        Hello. By Annual basic salary, do you mean the salaries denoted are to be divided by 12 (meaning a customs assistant is getting 280k/12 montly) or 280k is actually the monthly salary?
        Thanks.

    Hi, Please I want to confirm a mail received from NCS today, scheduling an interview and screening exercise for tomorrow with a payment of 3,500.
    I’m not sure if this is genuine or not as I don’t make payment to a wrong account.

    thank you!
