The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) says it has received 1.9 million applications across all states of the federation for its ongoing recruitment exercise, with Kogi, Kaduna, Benue, and Katsina States recording the highest number of applicants.
The CDCFIB recruitment was initially scheduled for June 26, but was postponed twice to July 14 and then July 21 due to persistent portal failures.
It officially closed on August 11, 2025, after the August 4 deadline was extended by a week following technical glitches.
