Board Releases Successful Immigration, NSCDC, Fire Service Applicants

The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has released the list of successful candidates who participated in the November 2025 Online Computer-Based Test (CBT) for the ongoing 2024/2025 paramilitary recruitment exercise.

According to a statement issued in Abuja on Saturday by the Board Secretary, retired Maj.-Gen. Abdulmalik Jibril, successful applicants across the participating agencies are now expected to proceed to the next stage of the exercise, which is physical screening and document verification.

The recruitment covers four major paramilitary agencies under the board, including the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Federal Fire Service (FFS), and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS).

Applicants who took part in the CBT are to check their status on the official CDCFIB recruitment portal between June 15 and June 20, the Board announced.

Candidates are required to log in using the application number generated during registration to confirm whether they have been shortlisted for the next stage of the recruitment process.

Shortlisted applicants will also be required to upload their credentials and select preferred dates and venues for their physical screening and document verification exercise, in line with instructions provided on the portal.

The Board advised all applicants to carefully follow every guideline issued on the portal to avoid mistakes that could affect their eligibility or progression in the recruitment exercise.

According to CDCFIB, successful candidates will proceed to the physical screening stage, where their documents, identity, and eligibility details will be thoroughly verified before final selection.

Officials explained that this stage is critical in determining final qualification into the various paramilitary services, as only candidates who meet all requirements will advance.

Applicants were urged to ensure that all submitted documents are authentic, accurate, and properly uploaded, warning that inconsistencies could lead to disqualification.

The CDCFIB also reiterated that the entire paramilitary recruitment exercise remains completely free of charge, warning applicants against fraudsters demanding payment at any stage of the process.

It stressed that no individual, agent, consultant, or organisation has been authorised to collect money for shortlisting, venue allocation, or final selection.

“The recruitment exercise remains absolutely free. Applicants should not pay money to anyone claiming to assist with the process,” the statement warned.

The Board further advised candidates to ignore fake messages, fraudulent links, and unofficial social media accounts spreading false recruitment information.

It emphasised that all official updates on the CDCFIB recruitment process will be communicated strictly through the official recruitment portal and approved communication channels.

Applicants were urged to rely only on verified sources to avoid falling victim to scams targeting job seekers during the recruitment exercise.

Finally, Board Secretary Maj.-Gen. Abdulmalik Jibril reaffirmed CDCFIB’s commitment to ensuring a transparent, credible, and merit-based recruitment process in line with public service rules.

He added that the exercise is designed to ensure fairness across all participating agencies, including the NSCDC, Immigration Service, Fire Service, and Correctional Service.
