CDCFIB opens recruitment portal for paramilitary agencies

The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Board (CDCFIB) has officially called on qualified candidates to apply for full-time employment into various paramilitary agencies, with the application portal opening on Thursday.

This directive was contained in a statement issued by the Secretary to the board, retired Maj.-Gen. Abdulmalik Jubril, on Monday in Abuja.

Jubril urged applicants interested in employment with the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), and the Federal Fire Service (FFS) to apply online through the board’s official portal: https://recruitment.cdcfib.org.

“Applications should be submitted online within three weeks from the date of this publication, and note that the application is absolutely free,” he emphasized, warning against any form of payment for the application process.

He further stressed that applicants must apply to only one of the four agencies of their choice, as multiple applications will automatically lead to disqualification.

Specific requirements for each position include:

• Superintendent of Corrections (CONMESS 09): Applicable only to NCoS. Applicants must hold a Bachelor’s Degree (BSc) in Medicine and Surgery (MBBS).
