The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has announced the reopening of its recruitment portal.
The portal had been temporarily suspended last week due to technical glitches affecting recruitment into the four paramilitary services.
Providing an update on Monday, the CDCFIB confirmed that the portal is now fully operational and issued an apology for the disruption applicants faced.
The board explained that the temporary suspension was necessary to upgrade the system’s capacity to manage the large number of submissions.
It also advised applicants who had previously begun their applications to revisit the portal and complete the process starting today.
“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.
“Visit our portal address from the 21st July 2025 https://recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng.
“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.”
The board also gave assurances that steps are being taken to resolve the issue of missing or unlisted local government areas on the portal.
“While some candidates are unable to proceed with applications resulting from 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,” it said.
