The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has officially launched the 2025 nationwide recruitment drive, offering a powerful opportunity for qualified Nigerians to join some of the most prestigious paramilitary services in the country. This includes the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Federal Fire Service (FFS), and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS). With zero application fees, a transparent merit-based process, and career-defining opportunities, this is a life-changing offer for individuals ready to serve their country with honour and discipline.
Just announced, the application portal will remain open from June 26, 2025, to July 17, 2025, offering just three weeks for all interested and eligible applicants to submit their credentials. This is a time-sensitive call for patriotic Nigerians who wish to begin a rewarding career in the uniformed services. Whether your background is in engineering, health sciences, criminology, law, education, or you hold an SSCE, OND, or NCE qualification—there’s a position tailored for you.
CDCFIB’s 2025 recruitment is not just about filling vacancies—it’s about building a new generation of disciplined, responsible, and service-driven officers. The application is strictly online, and multiple entries by the same applicant will result in automatic disqualification. The portal is hosted at https://recruitment.cdcfib.org, and applicants are advised to submit early due to the high volume of traffic expected.
Successful applicants will undergo structured training, and upon completion, will be deployed across Nigeria to serve in roles ranging from border control, fire and emergency rescue, correctional administration, to critical national infrastructure protection. Positions are open across the following levels:
Superintendent Cadre (for degree holders)
Inspectorate Cadre (for NCE, OND, etc.)
Assistant Cadre (for SSCE holders)
All positions are full-time and come with a government salary structure, health benefits, pension contributions, accommodation allowances, and prospects for promotion.
This urgent recruitment exercise is your gateway into a career with security, stability, and status. Successful candidates will not only receive training and a uniform—they’ll join a family of service-minded Nigerians helping to safeguard the nation.
Applicants must be in good health, possess sound moral character, and be physically fit for service. Documentation such as birth certificates, medical fitness certificates, academic qualifications, and recent passport photographs must be uploaded during the application process.
