NIGERIA CUSTOMS SERVICE RECRUITMENT: WE DEMAND JUSTICE FOR ALL SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATES! Nigeria Customs Service

It is unfortunate that some candidates whose names were officially published in national newspapers as successful applicants in the Nigeria Customs Service recruitment exercise are reportedly being excluded from training and appointment.

There are serious allegations that some qualified candidates have been replaced by individuals with influential connections, including people who allegedly never applied for the positions.

Must you be the son or daughter of an influential person before securing employment in Nigeria? What happens to the children of ordinary Nigerians?

Although the Comptroller-General of Customs reportedly addressed 13 protesting applicants and introduced an online complaint platform, we demand concrete action, not just promises.

We call on the Public Complaints Commission, Federal Character Commission, relevant Senate committees, and other responsible authorities to urgently investigate these allegations and ensure that all genuinely successful candidates receive fair treatment and their rightful appointments.

If immediate action is not taken, we will announce a date for peaceful nationwide protests involving concerned Nigerian youths to demand justice for the affected applicants.

Recruitment into public institutions must be based on merit, fairness, and transparency, not family connections or political influence.

No Nigerian is bigger or better than another Nigerian. The children of ordinary Nigerians deserve the same opportunities as the children of the rich and powerful.

WE DEMAND JUSTICE, NOT FAVOURITISM!

Our names were sidelines in the final list of the Nigerian Customs Service. We need justice.

We worked hard, passed the processes, yet we were left out of the training invitation without explanation. The aggrieved Customs candidates are out on the streets demanding answers!

My people, observe with me.

First of all, why is he addressing these concerns in Hausa? Because he knows the people they cheated, he has to talk to them directly. And yet again, he can't address a single one of the questions we are asking.

Secondly, when he was talking about age discrepancies, the interviewer asked him that if they went to investigate, they would find that all the candidates in the training school are below 30. He avoided the question and refused to answer it.

Thirdly, when the interviewer asked him why a significant percentage of the people they published in their initial list were saying they didn't even know the names of the people in the training school because they are not in the list, he also dodged the question by saying that if anybody thinks injustice was meted out to them, they should bring their complaints and they would listen. Meanwhile, a lot of them have been going to your office, and you promised to address their complaints but did nothing!

Fourthly, my very important questions that I need answers to are,

Who are those currently in the training school? Why are their names not published, just as you published the names of the people you scammed? Where are they from? How many slots did you give each state? Why didn't you carry the FCC along in the recruitment process, when the Nigerian Constitution provides for them to monitor and observe, and enforce of federal character principles in public service appointments?

And in this interview, you mentioned on two different occasions that you reached out to them, and it's true, you sent emails, except when it was time to publish their names. For everything else, it was through email.

Why is it so difficult for you to individually tell the applicants why you disqualified them? Are you afraid that they may find out the truth and challenge your decisions?

Because, like I said yesterday, I know more than five people who are physically fit, have no discrepancies in their documents, and are not drug users, yet the Customs still disqualified them.

One more thing - remember that loving someone is choosing them everyday. It won't always be easy, cos people are flawed - you and them. So when you find someone that is worth it (don't lie to yourself) - You keep choosing them. That conscious act is the beauty of commitment.

We don’t want anything or anyone to distract us from our worship in this blessed month. We need good people to encourage us to get the most out of it. May the Almighty bless all of us with righteous company & people who will benefit us in both this world and the hereafter.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Some find it so hard to say no because they are scared of being judged. They're scared of what others will think of them once they change their attitude & stop saying yes to everything. The truth is people will form an opinion of you no matter what you do! So decline politely.
