Board Opens Portal For Civil Defence, Immigration, Others’ Recruitment Screening

The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board has opened its recruitment portal for the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) and Federal Fire Service (FFS), announcing the commencement of the next phase of its 2024/2025 recruitment exercise.

According to a statement from the board yesterday, applicants who participated in the computer-based test in November last year are to proceed to the next stage, which includes physical screening and document verification from next week.

The board in a statement signed by its secretary,  Maj. Gen. A. M. Jibril (rtd), advised candidates who participated in the CBT test  to log on to the official recruitment portal, https://recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng between Monday, June 15 and Friday, June 20, 2026, to confirm their status.

“Applicants are required to log in using the application number generated at the time of initial registration,” the statement said.

Those shortlisted will be required to upload their credentials on the portal and select their preferred date and venue for the physical screening exercise.

The board urged applicants to carefully follow all instructions provided on the portal, warning that failure to comply could lead to disqualification. The board warned against fraud, saying the entire recruitment process is completely free of charge.

“No fee should be paid by applicants to any individual, agent, group or organisation claiming to render assistance with shortlisting, venue allocation, document upload, access to screening venue, or final selection,” Maj. Gen. Jibril stated.

He cautioned against fake recruitment messages and fraudulent links circulating online, noting that all official updates would be communicated strictly through the recruitment portal and approved channels.

Reaffirming its commitment to a transparent, credible, and merit-based exercise, he said the recruitment process would be conducted in line with extant guidelines governing recruitment into the paramilitary services. Applicants were advised to prepare their original credentials ahead of the physical screening exercise.
