The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board has postponed the opening of its portal for shortlisted candidates to attend physical screening and document verification for the 2025 recruitment.
The online portal was originally slated to be opened to the public from Monday, December 1, and would have remained open until Wednesday, December 3, but this plan has now been put on hold.
The board, in a statement signed by its Secretary, Maj. Gen. (Rtd) A.M Jibril, and posted on X on Monday night, said the portal “will now be open as soon as possible.”
The statement urged shortlisted candidates to check the official recruitment portal, “recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng” for updates on the new opening date.
The CDCFIB apologises for any inconvenience caused and appreciates the interest of applicants in the recruitment exercise.
“Further announcements will be made on the official portal and social media handles,” it stated.
Following the completion of the computer-based tests last month, the board had announced that shortlisted candidates for physical screening and document verification would be released starting December 1.
According to the board, the physical verification phase remains a critical stage of the recruitment process, during which applicants’ identities, documents and physical fitness will be authenticated before they proceed to the final stage of selection.
The recruitment is for the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS), Federal Fire Service (FFS), and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
