Promotion exercise for over 13,000 civil servants in the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) and the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) will start today.
Chairman of the FCT Civil Service Commission, Engr Emeka Ezeh, who made this known on Wednesday, said the exercise was as approved by the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.
The promotion exercise, which will commence today, will be on for a period of ten days, with over 13,000 civil servants participating across 150 cadres and grades.
The statement read; “As part of the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr President, the Honourable Minister of FCT, Barrister Nyesom Wike, has approved the promotion exercise for over 13,000 FCT Civil Servants for the year 2025.
“The exercise is expected to commence on July 1, 2026 for a period of ten days.
“The Minister further directed the Commission to ensure that 2026 promotion is also conducted before the end of the year to ensure all eligible officers are given the opportunity to grow in the service.
He directed the Commission to work with all relevant agencies of FCTA to ensure a hitchfree exercise such that all isues which arose from the previous exercise do not repeat themselves.”
He assured all candidates that arrangements have been concluded to ensure this year exercise is hitch free, pleading with participants to be patient during the exercise while wishing them the best of luck in the CBT promotion exercise.
Recall that the FCT Civil Service Commission blazed the trail as the first Civil service Commission to conduct its promotion exercise by CBT in 2024 barely six months after inauguration in March 2024.
