BSC certificate holders who join the Custom Service have a specific rank which is given to them when they join the service. Just like any other paramilitary organization in Nigeria, the Custom Service has divided their ranks according to qualifications. This simply means that the rank which is given to SSCE certificate holders will not be the same as the rank given to HND certificate holders, and the same goes for the BSC certificate holders. Now let’s see the BSC rank in Custom and their appointed salary.
Before we go deeper into the explanation, there are a few things you need to understand so you will understand everything we are trying to say in detail.
The first thing you should understand is that the Nigeria Custom Service is a paramilitary organization in Nigeria that controls the smuggling of goods and services in the country, and they are mostly deployed close to the borders with Immigration Service Officers. They are among the highest-paid paramilitary agencies in Nigeria.
So now, what is the BSC rank in Custom? Previously, in our post on the Custom Salary in Nigeria and Ranks, we made mention of the ranks in the Custom Service, including that of the BSC holders. We also wrote about the National Diploma rank and salary in Custom. Now in this post, we will only be discussing about the BSC certificate holders’ ranks.
BSC Rank in Custom
The BSC rank in Custom is Assistant Superintendent of Customs II (ASC II) and it is the starting rank of the BSC certificate holders before they are promoted to their next rank. One good thing about possessing a BSC certificate before joining the Custom Service is that you can be able to reach the rank of Assistant Comptroller General of Customs, which is the highest rank in the Custom Service. Now let’s discuss about the BSC salary in Custom.
BSC Salary in Custom
The BSC salary in Customs is between ₦164,087 and ₦252,037 monthly, depending on the years of service. A BSC holder that just joined the Custom Service will not be paid the same salary as the BSC certificate holder that has served for 3 years. That’s why we said it depends on the years of service.
