The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire, and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has responded to growing public concerns about its ongoing recruitment process. In an official statement released on June 10, 2025, the Ministry of Interior confirmed that the Board is following proper procedures. Maj. Gen. AM Jibril (Rtd.), Secretary to the Board, signed the release, ensuring transparency in the hiring process for all four paramilitary services.
Recently, social media circulated a letter questioning the recruitment’s legitimacy. In response, the CDCFIB confirmed presidential approval but clarified the process requires multiple stages.
Meanwhile, the Board assured the public that all recruitment exercises follow fair procedures. They guarantee equal opportunities for every qualified candidate applying for positions.
To ensure transparency, the CDCFIB will publish official job ads in national newspapers. Additionally, they reminded applicants that no fees apply during any recruitment phase.
The Board also warned against fraudsters posing as recruitment agents. These scammers often exploit job seekers by demanding payments for fake employment promises.
The CDCFIB urged job seekers to report suspicious activities to authorities immediately. By doing so, the public can help prevent exploitation and maintain the process’s integrity. Ultimately, this statement reaffirms the Board’s commitment to fairness, transparency, and accountability in all recruitment efforts.
Additionally, the Board reaffirmed its commitment to preventing fraud in public service recruitment. By enforcing strict hiring standards, it ensures only qualified candidates succeed. Consequently, this builds trust between the government and job-seeking citizens.
Promptly addressing concerns, the CDCFIB proved its dedication to transparency and accountability. Going forward, updates will only come through verified official channels. Therefore, applicants must stay vigilant and avoid unverified sources.
With these measures in place, the CDCFIB remains focused on a smooth, corruption-free hiring process. The Board’s efforts highlight its mission to serve the nation while maintaining public confidence in its operations. Applicants can now proceed with assurance, knowing the process is secure and merit-based.
