Recruitment Portal Crash: Civil Defence, Prisons and Immigration Suspend Applications
The Nigerian Federal Government has announced the temporary suspension of applications for its ongoing recruitment drive across several agencies. This decision follows a widespread crash of the dedicated recruitment portal, just two days after the application process for the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) commenced. The overwhelming response from applicants nationwide is believed to be the cause of the technical difficulties.
Technical Adjustments Underway
According to an official press release issued by the CDCFIB, the suspension is intended to allow for crucial technical adjustments and upgrades to the recruitment portal. The goal is to enhance the system’s capacity and efficiency to effectively manage the unexpectedly high volume of applications being submitted. The board stated that the portal, accessible at https://recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng, will remain offline until the necessary improvements are implemented.
The temporary suspension highlights the challenges of managing large-scale online applications in Nigeria, where internet infrastructure and access can be variable. While frustrating for prospective applicants eager to join the Civil Defence, Prisons, and Immigration services, the upgrade is a necessary step to ensure a fair and efficient recruitment process in the long run. Applicants are advised to await further announcements regarding the portal’s reopening and revised application deadlines.
