“We will continue to introduce various approaches to combat examination fraud and foster a culture of academic integrity in our system,” he assured.
Beyond the NBC/NTC results, the NABTEB boss underscored board’s role in technical and vocational education, encouraging stakeholders to explore the opportunities within the sector.
“NABTEB administers several important assessments, including the National Common Entrance Examination (NCEE) for Technical Colleges, the National Skills Qualification (NSQ), and the Modular Trade Certificate (MTC), which equip candidates with practical competencies,” he said.
Asanga also announced that NABTEB had started issuing electronic certificates (e-certificates) for candidates from 2017 to 2022, making it easier for them to access their results digitally.
He urged candidates, parents, and guardians to take advantage of ongoing registration for the May/June 2025 in-school examinations.
“The dual benefits of NABTEB qualifications—career progression and academic advancement—cannot be overstated.
“I encourage all concerned stakeholders to ensure their wards register for our upcoming examinations,” he advised.
According to him, the Federal Ministry of Education has approved a policy transition from Federal Science and Technical Colleges (FSTCs) to Federal Technical Colleges (FTCs) to align with modern workforce demands.
He identified funding and other constraints, perception and stigma on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), and curriculum as some of the challenges calling for appropriate funding and legislation.
