ABUJA: The Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has directed an immediate resolution of technical issues affecting the recruitment portal of the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board CDCFIB, following complaints by thousands of applicants.
Many applicants had taken to social media and other platforms to express frustration over their inability to access the portal to confirm their application status for recruitment into the paramilitary agencies under the Ministry of Interior.
Reacting to the development, Tunji-Ojo said he had instructed the Secretary of the CDCFIB to ensure that all uploads and necessary updates on the portal were completed without delay.
“Following recent complaints from applicants into the paramilitary agencies who are still unable to determine their fate due to the ongoing upload of information, I have directed the Secretary of the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board to ensure that all uploads are completed immediately,” the minister stated.
The CDCFIB had earlier announced that applicants could begin checking their recruitment status from Friday. However, several users reported that the portal either failed to respond after they entered their login details or displayed job categories different from those they had applied for.
Checks on Friday morning indicated that the system had begun responding intermittently, with some previously locked-out applicants now able to access their profiles.
The ministry assured that the challenges would be fully resolved in the coming hours to ensure a seamless process for all candidates.
