There is a circular being shared online on Facebook claiming that the CDCFIB is inviting shortlisted candidates to visit the recruitment portal and select their screening centre from Monday across the 36 states and the FCT.
The false circular claims that “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/documentation.”
A copy of the fake circular obtained by Nigeria Startup News, dated January 6, 2026, purportedly e-Signed by AM Jibril Mai Gen (Rtd), Secretary to the Board, with its numerous grammatical blunders, further states that “The (CDCFIB) also ‘apologies’ for the delayed as the board were working hard to make a transparent and reliable update.”
It also noted:
“Kindly note that official communication with respect to the next stage of the exercise shall be only through the board’s portal. Applicants are advised to disregard any communication via email or other channels.”
“Accordingly, applicants who perform well have been shortlisted on merit and are advised to visit the board’s official recruitment portal address at
recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng to select their screening Centre, From Monday 12th to Wednesday 14th January 2026 across the 36 states and the FCT.”
This fake document is riddled with errors.
Concerned candidates should therefore note that the CDCFIB is yet to announce any screening for successful applicants. They are advised to ignore false claims circulating on social media and rely only on official announcements by the recruitment team.
