“The Board remains firmly committed to a transparent, seamless and completely free recruitment process at no financial cost to applicants,” said Okeh Juliet, Head of Press and Public Relations at CDCFIB.
Legit.ng reports that the CDCFIB is the governing body that manages recruitment, appointments, and disciplinary matters within these four services.
The CDCFIB oversees four paramilitary agencies: the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), the Nigerian Correctional Service, the Federal Fire Service, and the Nigeria Immigration Service.

The CDCFIB further assured that it will continue to attract the most qualified candidates for Nigeria’s paramilitary services while safeguarding them from scams and fraudulent activities.

“All candidates are therefore encouraged to stay informed, remain vigilant, and report any demand for payment or suspicious activity to the nearest security agency for prompt action,” the CDCFIB advised.
Recruitment: CDCFIB releases new notice to applicants
Recall that the CDCFIB directed 2025 recruitment applicants who applied before the portal upgrade to verify and resubmit their information. Only applications submitted before the upgrade are valid on the portal; new entries are not accepted and may override previous records.
The Board assures a fair recruitment process and urges applicants to follow official updates for further instructions.
Civil service recruitment: FG begins shortlisting of candidates
