Update on Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) Direct Enlistment 2026
The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has issued an important public notice warning Nigerians about a fake recruitment circular currently circulating online. The misleading circular is titled “Good Luck to all Nigeria Immigration Service Recruitment Applicants” and falsely claims that the Service is accepting applications for direct enlistment. The NIS has clearly stated that this information is false and should be completely disregarded.
According to the Service, this clarification is necessary to set the record straight and protect members of the public from fraud. As of now, the Nigeria Immigration Service is not accepting applications for recruitment through any independent or unofficial platform. Any information suggesting otherwise is inaccurate and potentially harmful.
The NIS further explained that all its recruitment exercises are conducted strictly through the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB). There is currently an ongoing recruitment process under the CDCFIB, but it is still awaiting the necessary executive approval before shortlisted applicants can be invited for aptitude tests and interviews. Until such official directives are announced, no recruitment activity is taking place.
In light of this, the Nigeria Immigration Service has confirmed that the so-called NIS Direct Enlistment Portal at https://niscareer.linkpc.net
is fake. The Service emphasized that this website is the work of scammers and fraudsters attempting to deceive unsuspecting job seekers. Members of the public are strongly advised not to submit personal information, make payments, or engage with the portal in any form.
For transparency and public safety, the NIS reiterated that the only legitimate recruitment portals for Nigeria
Immigration Service recruitment are the official CDCFIB platforms. These include:
CDCFIB Recruitment Portal:
recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng
Official CDCFIB Website:
cdfipb.gov.ng
Any authentic update regarding Nigeria Immigration Service recruitment, including application dates, aptitude test schedules or interview notices, will be published exclusively through these official CDCFIB channels and credible government announcements.
The Nigeria Immigration Service urges Nigerians, especially job seekers, to remain vigilant and rely only on verified government sources for recruitment information. Applicants should also be cautious of social media messages, forwarded broadcasts and unofficial websites promising recruitment slots or fast-track enlistmentas these are common tactics used by fraudsters.
There is no active NIS direct enlistment portal at this time and the public should ignore all contrary claims. Staying informed through official platforms is the best way to avoid scams and protect personal information.
