The CDCFIB has provided an important update regarding its ongoing paramilitary recruitment exercise in Kano. As of now, no screening sessions are scheduled, and the organization has urged applicants to remain vigilant to avoid potential fraud.
Juliet Okeh, the Public Relations Officer of CDCFIB, emphasized that a recent report claiming a screening exercise on April 15 was fake. She advised the public to disregard this misinformation and to rely solely on official communications.
“Any official update on the recruitment process would be communicated through verified channels,” Okeh stated, reinforcing the need for caution among applicants. This comes in light of the board’s previous announcement that shortlisted candidates for physical screening and document verification would be released between December 1 and 3, 2025.
However, the physical screening exercise has been postponed, and a new date has yet to be announced. This uncertainty leaves many applicants in limbo as they await further instructions.
Okeh also highlighted the importance of remaining cautious, stating, “The PRO also urged applicants to remain cautious and avoid falling victim to fraudsters.” This warning is particularly relevant given the prevalence of scams that target individuals seeking employment or recruitment opportunities.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the new date for the postponed physical screening exercise, leaving many hopeful candidates anxious for clarity. As the situation develops, the CDCFIB is expected to communicate any changes through its official channels, ensuring that applicants are kept informed.
