ABUJA — The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has officially released the shortlist of successful candidates for its recent nationwide recruitment exercise. The list covers applicants who applied for positions in the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCOS), Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Federal Fire Service (FFS), and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).

The announcement marks the next phase of the CDCFIB 2025 recruitment process, as shortlisted candidates are now expected to prepare for the upcoming Computer-Based Test (CBT) and screening exercises.

In a statement released on Wednesday night, the Secretary to the Board, Maj. Gen. A.M. Jibril (Rtd.), announced that all applicants can now check their recruitment status on the official CDCFIB portal — https://recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng
. According to the statement, the portal will be open from Thursday, October 30, 2025, for candidates to confirm whether they have been shortlisted for the next stage of the recruitment process.

Maj. Gen. Jibril further explained that the official recruitment portal will also display each shortlisted candidate’s Computer-Based Test (CBT) details, including the date, time, and examination venue.

He urged all applicants to strictly follow the information provided on the official CDCFIB website and ignore any messages or claims from unauthorized sources or third-party platforms posing as representatives of the Board.

The Secretary also cautioned applicants against fraudsters who may promise preferential treatment or assistance in exchange for money, emphasizing that the CDCFIB recruitment process is completely transparent and based on merit.

The ongoing recruitment exercise covers the four major paramilitary agencies under the Board’s supervision — the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Nigerian Correctional Service (NCOS), Federal Fire Service (FFS), and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) — as part of ongoing efforts to enhance national security and public safety across the country.
