NSCDC, NIS, Fire Service Recruitment Portal Officially Open – [See How To Apply]

The Federal Ministry of Interior has announced the commencement of nationwide recruitment into four major paramilitary agencies, with the process officially kicking off on Monday, July 14, 2025.

The agencies involved in the recruitment exercise include the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Nigeria Fire Service (NFS), and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS).

In a statement issued over the weekend, the ministry urged interested and qualified Nigerians to apply through the official recruitment portal: recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng.

“Applicants are encouraged to visit the portal and complete their applications in line with the published guidelines,” the statement read.

The ministry also advised prospective candidates to consult its official website for detailed information on eligibility requirements, application procedures, deadlines, and other relevant instructions.

This fresh recruitment exercise follows the Federal Government’s announcement in June to employ 30,000 new personnel across the four services.

The move is part of broader efforts to boost the country’s internal security architecture and strengthen the workforce in key public safety institutions.

Naijaonpoint recalls that the Federal Government had initially announced a shift in the commencement date for recruitment into paramilitary agencies under the Ministry of Interior, pushing the earlier scheduled date from June 26 to July 14, 2025.

In a statement issued earlier by the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB), the Board noted that the official recruitment portal will now go live on Monday, July 14, 2025, almost three weeks after the original date.

“The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB), wishes to notify the general public that its recruitment portal, which was earlier slated to open on Thursday, 26th June, 2025, will now open on Monday, 14th July, 2025,” the statement read.

It also clarified the official web address for all applications, urging interested candidates to take note.

“The Board’s portal address for prospective applicants desiring to apply into the Service of their choice is now: recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng,” it added.
