The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has officially announced that all invited applicants for the Superintendent cadre will participate in a Pre-Test exercise scheduled for Monday, September 22, 2025, at 3:00 p.m.
In a statement issued by the Service, the NCS explained that applicants in the Inspectorate and Assistant cadres will be contacted at a later date for their own Pre-Test sessions.
According to the announcement, a dedicated Pre-Test link will be provided to candidates ahead of the exercise, enabling them to log in, complete verification procedures, and participate smoothly.
“The Pre-Test is designed to familiarize applicants with the system before the actual Computer-Based Test (CBT) begins,” the Service stated.
The NCS further noted that once candidates sign in, they will undergo facial verification and are expected to carefully read all instructions 30 minutes before the Pre-Test begins. After the allotted time, candidates must click the START button to commence the exercise.
The Service urged all candidates to adhere strictly to the guidelines provided, emphasizing that compliance will ensure a smooth and hitch-free process.
This development comes as part of the ongoing recruitment exercise, which has attracted thousands of applicants nationwide.
