  "summary": "The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire, and Immigration Services Board has moved the 2024/2025 recruitment exercise for four paramilitary agencies to the physical screening and document verification stage. Applicants who participated in the Computer-Based Test conducted in November 2025 should check their status on the board's official recruitment portal. From June 15 to June 20, applicants must log in using their Application Number, verify their status, and if shortlisted, upload credentials and select a physical screening date and venue. The board urges applicants to avoid paying money to anyone claiming to have influence over the recruitment process and to disregard fake messages, fraudulent links, and unauthorized persons. The recruitment exercise covers the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Nigeria Immigration Service, Nigerian Correctional Service, and Federal Fire Service.",
