Nigerians react as CDCFIB gives recruitment update
However, the announcement has started generating reactions from concerned Nigerians. Below are some of their comments:
Neenoh said the government is releasing the update because of the ongoing protests across the country:
"Every time the country is about to go into protest, the government will release a recruitment update. The same pattern happened last year when there’s end bad governance protests; we began to see recruitment from NNPC and CBN. The government are trying to deflect attention."
Abdulaziz Ibn Abdullahi criticised the government and alleged that the exercise has been politicised:
"After sharing the slots, you still want to suffer the children of the commoners. It's Allah that will judge you for your betrayal, and your end will be regret."

"This shows how incompetent these para-military organisations in Nigeria are. In the year 2026, which is 2 years after, you are yet to complete a recruitment exercise you started in 2024/2025... Una no dey shame at all!"
Emmanuel Ken expressed the optimism of being shortlisted and moving to the next stage:
"Omo na wow una too de play with people o, somehow good news if it true this time my exam number still dey I pray I'm shortlisted."
Àlàbí Abdulwaheed Adéshínà spotted error in the press statement:
"Observation CDCFIB, but 20th of June, 2026 is Saturday, so why Friday? Hope this thing is not another fake stuff aha!"
