The Federal Ministry of Interior has announced that recruitment into four major paramilitary agencies will commence on Monday, July 14.
In a statement issued over the weekend, the ministry said the exercise involves the Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS, Nigeria Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, Nigeria Fire Service (NFS) and the Nigerian Correctional Service, NCS.
This latest recruitment drive follows a Federal Government announcement in June on plans to employ 30,000 new personnel across the four paramilitary services nationwide.
Eligibility Criteria
Applicants must be Nigerian citizens aged between 18 and 35 years. They are also required to meet basic medical and physical standards. Male applicants must be at least 1.65 metres tall and have a minimum chest measurement of 0.87 metres. Female applicants must have a minimum height of 1.60 metres.
In addition, all applicants must have a clean criminal record and demonstrate good character.
Educational Qualifications
At a minimum, applicants must possess a senior secondary school certificate with four or five credits, including English and Mathematics. However, candidates with higher qualifications—such as NCE, OND, HND, or bachelor’s degrees in fields such as law, medicine, or technical trades—are also encouraged to apply.
One Application Only
The board warned that each applicant must apply to only one agency. Submitting multiple applications will result in automatic disqualification.
