The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has announced the release of the long-awaited shortlist for applicants who participated in the 2024/2025 recruitment exercise into the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Federal Fire Service (FFS) and Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS).
The Board also released specific dates for shortlisted candidates to check their recruitment status and prepare for the next stage of the exercise, which includes an oral interview.
In an official statement signed by the Secretary of the Board, Maj.-Gen. A. M. Jibril (rtd.), the CDCFIB said the screening and shortlisting exercise conducted after the physical and medical evaluations had been concluded.
When Applicants Should Check Their Status
The Board directed candidates to visit the official recruitment portal, recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng, to confirm their status according to their academic qualifications.
The schedule is as follows:
– Graduate Applicants: August 31 to September 2, 2026.
– NCE, OND and SSCE Applicants: September 7 to September 9, 2026.
Applicants are advised to use only the official recruitment portal when checking their status and obtaining further information concerning the next stage of the exercise.
CDCFIB Warns Against Fraudsters
The Board issued a strong warning to applicants against individuals demanding money in connection with the recruitment exercise.
According to the CDCFIB, candidates should not make any payment to anyone claiming to have the power to influence their selection or appointment.
The Board urged applicants who encounter extortion attempts or suspicious demands for money to report such cases to the appropriate authorities.
Official Communication Through Portal
The CDCFIB further clarified that all official information concerning the recruitment exercise will be communicated through its designated web portal.
Applicants were therefore advised not to rely on messages or purported recruitment information circulated through unofficial channels, including emails.
The latest announcement is expected to provide clarity to thousands of Nigerians who have been waiting for the outcome of the recruitment screening and the commencement of the next phase of the process.
