The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has released the names of successful candidates who participated in the November 2025 Computer-Based Test (CBT) for its ongoing 2024/2025 paramilitary recruitment exercise.
The announcement was made in a statement issued on Saturday in Abuja by the Secretary to the Board, retired Major-General Abdulmalik Jibril.
According to the statement, candidates who successfully passed the CBT stage are to proceed to the next phase of the recruitment process, which includes physical screening and document verification.
The recruitment exercise covers key paramilitary agencies under the board, including the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), Federal Fire Service (FFS), Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), and the CDCFIB.
Jibril disclosed that applicants who sat for the CBT in November 2025 are required to visit the board’s official recruitment portal between June 15 and June 20 to confirm their application status.
“Applicants are required to log in using the application number generated at the time of initial registration,” he stated.
He further explained that shortlisted candidates must upload their credentials and select a preferred date and venue for the physical screening exercise through the portal.
The CDCFIB secretary urged all applicants to carefully adhere to the instructions provided on the recruitment platform to avoid disqualification.
Reiterating the board’s stance on transparency, Jibril emphasized that the recruitment process is entirely free of charge and warned applicants against falling victim to fraudsters.
“The recruitment exercise remains absolutely free. Applicants should not pay any money to individuals or groups claiming to assist with shortlisting, screening venue allocation, document upload, or final selection,” he cautioned.
He also advised members of the public to disregard fake recruitment messages, fraudulent websites, and unauthorized agents posing as representatives of the board.
“All official updates regarding the recruitment process will be communicated solely through the CDCFIB recruitment portal and approved official channels,” he added.
Jibril reassured Nigerians that the board remains committed to conducting a transparent, credible, and merit-based recruitment process in line with established guidelines and best practices.
The announcement has sparked reactions among applicants nationwide, many of whom have taken to social media to express anticipation and anxiety ahead of the screening stage.
Security analysts have described the recruitment exercise as critical to strengthening the operational capacity of Nigeria’s paramilitary services amid ongoing security challenges across the country.
As the screening phase approaches, successful candidates are advised to prepare all required documents and ensure strict compliance with guidelines to enhance their chances of final selection.
