The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) says the online portal for its recruitment exercise has been reopened.
The board had announced a suspension of recruitment into the four paramilitary agencies last week after its recruitment portal suffered glitches.
Giving an update on the situation on Monday, the CDCFIB said its portal is now back to full functionality, while apologising for the disruptions in the application processes.
The agency said the shutdown was necessary to enhance its system to handle the large volume of applications.

The organisation also urged applicants who successfully initiated their applications to retrieve and complete them beginning today.
“We sincerely apologize for the interruption in the application submission process. Due to the high volume of applications, it was necessary to enhance the system to ensure it can accommodate all applicants, thereby facilitating a seamless, transparent, and equitable recruitment process,” the statement reads.
“Visit our portal address from the 21st July 2025 https://recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng.

“We appreciate the enthusiasm and interest of young Nigerians to serve their country through these vital agencies and are committed to ensuring a fair and transparent recruitment process.”
The board further assured applicants that it is working to rectify issues regarding missing or unlisted local government areas on the portal.
“While some candidates are unable to proceed with applications resulting from missing or unlisted local government areas, CDCFIB assures that immediate action is currently being taken to rectify and make fresh inclusions into the portal for them,” it said.
