Urgent Opportunity Alert: The Federal Fire Service is actively seeking qualified professionals for pivotal leadership roles, and this could be your chance to step into a significant position within the nation's emergency services! But here's where it gets controversial... The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire, and Immigration Services Board (CDCIFB) has officially announced a fresh wave of vacancies—both internal and external—for critical mid-management roles in the Federal Fire Service (more details at https://fedfire.gov.ng/). This open call is extended to dedicated officers from federal, state, and local government ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs), inviting eligible candidates to apply. Let's look at what positions are available and what it takes to qualify.
Available Positions:
The CDCIFB has specified five key roles currently open for recruitment:

- Chief Superintendent of Fire (CONPASS level 12)
- Superintendent of Fire (CONPASS level 11)
- Deputy Superintendent of Fire (CONPASS level 10)
Who Can Apply?
This opportunity is exclusively for individuals already serving in government MDAs. It's crucial to note that each applicant can only submit a single application—multiple submissions will result in disqualification. So, precision and focus are essential when preparing your application.
Additional Eligibility Criteria:
Applicants must also meet specific physical and administrative requirements, including:

- Proof of current appointment confirmation.
- At least three years' worth of APER/PMS reports, which are performance evaluation reports.

- A clean record regarding both financial and criminal matters.
- An official letter of identification from your Local Government of Origin.
- A certified true copy of your Record of Service.
Note: Serving personnel in paramilitary organizations are not eligible to apply, so this opportunity is exclusively for civilians currently in government service.
