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 the 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 issues which arose from the previous exercise do not repeat themselves.”
He assured all candidates that arrangements have been concluded to ensure this year’s 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.
