The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has reopened its online recruitment portal.
Last week, the board had announced a pause in recruitment for the four paramilitary agencies due to technical issues with the portal.
In an update on Monday, the CDCFIB confirmed that the portal is now fully operational and apologised for the disruption in the application process.
The agency noted that the temporary closure was essential to improve its system’s capability to manage the high volume of applications.
Additionally, the organisation encouraged applicants who started their applications to retrieve and finish them 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 further assured applicants that it is working to rectify issues regarding 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,” the statement added.
