The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has announced dates for applicants seeking recruitment into the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) and Federal Fire Service (FFS) to check the shortlist for the next stage of the exercise.
According to the Board, applicants in the graduate category will be able to check their recruitment status from Monday, August 31, to Wednesday, September 2, 2026.
Candidates who applied with NCE, OND and SSCE qualifications, on the other hand, are expected to check the shortlist from Monday, September 7, to Wednesday, September 9, 2026.
The announcement signals the progression of the 2024/2025 recruitment exercise to the oral interview stage, following the completion of the physical and medical screening exercises.
The development is expected to ease concerns among applicants who had been waiting for further updates on the recruitment process after participating in the earlier screening stages.
In a statement signed by the Secretary to the Board, Maj. Gen. (Rtd) A.M. Jibril, and published on the Board’s Facebook page on Friday night, August 28, 2026, the CDCFIB said it had completed the assessment and shortlisting of candidates who took part in the recently concluded screening exercise.
The Board said successful applicants would proceed to the oral interview stage as the recruitment process enters another phase.
Candidates are expected to use the official recruitment portal, recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng, to check their status and obtain information concerning the shortlist and oral interview.
The Board said shortlisted applicants would be required to choose an interview venue closest to them, select a suitable date and time, and print their invitation letters.
“Shortlisted candidates are requested to select a venue nearest to them, a date and time, and print their letters of invitation.”
The CDCFIB also warned that only candidates whose names appear on the shortlist would be permitted to access the interview venues.
It further cautioned applicants against falling victim to fraudsters who may demand money in exchange for employment or assistance with the recruitment process, stressing that the exercise remains free of charge.
“Applicants are therefore advised to disregard any individual or group demanding payment for employment in whatever form and to report such person(s) to the nearest security agency, or person in authority.” the statement added.
The Board urged applicants who encounter anyone demanding payment in connection with the recruitment exercise to report the individual or group to the appropriate security agency or authority.
It also clarified that recruitment notifications would not be sent to candidates through email, advising applicants to rely on the official recruitment portal for authentic information.
With the shortlist dates now fixed, applicants in the graduate category are expected to begin checking their status from August 31, while those with NCE, OND and SSCE qualifications will commence their checks on September 7.
The oral interview represents a crucial stage in the recruitment process for candidates seeking entry into the NSCDC, NIS, NCoS and FFS.
