Rumors have recently surfaced online regarding a supposed recruitment training exercise for the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB). However, CDCFIB has nothing to do with the circulating information.
According to the claims being shared, “To be followed after the successful documentation exercise of newly recruited personnel, basic training will resume across all states formations of The Services and the Federal Capital Territory.”
The viral message further reads, “Prior to the nationwide training, all the recruits will be subjected to full documentation in batches at their designated Service headquarters, where their details including biometric data will be captured.”
Another part of the message claims, “At state commands level where they are to undergo basic mandatory training before proceeding for career courses, the new entrants are required to physically present themselves for the already pre-planned programme coordinated from the National Headquarters.”
It also states that “The harmonized basic training is expected to progress simultaneously for three months in different locations across the country where they will be exposed to regimental orientation and the mandates of the Corps. Thereafter, they will proceed in batches for more training at the various training colleges of the Service.”
“The CDCFIB expects the new recruits to show commitment and exhibit high level of discipline during the training as this would help them to sharpen their skills for the task ahead,” the statement added.
The unofficial message even boldly ends with “copied from CDCFIB,” which isn’t the case.
