The Digest:

The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire, and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has announced an indefinite postponement of the portal opening for shortlisted candidates to complete their physical screening for the 2025 recruitment exercise. According to a statement from the Board's Secretary, the portal, initially set to open December 1-3, will now open "as soon as possible," leaving thousands of applicants in a state of suspended anticipation.

Key Points:
  • The CDCFIB has postponed the opening of its recruitment portal for physical screening verification.
  • The portal was initially scheduled to be open from December 1 to December 3, 2025.
  • No new specific date was provided; it will open "as soon as possible."
  • Shortlisted candidates are directed to check the official portal (recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng) for updates.
  • The Board apologized for any inconvenience caused by the postponement.
  • This phase is to verify the identity, documents, and physical fitness of candidates.
  • The recruitment covers the Immigration, Correctional Service, Fire Service, and NSCDC.
For many seeking stable employment, this delay extends a season of waiting, a reminder that the path to securing a foothold is often subject to administrative storms beyond one's control.
