In a statement issued by the Board’s Secretary, retired Major General Abdulmalik Jubril, explained that the temporary suspension aims to enhance the efficiency of the recruitment portal.

“This development will ensure that the portal accommodates the high level of applications while guaranteeing a smooth, transparent and fair recruitment process.

“We appreciate the enthusiasm and interest of young Nigerians to serve their country through these vital agencies,” Jubril declared.

Recall that the online recruitment exercise was originally scheduled to begin on July 2 but was later postponed to July 14.

The paramilitary agencies with available vacancies include the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, the Nigerian Correctional Service, the Nigeria Immigration Service, and the Federal Fire Service
