The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire, and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has officially closed its recruitment portal.

This marks the conclusion of the application phase for individuals seeking to join Nigeria’s paramilitary agencies, including the Federal Fire Service.

The board announced this via the official X handle of the Federal Fire Service on Monday.

In a statement, the CDCFIB thanked all applicants for their enthusiasm and commitment to serving the nation.

“The official recruitment portal for the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board is now closed. We thank all applicants for their interest and commitment to serving with honour, integrity and national pride,” the statement read in part.

It added that the shortlisted candidates will be contacted shortly. Applicants have been advised to monitor their email and text messages over the coming weeks for notifications.

“We also encourage you to regularly check the portal and social media handles for important updates,” it concluded.

The application portal was opened on July 14. Initially scheduled to commence on June 26 and close on August 4, the board extended the deadline to provide interested applicants additional opportunity to be enlisted in any of their desired paramilitary services.
