The Federal Government has temporarily suspended the recruitment portal for four key paramilitary agencies: the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), the Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS), and the Federal Fire Service (FFS).
This was disclosed in a statement issued by the Secretary of the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB), Maj. Gen. Abdulmalik Jibrin (rtd), who noted that the recruitment portal — https://recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng — will now reopen on Monday, July 21, 2025.
The government had earlier scheduled the portal to go live on July 14 but said the temporary suspension is necessary to ensure a smooth, transparent, and fair recruitment process.
While apologizing for any inconvenience caused, the government expressed appreciation for the overwhelming interest shown by young Nigerians eager to serve the nation through the paramilitary agencies.
Applicants are advised to await further updates and prepare their credentials ahead of the new opening date.
