CDCFIB recruitment: Board announces dress code for oral interview

The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board has released updated dress code guidelines for shortlisted oral interview candidates in its 2024/2025 recruitment cycle. The new standards were detailed in a Thursday statement by the Board's Head of Press and Public Relations, Okeh Juliet. The oral interview, marking the final stage of the recruitment process, is set to commence on September 7, 2026.

The recent clarification came in response to numerous inquiries from candidates about the appropriate attire for the interview.

The approved dress code stipulates candidates must wear a white T-shirt with either short or long sleeves (the long-sleeved option is optional for women), paired with either white shorts or white long trousers (the long trousers are optional for ladies). All applicants are required to wear white sneakers and white socks. Women are permitted to wear headscarves, though this is not mandatory.

The Board emphasizes the importance of adhering strictly to the outlined dress code, warning that candidates who do not comply will not be permitted entry to the interview venue. Successful candidates in the graduate category are instructed to confirm their shortlisting status through the official recruitment portal between August 31 and September 2, 2026.

Those with NCE, OND, or SSCE qualifications will be able to check their status from September 7 to 9. Shortlisted candidates must select a nearby interview venue and choose a convenient date and time to finalize their interview arrangements. The Board reiterates that the recruitment exercise is free of charge, cautioning applicants against making any monetary exchanges for employment opportunities.
