CUSTOMS PROMOTION EXAMINATION POSTPONED FOR ONE WEEK, NOW HOLDS FROM NOVEMBER 23
There has been a change in the date for the promotion examination earlier scheduled to start next week Monday November 16. The exercise will now commence on the 23rd of November, 2026.
A circular from the Acting Deputy Comptroller General (DCG) D. Gaura. said the action is ‘following a concern on non availability of some examination centers.
He stated that the Comptroller General has approved the one week extension.
‘While it is expected that the one week window will afford eligible candidates additional opportunity to prepare for the exercise, further details to this adjustment will be communicated in due course’
The postponement however, has disorganized thousands of officers who have arrived in Abuja in the last three days, thinking the examination will go on as scheduled.
Some will sensitive duties will therefore, dash back to their stations, while others will incur huge hotel accommodation expenses for additional one week. Meanwhile, there is no special allowance for this movement.
It was earlier announced and signed by DCG S. Chiroma that there will be examination as stated below:
All eligible officers are to:
a. Note their examination details in accordance with their ranks.
b. Fill and print their personnel brief forms on the MIS portal. They are to present only the scan code on the exam day.
C. Ensure they finish documentation at the venue which will commence 2hrs before the examination time in order to get an Examn Number and a seat.
