5,900 FCTA Education Officers Take 2026 Promotion Exams

A total of 5,900 education officers are currently sitting for the ongoing 2026 promotion examinations organized by the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) in Abuja. This examination, which has entered its sixth day, is significant for Education Officers, Senior Education Officers, and Assistant Education Officers from Grade Level 13 to Grade Level 17.

The large turnout is attributed to a special intervention by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyensom Wike, who authorized the participation of officers previously at risk of exclusion due to past misconduct and protests. During an inspection of the examination venue, the Head of Civil Service of the FCTA, Mrs. Nancy Sabanti Nathan, expressed her satisfaction with the orderly conduct and high turnout of candidates.

She emphasized the importance of maintaining order during the exams as a pathway to career progression, reflecting the spirit of the 'Renewed Hope Agenda' endorsed by the minister.
