Abuja: 8,000 FCTA civil servants to write computer-based promotion exams
More than 8,000 Civil Servants in the Federal Capital Territory Administration will sit promotion examinations this week.
The chairman of the FCT Civil Service Commission, Emeka Ezeh, said on Sunday that the over 8,000 civil servants cut across 165 cadres.
According to Mr Ezeh, the promotion examinations are scheduled to be held for five days, from Tuesday to Saturday, at the National Open University Study Centre along Kubwa Road, Abuja.
He stated, ”The FCT minister, as part of staff motivation, approved the request of the FCT Civil Service Commission to quickly conclude the 2024 promotion exercise of FCT/FCDA workers across all cadres.
“The promotion examinations that will be conducted, using the computer-based test, will deepen the newly introduced digital platform for promotion examinations that was approved by the FCT Minister.”
Mr Ezeh noted that the FCT, under the leadership of Nyesom Wike, blazed the trail as the first commission in Nigeria to conduct its promotion by CBT.
He added that the minister had, in August, approved the promotion of 49 Directors, who were successful in the computer-based examination conducted by the commission.
