nobody is supposed to collect money from you at any stage. If anyone asks you for money to fast-track your appointment, that’s wahala waiting to happen. Walk away and report them.
