The Secretary to the Board, Maj. Gen. (Rtd) A.M. Jibril made this known in a statement issued on Sunday, August 3, 2025.

The recruitment portal, originally scheduled to close on Monday, August 4, 2025, will now remain open until Monday, 11th August 2025.
As reported by Nigerian Tribune, Jibril reminded applicants that the official application portal remains “https://recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng”
The Board emphasised that the recruitment process is “free of charge” and will be conducted in a “fair and transparent” manner.
According to the release, “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.”
Legit reports that CDCFIB oversees four paramilitary agencies: the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), the Nigerian Correctional Service, the Federal Fire Service, and the Nigeria Immigration Service.
The CDCFIB is the governing body that manages recruitment, appointments, and disciplinary matters within these four services.
