The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has reopened its online recruitment portal after a temporary suspension caused by technical difficulties.
In a statement issued on Monday, the board confirmed that the portal would be accessible from 21 July 2025. The suspension, which was announced last week, had affected recruitment processes across four major paramilitary agencies: the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Nigeria Fire Service (NFS), and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS).
According to the board, the temporary shutdown was necessary to enhance the system’s capacity to handle the large volume of applications received nationwide.
“We sincerely apologise for the disruption to the application process. Given the overwhelming number of submissions, it became essential to upgrade the system to support a smooth, transparent, and fair recruitment exercise,” the CDCFIB stated.
Applicants who had already begun their applications were urged to revisit the portal at https://recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng to retrieve and complete their submissions.
While acknowledging that some applicants are still experiencing issues—particularly concerning missing or unlisted local government areas (LGAs)—the board assured that corrective measures are underway.
“Candidates encountering difficulties due to omitted or unlisted LGAs should be assured that immediate efforts are being made to update the portal to accommodate all applicants,” it added.
The board reaffirmed its commitment to a fair and transparent recruitment process and expressed appreciation for the continued interest of young Nigerians in serving the nation.
