More than 8, 000 government employees will take their Computer-Based Test promotion exams starting on November 25, 2025, according to the Federal Capital Territory Administration.

Emeka Ezeh, the chairman of the FCT Civil Service Commission, said the exam would be open to staff members from 165 different Administration and Federal Capital Development Authority cadres.

The exams will last five days, with Sunday as the end date, according to Ezeh.

This week will see the participation of more than 8, 000 federal employees in promotion exams.

The National Open University Study Center along Kubwa Road, Abuja, will host the promotion exams for five days starting on Tuesday, November 25 through Saturday, November 29.

Remember that Lere Olayinka, the Senior Special Assistant to the FCT Minister of Public Communication and News Media, announced the results of the first-ever Computer-Based Promotion Examination that took place on August 12, 2025.

According to him, 49 deputy directors were approved by Minister Nyesom Wike and elevated to the position of director across various departments.

He continued, “The exercise was intended to clear the backlog of promotion arrears for Grade Level 16 workers from 2023 to 2025.”

Ezeh noted that the new promotion cycle was authorized by the FCT Minister, who authorized the conclusion of it quickly in 2024.

He claimed Wike “provided the nod” as part of staff motivation, “ensuring that all cadres receive the long-awaited process.”

He added that the FCT Minister approved the FCT Civil Service Commission’s request to finish the 2024 promotion exercise for FCT/FCDA employees across all cadres as quickly as possible as part of staff motivation.

He further stated that the promotion would be conducted using the Computer-Based Test, adding that this would advance the FCT Minister’s approval of the newly developed digital platform for promotion exams.

He added that the administration embraces promotions in its entirety as a digital platform.
