The board acknowledged the high level of anticipation among applicants as they await the conclusion of the recruitment exercise. CDCFIB Secretary, Maj Gen AM Jibril (retd.), assured candidates that due process and the principles of justice, merit, federal character, and operational requirements would be upheld during the final stages of the recruitment.

The latest statement from the board indicates that the exercise has now entered its final stage, and candidates will be notified through the official CDCFIB recruitment portal once completed. Applicants are directed to the portal at recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng for updates and to avoid any fraudulent claims or requests for payment.",
