The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has reopened its recruitment portal from October 28 to November 13, 2026, for eligible candidates to check their recruitment status and obtain codes for mandatory drug screening.
The exercise covers recruitment into the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) and Federal Fire Service (FFS). It is a continuation of the existing recruitment process, not a fresh application opportunity.

Is the CDCFIB Drug Test Free?
Yes. The mandatory drug screening is free for eligible candidates, with the Federal Government covering the cost. Candidates should not pay anyone for drug test codes, screening or promises of employment.
The Board has warned applicants against paying individuals who claim they can influence recruitment outcomes. Anyone asked to pay for the screening should report the demand to the appropriate security agency.
What Happens After the Drug Test?
Candidates who complete the drug test and satisfy the remaining recruitment requirements can proceed to the appointment stage. Successful candidates are expected to receive further instructions concerning the collection of their appointment letters.
