The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has announced a new update regarding its 2025 recruitment exercise.

Recall that the CDCFIB temporarily suspended the recruitment portal until July 21.

In a statement released today, July 20th, 2025, the board has said, “Kindly be informed that applicants who have successfully initiated their applications are advised to retrieve their applications and complete their applications they have initiated.”

This update comes after a temporary interruption in the application process. CDCFIB explained that the delay was caused by a 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 read.

The recruitment portal at https://recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng will reopen on Monday, July 21st, 2025. The board emphasized that “this application is absolutely free at all stage.”

News Update:

The CDCFIB portal is now open for applications.

News Update:

According to the CDCFIB, candidates should not reapply if they have successfully submitted their applications earlier. You can always retrieve your application from the portal.

For applicants with Bsc/HND, ensure you submit your application with your NYSC certificate number.

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC), Nigeria, has addressed claims circulating online about the cancellation of the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for School Candidates.

In a statement made available to the public, the Council described the information as completely false and misleading.

According to WAEC, a press statement dated Saturday, July 19, 2025, has been circulating on social media platforms. It falsely claimed that the Federal Ministry of Education, in collaboration with WAEC, had canceled the 2025 WASSCE due to widespread examination malpractice, coordinated leakage of question papers, and unauthorized digital sharing of exam materials.

“The WAEC Management would like to state unequivocally that the spurious Press Statement being circulated did not emanate from the Council. The said examination has not been cancelled,” the Council said.

WAEC added that the source of the misinformation remains unknown but insisted it is a deliberate attempt by some individuals to cause confusion and panic among candidates and the general public.

“As a matter of fact, the marking of scripts of the said examination has just been concluded and results will be released on or before Monday, August 4, 2025,” WAEC confirmed.

The Council also emphasized that any official information regarding its activities, including examination results and updates, will only be shared through verified social media handles and accredited news platforms.

“All press releases are issued and signed by the Public Affairs Department of the Council on behalf of the Head of National Office,” it noted.

WAEC has therefore urged parents, candidates, schools, and the public to ignore the false report and await the official release of the 2025 WASSCE results as earlier scheduled.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Education confirmed that both WAEC and NECO exams are not cancelled.

In other news, WAEC denied conducting 2025 Exam Diets in July.

July 20, 2025 – A Facebook post making rounds online has stirred conversation among Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) trainers, following a claim that accreditation has officially started.

Recall that TVET trainers recruitment was recently conducted, and successful trainers will be paid N30,000 per student. Accreditation has started, according to circulating reports.

According to a post, “Accreditation process has commenced! I’ve just received a call from TVET officials and had a productive meeting at their state office. They’re visiting my training center tomorrow (Monday) for accreditation.”

The poster also promised updates: “I’ll be sharing live updates on my Facebook page during their visit, so be sure to follow for real-time insights!”

Although this development is not yet officially confirmed, the post has quickly gained attention online.

More details to be updated shortly.

News Update:

The FME TVET initiative has commenced the verification process for accreditation centers for trainers. It is expected that applicants’ dashboards will be updated to “Approved” by the last week of July. The program is scheduled to begin in the first week of August 2025.

News Update (July 23, 2025)

The ongoing TVET accreditation exercise has begun in several states, with assessors already visiting training centres for physical verification. At some centres, the team inspected facilities, took photos, and recorded the GPS location of the premises.

Trainers were also asked to resend the same pictures used during registration, but this time through a WhatsApp number provided by the assessors. This step is part of the verification checklist.

In some states, fewer centres have been included in this first phase. However, it looks like more centres will be added in subsequent rounds. So, if your application status currently shows “Verified Submission,” stay alert—you may soon receive a call for physical assessment.

July 20, 2025 – The Edo State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) has denied any involvement with a list currently circulating online, which claims to be an official list of newly employed teachers.

In a circular dated Sunday, July 20th, 2025, addressed to Acting Education Secretaries, HPMs, School Leaders, and Teachers, the Executive Chairman of Edo SUBEB issued a clear disclaimer to the public.

“I am directed to bring to the attention of the general public that a list of employment of teachers is currently circulating online, purporting to be an official list from the Board. We hereby disclaim any responsibility or authenticity of the said list,” the Chairman stated.

The Board emphasized that the list did not originate from SUBEB and should therefore be disregarded. The statement went on to advise the public on how to verify any employment-related information.

“We want to inform the public that any list of employment or recruitment of teachers should be verified through official channels, such as SUBEB website or direct communication with the office,” the circular explained.

SUBEB also assured the public of its commitment to transparency and accountability.

“We will make official announcements and publications through our recognised channels,” it added.

The Board urged the public to ignore the circulating list and reiterated its dedication to sharing accurate information only through proper means.

“Please disregard the list in question, and be assured that we will communicate any official information regarding teachers’ employment through proper means,” it concluded.
