About 2 Million Apply For NSCDC, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board Jobs

 

No fewer than 1,911,141 Nigerians have applied for the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board recruitment exercise nationwide.

This is coming as the application portal closed on Monday, August 11, despite the technical glitches, repeated portal crashes and temporary suspensions which marred the 2025 CDCFIB recruitment.

Initially, the recruitment exercise was originally scheduled to begin on June 26 before it was rescheduled to July 14 and later postponed to July 21, the development led to extension of the application window from August 4, 2025 to Monday, August 11.

The board, on its official website, revealed that Kogi state topped the lists with 116,162 applicants, followed by Kaduna (114,536), and Benue (110,565) while Bayelsa state has 11,669 applications and Lagos (14,216) as the fewest applicants.

According to it, the five states with the largest applicant pools include Kogi, Kaduna, Benue, Kano, and Niger, contributing 510,174 applicants while Bayelsa (11,669), Lagos (14,216), Rivers (22,210), Ebonyi (23,601), and Delta (27,962) with the lowest end accounted for 99,658 applicants.

Meanwhile, the board while thanking the applicants, announced that the shortlisted candidates will be contacted shortly with instructions on the next steps in the recruitment process.

The board urged applicants to regularly monitor their email and text messages and to check CDCFIB’s portal and social media accounts for updates in the coming weeks.
