Applicants advised against bringing credentials for screening

The Board also warned candidates not to come with their credentials, stressing that document verification would not take place during the medical screening stage.

The notice added that any information circulating instructing applicants to wear a particular outfit or bring their credentials should be ignored, as such directives did not come from the Board.

Board urges candidates to rely on official updates

CDCFIB encouraged all applicants to follow only information shared through its authorised communication channels and wished candidates success in the screening exercise.

The clarification is expected to guide thousands of shortlisted applicants as they prepare for the medical assessment stage of the recruitment process into the Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS), Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Federal Fire Service (FFS), and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
