Civil Defence Board Warns Nigerians Against Recruitment Scams as 2025 Exercise Advances
The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board has issued a warning to Nigerians regarding fraudulent recruitment messages circulating online, as the 2025 paramilitary recruitment process advances to a critical stage.
In a statement released on its official X account late Wednesday, the board emphasized that it will not contact applicants via email or SMS. All legitimate updates are exclusively available on its official recruitment portal.
The board urged applicants to visit the site to update their profiles and print examination slips as part of the ongoing shortlisting process.
“CDCFIB will not send emails or SMS to applicants. Visit our portal, and once shortlisted, update your profile to print your examination slip. Follow the instructions carefully. Beware of scammers,” the board advised.
This warning comes in the wake of the release of the list of candidates shortlisted for the computer-based tests for the paramilitary agencies.
In a statement on Wednesday, the board’s secretary, retired Major-General Abdulmalik Jubril, urged applicants who applied for positions in any of the four paramilitary agencies to visit the official recruitment portal at https://recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng starting Thursday to check if they have been shortlisted.
“From Thursday, October 30, 2025, candidates should check if they have been shortlisted for the next stage of the exercise, including the venue, date, and time for the Computer-Based Test (CBT),” he said.
The statement also emphasized the importance of verifying the correct portal address to avoid falling victim to scams.
