Abuja: The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Board (CDCFIB) has announced the opening of its online portal for recruitment into various paramilitary agencies, inviting qualified candidates to apply for full-time positions starting from Thursday. This announcement was made by the board’s Secretary, retired Maj.-Gen. Abdulmalik Jubril, in a statement released on Monday.
According to News Agency of Nigeria, Jubril urged candidates interested in joining the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Nigerian Correctional Service, Nigeria Immigration Service, and the Federal Fire Service to apply via the board’s official recruitment portal: https://recruitment.cdcfib.org. The application process is open for three weeks from the date of the announcement and is free of charge. He stressed that applicants should apply to only one agency, as multiple applications would lead to disqualification.
The recruitment drive includes vacancies for the positions of Superintendent, Inspectorate, and Assistant cadres.

The Assistant Superintendent I (CONPASS 09) role, available only in the Federal Fire Service, requires a Degree in Law or a BSc in fields such as Mechanical, Civil, Chemical, or Water Engineering.
