Good news for all applicants waiting for the 2025 CDCFIB Recruitment Shortlist! The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire, and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) is set to release the list of shortlisted candidates this week. If you applied for positions under the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Federal Fire Service (FFS), or Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), it’s time to stay alert and prepare to check your status on the official portal.

This article explains how to check the shortlist, what to do next, and how to avoid common scams during this important phase of the recruitment process.

Where to Check the CDCFIB Recruitment Shortlist 2025

All applicants are advised to check their status only on the official CDCFIB portal via recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng.
This is the only authorized platform where the shortlist, examination schedules, and venue details will be published.

Avoid any third-party websites, social media pages, or individuals claiming to offer shortcuts or access to the list — the CDCFIB recruitment process is 100% free and merit-based.

How to Check if You’re Shortlisted

Once the CDCFIB Recruitment Shortlist 2025 is officially released, follow these steps:

Visit recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng.
Click on the “Check Shortlist” or “Check Application Status” button.
Enter your Application Number or Email Address used during registration.
Click Submit to view your status.
If shortlisted, print your invitation slip containing details of your CBT exam center, date, and time.

If your name doesn’t appear, don’t panic — additional batches or updates might still be released later. Always stay tuned to official communication channels for new announcements.

What Happens After Shortlisting

Being shortlisted means you have successfully passed the initial screening stage. The next phase is the Computer-Based Test (CBT). Here’s what you should expect:

The test will include 100 multiple-choice questions covering Current Affairs, General Knowledge, and agency-specific topics.
The exam is fully computer-based, meaning no paper or manual submissions.
Candidates are expected to arrive early at their designated CBT centers with valid identification (National ID, Voter’s Card, or Driver’s License).

Avoid Fake News and Fraudulent Links

Every recruitment cycle comes with a rise in misinformation and fake websites trying to exploit unsuspecting applicants. Remember:

CDCFIB does not charge any fee for shortlisting, examination, or training.
Do not share your application details or login credentials with anyone.
Always confirm announcements directly from the official CDCFIB website or verified government press releases.

You can also cross-check updates through reliable platforms like Premium Times Nigeria or The Guardian Nigeria.

Important Documents to Prepare Before the CBT

If your name appears on the shortlist, ensure the following items are ready before the test date:

Printed invitation slip (from the official portal)
Valid ID card (NIN, Driver’s License, International Passport, or Voter’s Card)
Writing materials (in case of rough notes)
Original application documents for verification purposes

Having these ready early helps you avoid last-minute stress or disqualification at the exam venue.

What to Do If You’re Not Shortlisted

If you’re not shortlisted in the first batch, it’s not the end. CDCFIB often releases the list in phases. Keep checking the official portal regularly for updates. In the meantime, continue improving your knowledge and stay ready for future opportunities in agencies like the NSCDC, FFS, or NIS.
