CDCFIB Announces 2025 CBT Results and Invites Candidates for Physical Screening
The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has released fresh updates on the 2025 nationwide recruitment exercise, including detailed statistics, the release of CBT examination results, and the announcement of the next stage—physical screening and document verification.
The recruitment, which began earlier in the year, attracted unprecedented interest from Nigerian youths across all 36 states and the FCT. According to official figures, over 1.9 million applicants submitted entries for available positions across the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Federal Fire Service (FFS), and Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS).
Massive Participation and Updated Statistics
CDCFIB disclosed that hundreds of thousands of applicants were shortlisted for the Computer-Based Test (CBT). The latest breakdown shows the following score distribution from the examination:
0–40 points: 221,996 candidates
41–60 points: 229,155 candidates
61–80 points: 278,543 candidates (the highest group)
81–100 points: 142,697 candidates
The data also revealed the states with the highest number of participants. Kogi, Kaduna, and Benue recorded the most applicants, followed closely by Kano, Niger, Oyo, and Katsina states. The high turnout highlights the intense competition and the demand for federal paramilitary jobs among Nigerian youths.
CBT Results Released Online
Many applicants have now gained access to their CBT scores through the CDCFIB recruitment portal. However, the board clarified that the temporary removal of the “check result” feature for some users was due to backend updates—not a cancellation.
Applicants are advised to continue checking the official portal for updates:
