The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has officially closed its 2025 recruitment portal after receiving an overwhelming number of applications. The next phase—candidate shortlisting—has begun, and applicants are advised to stay alert for the upcoming list of qualified candidates.
The CDCFIB Recruitment 2025 Portal Launch
On Monday, 14th July 2025, the CDCFIB officially opened its recruitment portal at recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng for interested applicants across Nigeria. The exercise aimed to fill vital roles within the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Nigeria Correctional Service, Federal Fire Service, and Nigeria Immigration Service.
By 11th August 2025, the Board reported receiving a record 1,914,349 applications, demonstrating the high level of public interest and confidence in the recruitment process. Following this milestone, the portal was closed to allow the board to move to the next critical stage—shortlisting qualified candidates.
What Happens After the Portal Closure
With the application window officially closed, the shortlisting process is now underway. This stage involves:
- Reviewing all submitted applications.
- Checking eligibility criteria such as educational qualifications, age limits, and experience.
- Identifying candidates who meet the Board’s predetermined selection requirements.
The outcome of this review will create a shortlist of successful applicants who will proceed to the next stage, which may include aptitude tests, physical screening, and document verification.
Applicants are urged not to panic or fall for fraudulent messages claiming to offer preferential selection. All updates will be officially released through the verified portal at recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng or announced via national media.
