The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) announces the reopening of its recruitment portal for the ongoing paramilitary recruitment exercise. Multiple outlets say the portal will be available for a limited window and provide further steps for applicants at advanced stages.

Daily Post Nigeria and Vanguard both report that the portal reopens on October 28 and closes on November 13, 2026, outlining what candidates should do next. Vanguard adds that the board announces a free drug test as part of the process, while other coverage focuses more broadly on the reopening and the progression of the recruitment stages.

Legit.ng also highlights jubilation around the reopening, describing it as a major development and noting a separate emphasis on promotion for paramilitary officers. Across the reports, the shared focus remains on dates and the next phase of the recruitment workflow, with variations in what additional details are foregrounded.
