Immigration, NSCDC, others resume 2025 recruitment exercise

The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has officially resumed its 2025 recruitment exercise after a brief suspension caused by technical upgrades on its application portal.

In a public notice released on Sunday, July 20th, the board announced that the recruitment portal will be reopened starting Monday, July 21st, 2025.

Applicants who had previously begun the application process are urged to revisit the portal and complete their submissions. The CDCFIB emphasized that the temporary halt was necessary to enhance the platform’s performance and ensure a smoother application experience.

“Kindly be informed that applicants who have successfully initiated their applications are advised to retrieve their applications and complete their applications they have initiated.”

The board explained that the suspension of the application portal was necessary due to the high number of submissions, which made it essential to enhance the system’s capacity.

“We sincerely apologize for the interruption in the application submission process. Due to the high volume of applications, it was necessary to enhance the system to ensure it can accommodate all applicants, thereby facilitating a seamless, transparent, and equitable recruitment process.”

CDCFIB emphasised that the recruitment process remains entirely free and warned applicants to avoid unofficial channels.

“Applicants should note that this application is absolutely free at all stages,” the notice added.

The board directed all applicants to resume the process via its official portal: https://recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng.
