The Nigeria Customs Service has commenced a nationwide survey to assess the perceptions and experiences of its officers and stakeholders on corruption, transparency and integrity within the Service.
The 2026 Customs Integrity Perception Survey, approved by the Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adeniyi, is being conducted in collaboration with the World Customs Organisation under its Anti-Corruption and Integrity Promotion Programme.
The exercise began on Monday, September 28, and is expected to run until October 9, 2026.
The Customs Service said the survey would provide feedback on integrity and anti-corruption issues and help identify areas requiring improvement in its operations.
The exercise is anonymous, with the Service urging officers and stakeholders to provide honest responses based on their experiences.
Officers will participate through a dedicated online platform, while eligible stakeholders will access a separate platform using one-time passwords distributed through Customs public relations units.
The Service said 5,000 one-time passwords had been generated for the stakeholder component of the survey.
Targeted stakeholders include licensed customs agents, importers, exporters, bonded warehouse and terminal operators, shipping and airline companies, free trade zone operators, excise traders and transporters.
The Customs Service said the outcome of the exercise would support efforts to strengthen its integrity mechanisms, improve operational processes and enhance public confidence in the Service.
