Massive Shake-Up as Tunji-Ojo Targets Corruption in Paramilitary Recruitment

The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has ordered the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire, and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) to urgently address the technical issues preventing applicants from accessing their recruitment status in the ongoing paramilitary recruitment exercise.

Tunji-Ojo, in a statement on Friday, noted that many applicants had been unable to determine their application status due to glitches on the recruitment portal. He therefore directed the Secretary of the Board to ensure that all pending uploads are completed without delay.

The directive came after widespread complaints from applicants who reported difficulties checking their status following the Board’s earlier announcement that updates would be available on the portal from Friday.

Addressing the issue via his official (Twitter) handle, the Minister acknowledged the setback and assured applicants that the matter would be swiftly resolved.

He wrote:

“Following recent complaints from applicants into the paramilitary agencies who are still unable to determine their fate due to the ongoing upload of information, I have directed the Secretary of the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board to ensure that all uploads are completed immediately.”

The Ministry assured that once the data upload is finalised, applicants will be able to confirm their recruitment status seamlessly.
