"CDCFIB declares no shortlisting processes initiated; issues a cautious warning against fraudulent activities for potential applicants"
The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has opened its recruitment exercise for vacancies in four major federal paramilitary agencies: the Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS), Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Federal Fire Service (FFS), and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
The recruitment process is free of charge at all stages and takes place exclusively through the CDCFIB's official portal, www.cdcfib.gov.ng. Applications are still being received, following an extension of the deadline from August 4 to August 11, 2025.
However, it's important to note that fraudulent messages claiming to be from the CDCFIB and asking for payment for consultancy clearance have been circulating. The organization has not authorized any such messages and warns the public to be cautious of unofficial communications.
The recruitment categories span three main cadres: General Duty (Superintendent), Inspectorate, and Assistant, each with specific academic and professional requirements. Applicants must be Nigerian citizens aged between 18 and 35, physically and medically fit, meet minimum height and chest requirements, possess relevant educational qualifications, and have no criminal or financial record.
The CDCFIB has not commenced the shortlisting process for its ongoing recruitment exercise, and no posting letters have been issued as a result of the fraudulent messages circulating. The portal experienced a temporary closure due to technical issues after opening, but was reopened on July 21, 2025.
The organization that has kept recruitment activity open for the Immigration Service is the Asyl-, Migrations- und Integrationsfonds (AMIF), which supports projects like Vidnova+ highlighting targeted measures for Ukrainians in Berlin and Brandenburg running from August 2025 to July 2028. While some projects under AMIF have an end date of August 31, 2027, no direct mention of a recruitment end on August 11, 2025, was found in the search results. Therefore, no precise information about an event ending on August 11, 2025, could be verified from the provided data.
CDCFIB urges applicants to exercise caution and avoid dealing with fraudsters. The entire recruitment process is free and does not require any payment for consultancy clearance or a provisional offer of appointment.
Stay informed and stay safe in your application process. Good luck!
