The Nigerian Federal Government has just unveiled the official shortlist for its major recruitment initiative into key paramilitary agencies. Thousands of aspiring candidates are closer than ever to securing their dream jobs.
Four Key Agencies Drive National Security
This significant update comes directly from the supervising body, the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB). The board’s secretary confirmed the release. Candidates who applied for positions across four crucial agencies can now verify their status.
These agencies form the frontline of national safety and security:
- Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC)
- Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS)
- Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS)
- Federal Fire Service (FFS)
How to Verify Your Shortlisting Status
The official portal went live for verification on October 30, 2025. Applicants must visit the authorized recruitment website. There, you can discover if you have been shortlisted for the next phase of the process.
Successfully shortlisted candidates will find all the essential details for their mandatory Computer-Based Test (CBT). This information includes the specific venue, date, and exact time slot for the examination.
A Crucial Caution: Always use the precise official portal link provided by the government. This protects you from online fraudsters and scams. Never share personal information on unofficial websites.
Massive Recruitment to Bolster Public Safety
This recruitment drive is more than just a hiring exercise; it is a strategic effort to significantly strengthen Nigeria’s security framework.
The competition for these roles was fierce, with a staggering 1,911,141 applications submitted before the portal closed in August. Only the most qualified applicants have progressed to the CBT stage.
If you are preparing for the upcoming CBT, consider sharpening your skills now. Diving into relevant practice materials and reviewing past questions tailored for the specific agencies (NIS, NSCDC, NCoS, and FFS) is highly recommended for increasing your chances of success.
