The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) was meant to restore its recruitment site on Monday, July 21, 2025, but many Nigerians who wanted to apply for positions with the agency were frustrated when it was still unavailable.
On July 21, candidates who had already begun their applications might return to the portal to finish the procedure, the board had previously informed.
Additionally, President Bola Tinubu said on Monday morning that the site will be available on Monday morning (today).
However, a number of those who attempted to visit the portal reported that it was not opening.
One applicant, posting under the name Able God Digital on X wrote, “Omo, wetin my eye don see for this application ehn, I fit use one week cry if I’m not shortlisted. How on earth will I be the developer and still be applying? I’m telling people network issue is not politic.”
Another user, Victor.dev, expressed disappointment at the website’s performance. “Why not hire efficient developers to enhance and optimise this their website? How much could it even cost the government? Omo.”
In the same vein, Ayomide Jamilu said, “The portal is not working. Kindly help inform those in charge.”
This is the second time the reopening of the CDCFIB recruitment portal has been delayed.
The board had earlier apologized for the pause in the application process, saying the system was being upgraded due to high traffic.
In a statement on Thursday, the Secretary to the Board, retired Maj.-Gen. Abdulmalik Jubril, said that the temporary suspension was to optimize the efficiency of the recruitment portal.
As of the time of this report, no official update has been given on when the portal will be accessible.
