The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has announced the reopening of its 2025 recruitment portal starting Monday, July 21, 2025, following a brief suspension caused by overwhelming traffic.
In an official statement, the Board explained that the portal was temporarily shut down to upgrade and optimize the system for better performance and to accommodate the surge in applications.
Applicants who have successfully initiated their applications are advised to retrieve and complete the applications they have started,” the statement read.
The CDCFIB assured all prospective candidates that the application process remains completely free and warned against falling victim to fraudulent individuals or recruitment agents demanding payments.
