The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has moved its 2024/2025 recruitment exercise for four paramilitary agencies to the physical screening and document verification stage.

The board announced that applicants who participated in the Computer-Based Test (CBT) conducted in November 2025 should check their recruitment status through the official recruitment portal.

In a statement signed by its Secretary, Maj Gen Abdulmalik Jibril (retd.), on Friday, the board said applicants should log on to the recruitment portal from Monday, June 15, to Friday, June 20, to verify whether they had been shortlisted.

According to the statement, shortlisted candidates are required to log in using the Application Number generated during their initial registration.

Successful applicants will then be required to upload their credentials and select a preferred date and venue for the physical screening.

The board urged applicants to carefully follow all instructions provided on the portal.

The CDCFIB warned applicants against paying money to individuals, agents or groups claiming to have influence over the recruitment process.

It stressed that the recruitment exercise is completely free, adding that no payment should be made for shortlisting, venue allocation, document upload, access to screening venues or final selection.

The board also urged the public to disregard fake recruitment messages, fraudulent links and unauthorised individuals claiming to represent the CDCFIB.

It said it remained committed to conducting the recruitment exercise in a transparent, credible and merit-based manner, in line with existing recruitment rules.

The exercise covers recruitment into the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) and Federal Fire Service (FFS).

The recruitment process began with online applications in July 2025, followed by the CBT in November 2025.

The board had previously stated that the exercise was in its final stages and would be completed within four weeks.

It also maintained that it would not rush the process at the expense of justice, merit, federal character, due process and the operational requirements of the four services.
