The Federal Capital Territory Administration has officially commenced a comprehensive promotion exercise for over 13,000 workers following authorization from the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike. The extensive career advancement program is scheduled to span 10 days, encompassing personnel from both the core administration and the Federal Capital Development Authority across approximately 150 professional cadres and grade levels.

In a statement released on Wednesday, the Chairman of the FCT Civil Service Commission, Engr. Emeka Ezeh, noted that this initiative is geared toward enhancing public service efficiency. He added that the development aligns closely with the federal administration’s broader national development goals. This particular FCT civil servant promotion exercise, which officially represents the 2025 promotion cycle, begins on July 1, 2026, under a framework designed to ensure total transparency.

Furthermore, the Minister has issued a directive ensuring that the subsequent 2026 evaluation cycle takes place before the end of the current year. This proactive approach aims to eliminate career stagnation and guarantee that all qualifying personnel transition smoothly to their next professional tiers without delay. The commission is actively collaborating with secondary agencies to resolve administrative bottlenecks that disrupted similar exercises in the past.

To maintain transparency, the evaluations will utilize a Computer-Based Test format, a technology the commission pioneered nationwide for civil service promotion workflows back in late 2024. Eligible participants are urged to cooperate orderly with coordinating officials throughout the designated examination timeline.
