The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Service Board (CDCFIB) has suspended the online recruitment for job applicants into any of the paramilitary agencies to July 21.

In a statement on Thursday, the Secretary to the Board, retired Maj.-Gen. Abdulmalik Jubril, said that the temporary suspension was to optimise the efficiency of the recruitment portal https://recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng

“This development will ensure that the portal accommodated the high level of applications while guaranteeing a smooth, transparent and fair recruitment process.

“We appreciate the enthusiasm and interest of young Nigerians to serve their country through these vital agencies,” Jubril said.

Tour correspondent reports that the online recruitment exercise was initially slated to commence July 2 before it was moved to July 14.

The paramilitary agencies with vacancies are the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Nigerian Correctional Service, Nigeria Immigration Service and Federal Fire Service.
