The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has issued a fresh directive on the appropriate attire for candidates shortlisted for the oral interview stage of its 2024/2025 recruitment exercise.
The Board said the oral interview is scheduled to begin on September 7, 2026, urging shortlisted applicants to comply fully with the stipulated dress requirements.
In a statement released on Thursday by its Head of Press and Public Relations, Okeh Juliet, the Board said the clarification followed enquiries from candidates seeking guidance on what they should wear to the exercise.
“This clarification supersedes the earlier one and becomes necessary following enquiries from candidates on acceptable attire.
“The approved dress code is as follows: White T-shirt with short or long sleeves. (the long sleeve is optional for ladies) White shorts or white long trousers (the long trouser is optional for ladies),” the statement read.
According to the Board, candidates are also expected to wear white sneakers and white socks when appearing for the interview.
Female applicants may also wear headscarves, although the Board stated that this is optional.
“All candidates are advised to strictly adhere to the dress code stated above. Candidates who fail to comply will not be granted access to the interview venue,” the statement said.
The oral interview represents the final phase of the recruitment exercise for positions in the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Nigerian Correctional Service, Federal Fire Service and Nigeria Immigration Service.
The Board had previously directed applicants in the Graduate Category to verify their shortlisting status on the official recruitment portal between August 31 and September 2, 2026.
Applicants who applied with NCE, OND and SSCE qualifications are expected to check their status from September 7 to 9.
Candidates who make the shortlist are required to choose an interview venue closest to them, select a convenient date and time, and print their invitation letters.
The Board also reiterated that participation in the recruitment exercise is free, warning applicants against giving money to individuals claiming they can secure employment for them.
It wished all shortlisted candidates success in the oral interview.
