The Federal Government has released the names of candidates who passed the Online Computer-Based Test (CBT) for recruitment into the paramilitary that took place last November.
The list of successful applicants was released through the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB).
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the agencies recruiting include the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), the Federal Fire Service (FFS), the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), and the CDCFIB.
The Secretary to the board, retired Maj.-Gen. Abdulmalik Jibril, announced the development in a statement on Sunday in Abuja.
Jibril disclosed that successful applicants for the 2024/2025 paramilitary recruitment exercise would now proceed to the next stage of the exercise, which was physical screening and document verification.
According to him, applicants who took part in the online CBT held in November 2025, are to access the board’s official recruitment portal between June 15 and 20, to verify their status.
“Applicants are required to log in using the application number generated at the time of initial registration.”
“Shortlisted applicants are required to upload their credentials, select a date and venue of their choice for physical screening.”
The CDCFIB secretary implored applicants to carefully follow all instructions outlined on the portal.
He noted that the recruitment exercise remained absolutely free, hence, no money should be paid by applicants to any individual, agent, group or organisation claiming to render assistance with shortlisting, venue allocation, document upload, access to screening venue or final selection.
“The general public is advised to ignore fake recruitment messages, fraudulent links and unauthorised persons claiming to represent the board.
“Kindly note that all official updates shall be communicated through the CDCFIB recruitment portal, as well as approved official communication channels,” he said.
Jibril reassured Nigerians of the board’s commitment to ensuring that the exercise was conducted transparently, credibly, and merit-based in consonance with extant rules guiding recruitment processes. (NAN)
