FCTA Launches Promotion for 13,000 Civil Servants

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has commenced a promotion exercise for more than 13,000 civil servants, as announced by Engr. Emeka Ezeh, the Chairman of the FCT Civil Service Commission. This initiative, approved by the FCTA Minister Barr.

Nyesom Wike, is set to begin on July 1, 2026, and will span a period of ten days. The exercise is part of the "Renew Hope Agenda" and aims to provide eligible officers with opportunities for growth within the civil service.

The Minister has directed the commission to ensure that the 2026 promotion is conducted by the end of the year and has emphasized the importance of a smooth process, urging the commission to address issues that arose in previous exercises to avoid repetition. The FCT Civil Service Commission is noted for being the first to conduct a Computer-Based Test (CBT) for promotions in 2024, just six months after its inauguration in March 2024.
