The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board CDCFIB has appealed to candidates to remain patient as it completes the arrangements for the next stage of its recruitment exercise, which will involve physical screening and document verification. The Board said the public should ignore a message circulating online that claims the next stage have already been confirmed.
The false message stated, “The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board CDCFIB wishes to inform the general public that plans are ongoing towards moving to the next stage of its recruitment exercise i.e physical screening/document verification.” It further claimed that applicants who performed well had been shortlisted on merit and advised to log into the official portal from Monday 15th to Friday 19th December 2025 to choose a screening venue and date.
The message also added that “The screening exercise will hold from Monday 22nd to Friday 26th December 2025 across the 36 States and the FCT.”
It went on to congratulate supposed successful candidates and said the process followed the Federal Character principle and the needs of each Service.
CDCFIB has debunked all the claims, stressing that candidates should wait for the official physical screening and document verification announcement before taking any action.
