The Federal Government has announced a temporary suspension of the recruitment application portal for key paramilitary agencies, including the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS), and the Federal Fire Service (FFS).
The portal, earlier scheduled to go live on Monday, July 14, 2025, will now open on Monday, July 21, 2025, according to a statement signed by Maj. Gen. Abdulmalik Jibrin, Secretary of the Board of the paramilitary agencies.
The suspension affects the official recruitment portal, https://recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng, which serves as the central platform for applications under the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB).
The government explained that the adjustment is aimed at ensuring a smooth, transparent, and fair recruitment process, adding that the overwhelming interest from young Nigerians underscores the strong desire to serve the country through these agencies.
