The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has officially announced the reopening of its recruitment portal, following a temporary suspension due to technical issues.
Previously, the board had paused the ongoing recruitment process for the four paramilitary agencies under its supervision after encountering significant glitches with the portal. However, in an update issued on Monday, the CDCFIB confirmed that the portal is now fully functional and extended its apologies for the disruptions faced by applicants.
“We sincerely apologize for the interruption in the application submission process. Due to the high volume of applications, it was necessary to enhance the system to ensure it can accommodate all applicants, thereby facilitating a seamless, transparent, and equitable recruitment process,” the statement reads.
The board explained that the temporary shutdown was crucial for upgrading its systems to handle the overwhelming number of applications and to ensure a smoother, fairer experience for all candidates. Those who had started their applications earlier are encouraged to revisit the portal and complete their submissions.
“Visit our portal address from the 21st of July 2025 at https://recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng,” (https://recruitment.cdcfib.gov.xn--ng,-9o0a) the board stated.
The CDCFIB also reassured the public of its commitment to a merit-based recruitment process, applauding the enthusiasm of Nigerians eager to serve their country through its security and emergency response agencies.
“We appreciate the enthusiasm and interest of young Nigerians to serve their country through these vital agencies and are committed to ensuring a fair and transparent recruitment process,” it said.
In response to complaints regarding local government areas missing from the selection menu on the portal, the board confirmed that corrective action is in progress.
“While some candidates are unable to proceed with applications due to missing or unlisted local government areas, CDCFIB assures that immediate action is currently being taken to rectify and make fresh inclusions into the portal for them,” the statement added.
