In a move to enhance workforce morale, the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) and Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) will see over 2,000 employees elevated to new ranks. This decision, approved by FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, follows a series of promotion exams conducted between November 25 and 29, 2025.
Emeka Ezeh, Chairman of the FCT Civil Service Commission, confirmed the development on Wednesday, noting that the beneficiaries span 165 job categories. He emphasized that the mass promotion reflects Wike’s dedication to improving staff welfare and fostering professional growth. Ezeh also assured workers that future promotions would adhere to scheduled timelines.
Addressing preparedness for upcoming exercises, Ezeh advised civil servants to start early preparations for the 2025/2026 promotion cycles, stressing that diligence and hard work remain key criteria. He further highlighted the commission’s commitment to its digital transition, with Computer-Based Tests (CBT) now standard for promotion exams—a system endorsed by Wike to modernize the process.
