The Federal Government has announced the postponement of the recruitment process into key paramilitary agencies under the Ministry of Interior, originally scheduled to commence on June 26, 2025.
In a statement released on Wednesday night by the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB), the government disclosed that the recruitment portal will now open on Monday, July 14, 2025—nearly three weeks later than initially planned.
“The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB), wishes to notify the general public that its recruitment portal which was earlier slated to open on Thursday 26th June, 2025, will now open on Monday 14th July, 2025,” the statement read.
The Board also updated the recruitment website for prospective applicants, stating:
“Also, the Board’s portal address for prospective applicants desiring to apply into the Service of their choice, is now: recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng.”
Applicants were further reminded that the recruitment process is entirely free of charge and should not involve any form of payment.
“Applicants are kindly requested to take note of the above changes as well as be reminded that all applications are free and do not attract any payment,” the Board emphasized.
The CDCFIB apologized for any inconvenience caused by the rescheduling and urged the public to remain patient and vigilant.
Earlier in the week, the Board had announced the commencement of recruitment into the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), the Federal Fire Service, and the Nigerian Correctional Service.
