The Public Relations Officer, NCS, Mr Joseph Attah confirmed the development in a statement issued on Monday in Abuja.

Attah in the statement said that the candidates were selected after a painstaking short-listing process by the Service.

The statement stated that the Comptroller-General of Customs, Col. Hameed Ali (retd) has given assurances of his determination to preside over a recruitment process that will be credible, transparent and smooth.

It said despite the disturbing attempts by internet fraudsters to hack and discredit the recruitment process, the service is committed to ensuring that the recruitment exercise is conducted in a transparent manner.

It reads in part, “After a painstaking short-listing process, a total of 162,399 have been short-listed out of 828,333 candidates that applied.

“In-line with our earlier stated guideline, those shortlisted are being notified via their e-mail addresses and telephone numbers.

“Consequently, all those notified will do their aptitude tests at a date and centre indicated in their respective notification slips, they are expected to print from their e-mail account.

“For the avoidance of doubt, NCS recruitment process requires no monetary payment, hence any such request from any quarter should be regarded as fraudulent and ignored.”
