The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has officially extended the closing date for applications into the paramilitary services by one week, moving the deadline from Monday, August 4, 2025, to Monday, August 11, 2025.
The announcement, made via a statement dated August 3, 2025, and signed by Maj. Gen. (Rtd.) A. M. Jibril, Secretary to the Board, is aimed at offering additional time and opportunity for eligible applicants seeking to join any of the agencies under CDCFIB.
“This extension is geared towards providing additional opportunity for applicants willing to be enlisted into any of the Paramilitary Services as well as the Board,” the statement read.
Applicants are advised to continue submitting their applications through the official recruitment portal at https://recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng.
The Board further emphasized that the recruitment process remains free of charge, and cautioned the public to beware of fraudulent platforms and intermediaries promising employment slots for a fee.
