Recruitment for Nigeria’s Paramilitary Services Temporarily Suspended for System Upgrade
The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has announced a temporary suspension of recruitment activities for positions in the Immigration, Civil Defence, Correctional, and Fire Services.
This decision took effect on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, due to a significant influx of users accessing the application portal, which has caused technical difficulties and delays in the application process.
The recruitment portal is expected to reopen on Monday, July 21, 2025, following necessary upgrades aimed at enhancing system performance.
The board expressed its commitment to improving user experience, as many applicants have faced challenges such as slow loading times and portal crashes resulting from heavy traffic.
In a statement, the CDCFIB acknowledged the growing interest among Nigerian youths in joining the country’s paramilitary services and assured applicants of fairness throughout the recruitment process.
Job seekers across the nation are now eagerly awaiting the reopening of the portal, hopeful for a more streamlined registration experience.
