The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) and the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) have commenced the 2025 promotion evaluation for more than 13,000 public servants.
The FCT Civil Service Commission Chairman, Emeka Ezeh, has launched the latest exercise in a statement released on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, confirming that FCT Minister Nyesom Wike officially approved the rollout.
According to the Commission Chairman, Ezeh, the 10-day promotion examination started on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, targeting over 13,000 workers across 150 cadres and grade levels.
He said the exercise forms part of the Federal Government’s Renewed Hope Agenda and is aimed at ensuring eligible officers progress in the civil service.
Ezeh disclosed that Wike had also directed the commission to conduct the 2026 promotion exercise before the end of the year to ensure that all eligible officers have the opportunity to advance in the service.
The Minister further directed the commission to ensure that the 2026 promotion exercise is also conducted before the end of the year to ensure all eligible officers are allowed to grow in the service.
He added, “He directed the commission to work with all relevant agencies of the FCTA to ensure a hitch-free exercise, such that all issues which arose from the previous exercise do not recur.”
The commission chairman assured participants that adequate arrangements had been made to ensure a seamless exercise and urged candidates to remain patient throughout the process.
He also wished all participants success in the computer-based test promotion exercise.
The commission noted that it became the first civil service commission in Nigeria to conduct promotion examinations through Computer-Based Testing in 2024, barely six months after its inauguration in March of that year.
