Candidates shortlisted for the final stage of the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board recruitment have been given a strict dress directive ahead of the oral interview.
According to the Board, the exercise will kick off on September 7, 2026. The announcement was contained in a statement signed by the Head of Press and Public Relations, Okeh Juliet, on Thursday.
The Board said the new clarification was issued “following enquiries from candidates on acceptable attire” and “supersedes the earlier one.”
For the interview, applicants are to appear in a uniform look. The Board listed the approved items as “White T-shirt with short or long sleeves. (the long sleeve is optional for ladies) White shorts or white long trousers (the long trouser is optional for ladies).”
It also added “white sneakers and white socks, while headscarves are optional for female candidates.”
CDCFIB warned that compliance is compulsory.
“All candidates are advised to strictly adhere to the dress code stated above. Candidates who fail to comply will not be granted access to the interview venue,” the statement said.
However, the Board had earlier stated that “candidates who applied under the Graduate Category were to check their shortlisting status on the official recruitment portal between August 31 and September 2, 2026, while candidates who applied with NCE, OND and SSCE qualifications were scheduled to check from September 7 to 9.”
Shortlisted persons are also expected to “select a venue nearest to them, as well as a date and time, and print their invitation letters.”
The Board again reminded applicants that the process is free. It had “warned applicants against paying anyone for employment, stressing that the recruitment process was free of charge.”
