According to the statement, “Candidates who applied for the FFS recruitment can now visit the Board’s portal at cdcfib.career from Monday, December 9, 2024, to check their status and print their invitation letters.

“The final documentation process for successful candidates will take place at the Lt. Gen. Abdulrahman Bello Dambazau Conference Center, Nigerian Correctional Service National Headquarters in Abuja, between December 9 and 21, 2024. Applicants are required to wear white tops and shorts, and bring both originals and photocopies of their credentials.

“The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board wishes to notify candidates who applied for recruitment into the Federal Fire Service (FFS) to visit the Board’s portal at cdcfib.career from Monday 9th December 2024, to check if they were successful in the final stage of the recruitment exercise and proceed to print their invitation letter,” the statement read in part.
