Originally, the ENAM (École Nationale d’Administration et de la Magistrature / National School of Administration and Magistracy) received the best students from the school system to competently serve and promote the interests of the State of Niger. The recipients had absolutely no need to satisfy specific conditions or requirements to perform their duties in accordance with the training they received.

What is the situation now? It would be difficult to understand or even picture the chimerical reality of these state executives who have no professional future. No explanation, much less a statistic, could explain the predestination to unemployment—selective or general depending on the field—of students at the ENAM, which has become the ENA (École Nationale d’Administration / National School of Administration).
Let's take the case of Customs as an example. First, an entrance examination for the ENA in this field is required for every applicant. Subsequently, each year, the students must demonstrate ingenuity not only to pass their exams but also to show practical skill while maintaining exemplary silence in the face of unequal treatment between direct entrants (graduates) and professionals (customs officers) in terms of both education and career progression. Upon graduation from the ENA, only one alternative remains for the graduates. They may serve as an *aide" (Valet) in a customs office following an assignment for civil service, or, still with the status of an aide, serve following an internal memo issued by the head of a customs office that grants the unemployed graduates volunteer status.

Under all circumstances, the best way to be considered is to adopt a behavior of total submission, not only at the school towards the professional customs officers (classmates) but also towards superiors, hoping to see one's name on the future list of admitted candidates for potential future integration competitions into the customs corps. Competitions which, incidentally, are not exclusively for the graduates—not at all. Professional customs officers also participate and naturally have their regular number of admitted candidates. Not only are customs integration competitions organized by customs officers, but they are also open to them. It is common to find parents, work colleagues, friends, and family members (brothers and sisters) serving as jury members, candidates, and/or supervisors during the customs integration competitions.
In 2018, a series of decrees offered more than a hundred Inspector positions (without customs training) in the customs administration. However, this series of decisions could have recruited all the Inspector graduates from the ENA in Niger's customs field. Finally, from 2016 until today, no competition specifically dedicated to customs graduates in Niger has been launched. We are therefore entitled to conclude that, in Niger, anything is possible.
