The medical screening for positions within the Nigeria Correctional Service, Nigeria Immigration Service, Federal Fire Service, and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps is scheduled to commence on June 22, 2026.

The CDCFIB warned applicants to disregard any information suggesting a specific dress code or the need to bring documents. They urged candidates to rely solely on official communications from the Board. The recruitment drive has seen significant interest, with over 1.9 million applications received nationwide.
