The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board has commenced the next phase of its recruitment exercise, with successful applicants now required to undergo physical screening and verification of their credentials.
The development concerns candidates who took part in the Computer-Based Test conducted in November 2025 as part of the 2024/2025 recruitment exercise for four paramilitary agencies.
The board, in a statement issued on Friday by its Secretary, Maj Gen Abdulmalik Jibril (retd.), directed applicants to visit its recruitment portal to determine whether they had been shortlisted.
According to the statement, shortlisted candidates are expected to log in with the application number generated during their initial registration and follow the instructions provided on the platform.
The board said successful applicants would be required to upload their credentials and choose a convenient date and venue for the physical screening.
It urged candidates to exercise caution and rely only on information published through its official recruitment platform throughout the exercise.
The CDCFIB also warned applicants against individuals or organisations demanding money in exchange for recruitment assistance.
It said the exercise was free and that no payment should be made for shortlisting, venue selection, document uploads, access to screening centres or final recruitment.
The board further cautioned applicants and members of the public to disregard fraudulent messages, fake links and individuals falsely presenting themselves as its representatives.
It reaffirmed its commitment to conducting the recruitment in line with the principles of transparency, merit, federal character and due process.
The exercise covers recruitment into the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Nigeria Immigration Service, Nigerian Correctional Service and Federal Fire Service.
The recruitment process commenced with online applications in July 2025, followed by the Computer-Based Test in November of the same year.
The latest development comes after the board announced that it was working towards concluding the long-running exercise within four weeks.
The board had explained that although it was determined to complete the process, it would not sacrifice fairness, merit, federal character or due process in an attempt to meet a deadline.
It said the remaining stages would be completed within the four-week period while ensuring that the operational needs of the four services were also taken into consideration.
