The Nigeria Customs Service has began the process of recruiting about three thousand two hundred personnel to fill existing vacancies within the agency.
The move is part of on-going reforms being implemented in the last four years by the agency.
Speaking at a media briefing on Tuesday at the headquarters of the service, the Acting Deputy Comptroller-General, Human Resources, Customs, Mr Umar Sanusi, said the time had come when the human resources requirements for implementing the reforms needed to be addressed.
He said the recruitment had already received the backing of the Federal Executive Council, noting that those who meet the requirements irrespective of tribe, religion and state would be considered for employment.
Giving a breakdown of the three thousand two hundred personnel to be recruited, he said that eight hundred Nigerians would be recruited as support staff for Superintendent Cadre while the balance of two thousand, four hundred would be employed under Customs Inspector and
Customs Assistant cadre in the general duty categories.
He said, following the necessary approval from the Federal Executive Council, Nigeria Customs Service is now set to recruit officers and men to fill existing vacancies.
Mr Sanusi assured that the service would conduct a recruitment exercise that is credible, fair and transparent.
He said the recruitment exercise would be free for all participants as no application fees would be required from anyone.
