About the CDCFIB Recruitments
The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) launched its 2025 nationwide recruitment exercise on July 14, 2025, for vacancies across four federal paramilitary agencies. The application portal remained open until August 11, 2025, attracting more than 1.9 million applications from Nigerians seeking employment in the security and public safety sector.
Following the application phase, the Board screened submissions and reviewed candidates’ eligibility. According to the recruitment overview released by CDCFIB, over 1.1 million applications were successfully completed, while others were either incomplete or disqualified for failing to meet the requirements.
The next stage of the exercise was the Computer-Based Test (CBT), which was conducted nationwide between November 12 and November 19, 2025. Thousands of candidates participated in the examination as part of the Board’s effort to identify qualified applicants for the available positions.
After the CBT stage, the Board began evaluating examination results and candidate records before releasing the list of successful applicants eligible for the next phase of the recruitment exercise.
In its latest update, CDCFIB announced the commencement of physical screening and document verification for candidates who successfully passed the CBT stage. Applicants who participated in the examination have been directed to check their status through the official recruitment portal and follow the instructions provided for the screening exercise.
The ongoing recruitment exercise is aimed at filling vacancies in four paramilitary agencies under the Board’s supervision, namely the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Nigeria Correctional Service, Federal Fire Service, and Nigeria Immigration Service.
The CDCFIB reiterated that the recruitment process remains free, transparent and merit-based, cautioning candidates against fraudsters and individuals demanding money for shortlisting, document uploads, screening venue allocation, or final selection.
Applicants were advised to disregard unofficial messages, fake recruitment notices, and fraudulent links circulating online, stressing that all genuine information regarding the exercise will only be communicated through the official CDCFIB recruitment portal and approved communication channels.
Candidates who expect to participate in the screening exercise have also been encouraged to begin assembling their original credentials and other relevant documents ahead of the verification process. The Board expressed confidence that the exercise would be conducted in line with established recruitment guidelines to ensure fairness and equal opportunity for all qualified applicants.
