The National Business and Technical Examinations Board (NABTEB), on Thursday, released results of the 2014 November/ December National Business Certificate/ National Technical Certificate and the Advanced National Business Certificate/ Advanced National Technical Certificate examinations. Registrar and Chief Executive of the board, Dr Olatunde Aworanti, who announced this at the board’s headquarters in Benin, Edo State, said 45,725 candidates scored five credits and above in English Language and Mathematics, representing 67.01 per cent in the NBC/ NTC examinations, as against the 36.64 per cent recorded in May/June examinations. Aworanti explained that a total of 77,588 candidates enrolled for the examinations, which was held in 1,951 centres worldwide. He said, out of the figure, 70,014 persons registered for the Ordinary Crafts Level while 7,574 candidates enrolled for the Master Crafts Level. He also said the board had certified a total 18,926 craftsmen in various trades, under the ordinary and advanced levels .

The Registrar, however, noted that the rate of enrolment was still below expectation, in view of the nation’s quest for rapid technological development, as well as the vital role of technical
education in the country. He, therefore, called for favourable policies to provide increased participation in NABTEB programmes in Nigeria. “Both National and State Houses of Assembly should legislate on the establishment of more modern and we’ll equipped technical colleges in all local government areas in the country,” he added.
