If you’re running into issues with your application process on the CDCFIB recruitment portal, you’re not alone. Here are the most common problems and solutions that actually work when doing the online application for CDCFIB Recruitment for 2025:
Your details changed after submission on CDCFIB Recruitment Portal
Some people found their gender switched or birth date shifted by a day. Don’t worry, this happens. Go back to the portal, enter your NIN and phone number to retrieve your application. You can edit and resubmit without losing your reference number.
Passport photo won’t upload or show
The portal is picky about file sizes. Try compressing your passport photo to under 100kb using these tools. For passport photos: Use TinyPNG or Optimizilla, they’re specifically good at maintaining image quality while reducing size. For certificates/documents: iLovePDF or SmallPDF are most reliable.
Even photos that seem small enough (300kb-500kb) often fail. Getting it under 100kb usually does the trick.
Photo missing from your CDCFIB Application slip
If your picture didn’t appear after submitting, it’s likely just a display issue. Your photo is still captured in their system – don’t reapply because of this.
NIN number issues
Sometimes the NIN that works isn’t the same as what’s on your card or printout. Use whichever number actually retrieves your application. This mismatch probably won’t hurt your chances.
Can’t submit educational information
This is usually a server problem with the CDCFIB recuitment portal. Keep trying, especially during off-peak hours. If you’re uploading documents, make sure they’re compressed below 100kb too.
NYSC number problems
BSc and HND holders need to include their NYSC number. If you already submitted without it, retrieve your application and try to update it.
“Error submitting personal data”
Compress all your documents, passport, birth certificate, LGA certificate, to small file sizes. Even if they seem to meet the requirements, the servers can be glitchy. Sometimes you just need to keep trying
