CDCFIB Recruitment Portal 2025 to Reopen for Shortlist and CBT Examination

Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire, and Immigration Services Board Gives New Recruitment Update

The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire, and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has announced that its official recruitment portal is currently closed. However, this closure is temporary. The Board has confirmed that the portal will reopen later this week to allow applicants to check whether they have been shortlisted for the next phase of the recruitment process.

When reopened, candidates will be able to view their Computer-Based Test (CBT) examination details, including their assigned centers, exam dates, and time schedules. The upcoming CBT phase is a crucial part of the CDCFIB recruitment process for 2025, covering agencies such as the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), the Federal Fire Service (FFS), and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS).

Official Statement and Candidate Advisory

The CDCFIB has urged all applicants to remain calm and patient while the portal undergoes updates and maintenance. According to the Board, no applicant will miss out on important information as long as they monitor the official website regularly.

Candidates should note that no individual or external organization has the authority to influence shortlisting or examination outcomes. The entire recruitment process is handled directly by the CDCFIB in partnership with relevant government bodies to ensure transparency and fairness.

Applicants are also reminded to check their email inboxes and SMS notifications regularly, as official updates or examination invitations may also be communicated through these channels.

Avoid Fraud and Fake Recruitment Portals

The Board has issued a strong warning to all candidates about the increasing number of fraudulent websites and social media pages pretending to represent the CDCFIB. Applicants are advised to be extremely careful and avoid sharing their personal details or making any form of payment to individuals claiming to offer help with recruitment or shortlisting.

The only authentic and approved website for all CDCFIB recruitment activities remains:

https://recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng

Any website or social media account outside this domain should be ignored. The Board emphasized that the recruitment process is completely free of charge, and any request for payment should be treated as a scam attempt.

What Applicants Should Expect When the Portal Reopens

Once the CDCFIB recruitment portal is back online, candidates will have access to the following features and updates:

1. Shortlist Status: Applicants will be able to confirm if their names appear on the shortlist for the CBT examination.
2. Exam Centre Details: Each shortlisted candidate will see the name and address of their designated examination centre.
3. Exam Date and Time: The platform will provide information about the scheduled date and time for each candidate’s CBT session.
4. Downloadable Documents: Candidates may be required to print their examination invitation slips or identity verification letters directly from the portal.
5. Additional Notices: The Board may publish further instructions about acceptable items, dress codes, and general exam conduct.

To ensure smooth access when the portal reopens, candidates are advised to have their application reference number, email address, and registered phone number readily available.

Steps to Stay Informed and Prepared

To avoid missing any future update or examination notification, applicants are encouraged to take the following steps:

• Visit the official CDCFIB portal regularly for the latest news and announcements.
• Follow the verified social media accounts of the NSCDC, NIS, FFS, and NCoS.
• Subscribe to reliable Nigerian news platforms that publish verified government recruitment updates.
• Avoid clicking on random recruitment advertisements or unknown web links shared across WhatsApp and Facebook groups.
• Keep their contact details, especially phone number and email, active and up to date.

The Importance of the CDCFIB Recruitment Exercise

The CDCFIB recruitment exercise is part of the Federal Government’s ongoing effort to strengthen internal security and enhance public service delivery through well-trained and dedicated personnel. Successful candidates will play vital roles in areas such as border protection, correctional reform, firefighting, and civil defence operations across Nigeria.

The Board aims to ensure that only qualified and committed individuals are selected to serve, in line with the national vision for safety, discipline, and professionalism.

Final Advice to Applicants

As anticipation grows for the reopening of the CDCFIB portal, applicants are reminded to stay patient, remain focused, and trust only verified information sources. The recruitment process will proceed in phases, and all eligible applicants will have the opportunity to participate in the CBT stage once the official shortlist is published.

The CDCFIB encourages everyone to prepare ahead by reviewing relevant subjects and ensuring readiness for the upcoming computer-based test. This exercise marks a significant step toward building a stronger and more efficient workforce for Nigeria’s internal security and emergency management agencies.

Stay tuned for official updates on the CDCFIB recruitment portal as the next phase begins soon.
