The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has announced that the list of shortlisted candidates for the computer-based test (CBT) in the ongoing paramilitary recruitment exercise is now available.
The announcement was made in Abuja on Wednesday through a statement signed by the Board’s Secretary, retired Maj.-Gen. Abdulmalik Jubril.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, the exercise covers four paramilitary agencies — the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), the Federal Fire Service (FFS), and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
The statement advised applicants to visit the board’s official recruitment portal, https://recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng from Thursday to check their shortlisting status.
“From Thursday, October 30, 2025, candidates are to check if they have been shortlisted for the next stage of the exercise, as well as centres for the Computer-Based Test (CBT).
“Shortlisted candidates are further requested to take note of the venue, date, as well as time scheduled for the CBT,” the statement read.
The Board further warned applicants to avoid unofficial websites, stressing that the recruitment process is conducted only through the designated portal.
