Records show that 825 officers are scheduled to retire in 2026, while another 691 officers will exit the service in 2027.

The retirements will affect commands and units across the country as the agency adjusts to the transition.


The planned exits are part of the normal retirement process within the service and are expected to create vacancies across different ranks.

The move will also open opportunities for promotions and fresh recruitment to fill critical positions.


As the retirement period approaches, the Customs Service is expected to implement measures to ensure a smooth transfer of responsibilities and maintain operational efficiency across its nationwide operations.
