The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has released the names of successful applicants who took part in the November 2025 board and paramilitary recruitment online computer-based test (CBT).

Secretary to the board, retired Maj.-Gen. Abdulmalik Jibril announced this on Saturday in Abuja.

The agencies recruiting include the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), Federal Fire Service (FFS), Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), and the CDCFIB.

Mr Jibril announced that successful applicants for the 2024/2025 paramilitary recruitment exercise were to proceed to the next stage of physical screening and document verification.

According to him, applicants who took part in the online CBT held in November 2025 are to access the board’s official recruitment portal at https://recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng between June 15 and 20, to verify their status.

“Applicants are required to log in using the application number generated at the time of initial registration.

“Shortlisted applicants are required to upload their credentials, select a date and venue of their choice for physical screening,” he said.

The CDCFIB secretary advised applicants to carefully follow all instructions outlined on the portal.

He reiterated that the recruitment exercise remained absolutely free, adding that applicants should not pay any individual, agent, group, or organisation claiming to assist with shortlisting, venue allocation, document upload, access to the screening venue, or final selection.

“The general public is advised to ignore fake recruitment messages, fraudulent links and unauthorised persons claiming to represent the board.

“Kindly note that all official updates shall be communicated through the CDCFIB recruitment portal, as well as approved official communication channels,” he said.

Mr Jibril reassured Nigerians of the board’s commitment to conducting the exercise transparently, credibly, and on merit in line with extant rules guiding recruitment processes.
