FCTA's Emeka Ezeh Oversees 2026 Promotion Exams for 10,700 Workers

About 10,700 civil servants in the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) began the 2026 promotion examination, which is set to continue through the following week at designated centers in Abuja. This examination, organized by the FCT Civil Service Commission, aims to ensure eligible officers receive timely promotions while addressing backlogs that have persisted since the Commission's operational start in 2024.

Engr. Emeka Ezeh, Chairman of the Commission, monitored the examination and stated that all outstanding backlogs have been cleared, with future promotions from 2027 to be conducted annually. Ezeh emphasized that while obtaining the minimum score is necessary, it does not guarantee promotion, which depends on maturity in the current post, achieving the required score, and available vacancies.

Officers from Level 7 to Level 13 must have served at least three years in their current roles, while those in the directorate cadre must have served at least four years without any disciplinary issues. Promotion will be based solely on merit.
