The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire, and Immigration Services Board has released the approved list of physical verification centres for the 2025 recruitment exercise.

This followed the completion of last month’s computer-based tests. The board announced that the list of shortlisted candidates for physical screening and document verification will be published between Monday, December 1, and Wednesday, December 3.

According to the board, the physical verification stage is a key part of the recruitment process, as candidates’ identities, documents and physical fitness will be thoroughly authenticated before they progress to the final selection phase.

Tribune reported on Monday that the board had approved centres across all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.

The verification centres will accommodate candidates shortlisted under the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS), Federal Fire Service (FFS) and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
