The federal government through the Ministry of Interior has given an update on the ongoing recruitment into the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps.
As the nation prepares for vital recruitment processes, the Ministry has outlined essential information that all candidates must be aware of. With the Computer Based Aptitude Test (CBAT) just around the corner, it's crucial for aspiring candidates to stay informed about the procedures and requirements. This announcement not only affects the candidates directly involved but also highlights the government's ongoing commitment to strengthening national security through proper recruitment practices.
In a recent statement released and signed by Al-Hassan S. Yakmut on Monday, November 30, 2020, the ministry notified the general public that the CBAT for recruitment into the NIS will take place on December 7. Additionally, the test for the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) is scheduled for December 8. These tests will be conducted across all 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), ensuring a wide-reaching recruitment effort.
Key Details for Candidates
Candidates must be vigilant and proactive as they prepare for the upcoming tests. It is essential to check your email and phone notifications for information regarding the test venue and times. This diligence will ensure that you do not miss any critical updates that could affect your participation in the recruitment process.
The ministry has emphasized that all shortlisted candidates will be assigned specific CBAT centers. It is important to report to these centers at the designated times to sit for the test. Failure to adhere to the assigned time and location could lead to disqualification from the recruitment process.
Preparation Steps for Candidates
To ensure a smooth experience, candidates are advised to follow these essential steps:
- Check your email and phone regularly for notifications.
- Visit the official immigration recruitment website to print your individual letters of invitation based on your application.
- Gather necessary documents, including a photocopy of your online application reference form and a valid form of ID.
It's also vital to remember that candidates will not have access to any centers or sessions outside of what has been communicated to them. This means that only the information received via official channels, such as emails and phone notifications, is valid.
Items to Bring on Test Day
On the day of the test, candidates must come prepared. Be sure to bring the following:
- Photocopy of your online application reference form.
- A valid ID with a clear photograph.

Being well-prepared and bringing the necessary items will help ensure that you have a successful testing experience. The ministry has reiterated that any notifications received outside of official channels are not recognized, so candidates must rely on the information provided directly to them.
