The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board has announced the approved physical verification centres for the 2025 recruitment exercise into Nigeria’s paramilitary agencies.
The verification phase follows the computer-based tests concluded last month, with the board confirming that the names of shortlisted candidates for screening and document authentication will be published between Monday, December 1, and Wednesday, December 3.
According to a notice cited in Tribune on Monday, the board emphasised that the physical verification stage is crucial, as candidates’ identities, credentials and physical fitness will be thoroughly checked before they move to the final selection round.
Centres have been designated across all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory for applicants shortlisted under the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS), Federal Fire Service (FFS) and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
