HOW TO APPLY: Board Reopens Recruitment Portal for Civil Defence, Immigration, Other Services
The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has officially reopened its recruitment portal following a temporary suspension caused by technical difficulties.
In a statement released on Monday, the board confirmed that the issues affecting the recruitment platform have been fully resolved and apologized to applicants for the inconvenience.
“We sincerely apologize for the interruption in the application process. Due to the overwhelming volume of submissions, we had to upgrade the portal to enhance its performance and ensure a seamless, transparent, and equitable recruitment process,” the statement read.
The recruitment exercise covers four key paramilitary agencies under the board’s supervision: the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS), Federal Fire Service (FFS), and the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS).
