The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has announced the release of the shortlist for candidates who took part in its recent recruitment exercise into the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCOS), Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Federal Fire Service (FFS), and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).

In a statement issued on Wednesday night, the Secretary to the Board, Maj. Gen. A.M. Jibril (Rtd.), stated that applicants can check their application status on the official recruitment portal [https://recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng](https://recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng) — starting from Thursday, October 30, 2025.

He added that the portal will also display details of each shortlisted candidate’s Computer-Based Test (CBT), including the date, time, and venue.

Jibril advised all applicants to adhere strictly to the information provided on the official website and to disregard any unofficial messages or third-party platforms claiming to represent the Board.

He warned against falling prey to fraudsters promising preferential treatment, stressing that the recruitment process remains transparent and merit-based.

The ongoing exercise covers recruitment into the four key paramilitary agencies under the CDCFIB’s supervision, as part of efforts to strengthen national security and public safety.
