The federal Ministry of Interior has fixed August 2024 as commencement date for the next stage of recruitment exercise into the Nigeria Immigration Service(NIS), the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps(NSCDC), the Federal Fire Service(FFS).

The Services under the Ministry are – the Nigeria Immigration Service(NIS) the Nigeria Correctional Service(NCoS), the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps(NSCDC), and the Federal Fire Service(FFS).

In a statement issued on Sunday, July 14, signed by the secretary of the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board(CDCFIB), Ja’afaru Ahmed, it read: “We will commence the next stage of the recruitment exercise in August and will conclude the exercise before the end of September, 2024.”
He expressed apology over the board’s inability to complete the process by 15th June, 2024, as earlier intended.
Ahmed said it was due to a “nationwide manpower audit exercise carried out in the Nigerian Correctional Service, Nigeria Immigration Service, Federal Fire Service and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, which was just recently concluded.

“All shortlisted candidates will be duly notified of the next stage of the recruitment exercise through the phone numbers and email addresses they provided”, Ahmed who was the immediate past Comptroller General of Corrections said.
