Yes, but you should try to get the original of the certificate before the screening stage.

How're you doing?
Do they scrutinise the waec certificate very well?
Like, is that where they determine if someone's date of birth is correct?

I just applied. I noticed people are uploading their certificates, I don't know if it was error from my server or not because I didn't get any option to upload my school certificates , I only uploaded the likes of nin, passport, she declaration and LG attestation. Did anyone experienced thia too?

Which of the ministry is advisable to apply for out of the listed one

Lifegoesonandon:
i have Bsc and I want to go for office cadre, without connection can I get it? I don't know any politician for compromise.

God does anything

Adekunle1665:
Is it advisable to pick a bigger role since you
have the qualification, but you don't have any connection. What's your advise?

Yes, that's good because in recruitment like this Ur mode of entry (cert) is so important.

Nevertheless, there's high chance using lower grades to apply because it's less competitive. Thou only if U could bear being push around by those Oga wey U even gets higher qualifications than.

I applied very early in the morning. I used Firefox browser. Though it's kinda stressful

CDCFIB Recruitment 2025/26: How I Applied, Passed and Got Accepted into one of the Four Agencies

Following the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) recruitment exercise scheduled to commence on July 14th, 2025, and expected to run for three weeks, we’ve put together this guide to help you prepare effectively. At Techzeel, one of our team members successfully applied and was recruited into one of the CDCFIB agencies and we’ve drawn from their experience to provide valuable insights.

In this article, we’ll walk you through how to apply and increase your chances of getting accepted into any of the agencies under CDCFIB. Whether you’re applying for the first time or you’ve tried before without success, this guide is designed to give you practical tips, common mistakes to avoid, and understand what to expect at each stage.

Before We Get Started: Who are the CDCFIB?

The CDCFIB stands for Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Service Board. It is a Federal Government body responsible for overseeing the Recruitment, Promotion, and General Human Resource Management of four key Paramilitary agencies in Nigeria namely:

1. Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC)
2. Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS)
3. Federal Fire Service (FFS)
4. Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS)

Functions of the CDCFIB:

1. Cordinating and conducting recruitment exercises into any of the CDCFIB agencies
2. Overseeing appointments, promotions, and disciplinary actions
3. Ensuring compliance with federal government employment guidelines and quotas
4. Managing training, posting, and manpower development
5. They also ensure that recruitment is transparent, fair and based on merit, and that operations across the agencies are streamlined and standardized.

Getting Started

It was on August, 2019 before the COVID, a relative called to notify me about the ongoing Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps recruitment exercise under CDCFIB. I was directed me to go to the Cyber Cafe with my educational certificate, NIN Slip, passport photograph and a minimum of N1,000 service fee which will be charged by the cyber cafe as at then.

The following day I went to there with my credentials as directed. When I got there the person logged into the CDCFIB official recruitment portal (https://recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng) where she filled in my details and then submitted. After that, she printed an acknowledgement slip from the portal and gave to me stating that it was for reference in case I was shortlisted into the service.

Shortlisting Stage

Two years after applying on the CDCFIB Portal, I got an official email that I’ve been shortlisted and expected to go to a nearby CBT center in my location on a given date for me to participate in the Computer-based Test for the Recruitment exercise.

I knew that the Computer-based Test was to test my knowledge about the service I was applying for so I prepared for it using the NSCDC Act 2003, and 2007 (Amended) with some other research I made concerning the agency. Kindly note that the shortlisting process usually takes not more than 3-6 months after applying but the 2019/20 recruitment was delayed due to the COVID.

Physical Screening and Certificate Verification Stage

A month after writing the Computer-Based Test, I received an official email on July 18th, 2021. It stated that, following my application and participation in the recent assessment exercise, I had been shortlisted once again, this time for the physical screening and certificate verification exercise. The exercise was scheduled to hold at the nearest training facility of the agency, which for me was the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps Training School, Achi, Orji River LGA, Enugu State.

For the physical screening and certificate verification, I was required to come along with the following documents and items:

1. Printout of the letter invitation
2. Printout of Application Confirmation Slip with ID number
3. Original of all relevant certificates, including Date of Birth and Indigene Certificate
4. To appear in white canvas, white vest and white shorts
5. Medical Certificate from a Government Hospital
6. A valid form of identification

This, I adherred to and went to the venue where I met other applicants who also came for the same purpose, we were successfully screened then told to go that we will be notified later on.

Final Documentation Stage

Finally, I was called by a personnel of the NSCDC informing me about the successful application into the agency and told me to check my email address for further directive on the documentation stage. When I checked I saw an email stating that the board is pleased to inform me that I have been shortlisted and invited for documentation and required to go with the following documents/items;

1. Printout of the letter of invitation
2. Printout of Application Confirmation Slip with ID number
3. Original and six (6) copies of all relevant certificates, including Birth and Indigene certificate
4. Eight Copies of normal size coloured passport photograph
5. Pen, Pencil, Eraser (cleaner) and Sharpener
6. To appear in white canvas, white vest, white shorts and Face mask
6. A valid form of identification.

And that was all on my experience on securing a position in one of the CDCFIB paramilitary agencies.

Conclusion

Acquiring a position in the CDCFIB recruitment exercise is more than just employment, it’s an opportunity to serve your nation while building a stable and rewarding career. Also, success in the recruitment process requires careful attention to eligibility requirements, error-free application submission, and preparation for all assessment stages.
