The development followed a review of the guidelines for recruitment into the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) by the Federal Government to accommodate more women.
Disclosing this in a post on his X (formerly Twitter) account on the evening of Friday, January 19, 2024, the Minister said the directive comes into effect with the ongoing recruitment into the Federal Fire Service.
He noted that the policy was in line with President Bola Tinubu‘s agenda to elevate women’s participation in crucial sectors to at least 35%.
