Excitement As FCTA Launches Promotion Exercise For 13,000 Staff

According to Ireporter Online, the development was confirmed by the Chairman of the FCT Civil Service Commission, Engr. Emeka Ezeh, who stated that the exercise received the approval of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.

The promotion exercise officially began on Wednesday, July 1, and is scheduled to run for 10 days. The commission noted that over 13,000 staff members across approximately 150 cadres and grade levels are participating in the process.

The commission further explained that the approval aligns with ongoing efforts to strengthen career progression within the FCT public service and ensure timely advancement for qualified personnel.

It was also disclosed that the minister directed that the 2026 promotion exercise must be concluded before the end of the year to guarantee that eligible officers are not delayed in their career progression. He further instructed relevant agencies under the FCTA to collaborate effectively to ensure a smooth and credible exercise while preventing the challenges recorded in previous editions.

Engr. Ezeh assured that all necessary arrangements have been concluded for a seamless process, urging participants to remain calm and cooperate fully throughout the exercise. He also wished candidates success in the computer-based promotion examination.

The FCT Civil Service Commission had earlier introduced computer-based testing for promotion assessments in 2024, becoming the first civil service commission in the country to adopt such a system.
