The board disclosed this in a statement signed by its Secretary, Maj.-Gen. (Rtd.) A.M. Jibril, obtained by The News Chronicle on Friday, August 21, 2026.
The announcement comes amid growing anticipation among applicants who participated in the nationwide recruitment exercise.

“The large number of applications received across the country places upon the board the duty of ensuring that there is a comprehensive, just, and transparent selection into the services,” the statement said.
The CDCFIB explained that it deliberately avoided rushing the exercise to ensure that the recruitment complied with the principles of justice, merit, federal character, due process and the operational requirements of the four services.
“It is the intention of the CDCFIB not to rush the entire recruitment process, but to bring it to completion without any prejudice to the principles of justice, merit, federal character, due process, and the operational requirements of the four services,” it said.
The board stated that the recruitment process had already taken place and was now at its final stage, which would be completed within four weeks.
