Recruitment: CDCFIB Dumps CBT, Announces Dates For Online Test

The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has announced that its recruitment portal will officially close on Friday, November 7, 2025, while shortlisted applicants are to prepare for an online test scheduled to hold between Wednesday, November 12 and Wednesday, November 19, 2025.

In a statement signed by Maj. Gen. (Rtd.) A.M. Jibril, Secretary of the Board, and dated November 4, 2025, the CDCFIB said all recruitment tests will now be conducted exclusively online, marking a departure from the traditional computer-based test (CBT).

“Applicants are to note that the test will be conducted exclusively online. Accordingly, all previously allocated CBT centres are discontinued,” the statement read.

According to the board, applicants who had earlier updated their profiles with physical CBT centres are required to revisit the recruitment portal at recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng to select a new online CBT date and time. The link for the online test is expected to be published on Tuesday, November 11, 2025.

The CDCFIB also advised all shortlisted candidates to ensure they have a stable internet connection and necessary digital devices to take the online test successfully.

“Applicants are to ensure they have a stable internet connection, necessary devices to take the online test, as well as carefully follow the instructions on the examination slip to avoid disqualification,” the board emphasised.

The statement reaffirmed the board’s commitment to transparency, fairness, and efficiency in its ongoing recruitment process.

“The Board wishes to inform the general public that it remains committed to a smooth and transparent recruitment process,” Maj. Gen. Jibril added.
