The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has officially opened its recruitment portal, allowing candidates who participated in the recruitment exercise to check their application status and verify their eligibility for the next stage of the process.
The board announced that applicants who sat for the Computer-Based Test (CBT) can now log into the official recruitment portal to confirm whether they have been shortlisted for physical screening and document verification.
The development affects applicants of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Federal Fire Service (FFS), and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS).
According to information released by the board, candidates are expected to access the portal between June 15 and June 20, 2026, to verify their details and check their recruitment status.
