FG Postpones Civil Defence, Immigration Jobs Recruitment to July

The Federal Government has moved the starting date for recruitment into its paramilitary agencies from June 26 to July 14, 2025.

The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB), the body responsible for managing the recruitment process, announced this update late Wednesday.

According to the CDCFIB, the application portal will now open on Monday, July 14, 2025, instead of the previously announced Thursday, June 26, 2025.

The new official recruitment website for applicants is:
recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng

The statement read: “The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB), wishes to notify the general public that its recruitment portal which was earlier slated to open on Thursday 26th June, 2025, will now open on Monday 14th July, 2025.”

“Also, the Board’s portal address for prospective applicants desiring to apply into the Service of their choice, is now: recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng.”

“Applicants are kindly requested to take note of the above changes as well as be reminded that all applications are free and do not attract any payment.”

The board apologised for the inconvenience the shift in date may have caused applicants.

Recruitment Covers Civil Defence, Immigration, and Fire Services

Earlier in the week, the board had announced the beginning of fresh recruitment into four paramilitary agencies. These include:

• Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC)
• Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS)
• Federal Fire Service
• Nigerian Correctional Service

Interested candidates must submit their applications only through the official portal when it opens on July 14.

Applicants were warned to beware of fraudsters and reminded that the application process is completely free.

The CDCFIB restated its commitment to fairness and transparency in the recruitment exercise.
