The National Business and Technical Examinations Board has released the 2025 June/July National Business Certificate and National Technical Certificate results, with improved performance recorded in Mathematics.
Registrar/Chief Executive Officer, Dr Mohammed Aminu Mohammed, who announced the results in Abuja on Thursday, said 92,875 candidates registered for the examinations across 1,892 centres nationwide.
He noted that the figure represented a 37.08 per cent increase in enrolment compared to 2024, while the centres rose by 10.77 per cent.
According to him, candidates sat for 16 Engineering Trades, seven Construction Trades, nine Miscellaneous Trades, four Business Trades and 16 General Education Subjects.
Mohammed disclosed that 89,621 candidates had their results released, with 61,104 candidates, representing 68.18 per cent, obtaining five credits and above including English Language and Mathematics.
He also added that 74,633 candidates, representing 83.28 per cent, scored five credits and above with or without English Language and Mathematics.
“More candidates passed Mathematics while fewer candidates passed English Language this year when compared to last year’s examination results,” he said.
He revealed that 93.10 per cent of candidates who sat for English Language recorded pass grades, while Mathematics had 94.60 per cent.
On examination malpractice, Mohammed explained that 435 candidates were involved in 516 cases, compared to 349 candidates in 524 cases recorded in 2024.
“This is a decrease in the incidence of examination malpractices,” he stated.
The Registrar said registration had commenced for the 2025 November/December NBC/NTC and Advanced National Business Certificate/Advanced National Technical Certificate (ANBC/ANTC) examinations.
“Prospective candidates can access the NABTEB portal or visit any State or Zonal Office to obtain guidelines for registration,” he said.
Mohammed further stressed the importance of vocational and technical education in national development.
“You will agree with me that in today’s 21st-century world the need for comprehensive TVET is highly crucial,” he said.
NABTEB was created by Decree No. 70 (Act 70) of 1993 to take over technical and business exams previously administered by foreign bodies like RSA, City & Guilds, WAEC, ensuring government-controlled, nationally relevant certification.
The NBC/NTC exams are part of Nigeria’s Technical and Vocational Education & Training (TVET) framework, aimed at equipping learners with practical, employable skills in trades and vocational fields.
In the June/July 2024 NBC/NTC exams, 67,751 candidates sat; 44,000 of them (65.34%) obtained five credits including English & Maths, and 62,235 candidates (92.42%) got five credits or more with or without English & Maths.
