The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Service Board has suspended the online recruitment for job applicants into any of the paramilitary agencies until July 21.

In a statement on Thursday, the board’s secretary, Abdulmalik Jubril, said that the temporary suspension was to optimise the efficiency of the recruitment portal https://recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng

“This development will ensure that the portal accommodates the high level of applications while guaranteeing a smooth, transparent, and fair recruitment process.

“We appreciate the enthusiasm and interest of young Nigerians to serve their  country through these vital agencies,” Mr Jubril said.

The online recruitment exercise was initially scheduled to commence on July 2, but it was later moved to July 14.

The paramilitary agencies with vacancies are the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Nigerian Correctional Service, Nigeria Immigration Service, and Federal Fire Service.
