The National Business and Technical Examinations Board (NABTEB) has announced that it will fully transition to Computer-Based Testing (CBT) for all its examinations starting from the 2026 academic session.
This revelation was made by the newly appointed Registrar and Chief Executive Officer of NABTEB, Dr. Mohammed-Aminu, during his first official address to the board’s management and staff on Thursday.
Dr. Mohammed-Aminu emphasized that his administration would prioritize the welfare of staff, improve working conditions, and enhance capacity-building efforts. He assured that NABTEB’s operations would align with President Bola Tinubu’s *Renewed Hope Agenda*, which highlights the role of technical education in national development.
“Innovation and credibility are at the heart of every examination body. Our transition to Computer-Based Testing will strengthen the integrity, efficiency, and transparency of our examination processes,” he stated.
To facilitate the shift to CBT, NABTEB will implement advanced security measures, including biometric verification, encrypted question papers, and real-time monitoring systems. These steps aim to eliminate human errors, accelerate result processing, and uphold the credibility of NABTEB certifications.
“We are determined to ensure that NABTEB remains a globally recognized examination body by digitizing our entire process—from registration to result processing and certificate issuance,” Dr. Mohammed-Aminu added.
Beyond examination reforms, NABTEB will explore grant opportunities to support technical and vocational education. Dr. Mohammed-Aminu also assured staff that promotions and recognition for outstanding service would be prioritized.
Welcoming the new Registrar, NABTEB’s Director of Special Duties, Mr. Olugbenga Ojogbede, described his appointment as timely. He expressed confidence in Dr. Mohammed-Aminu’s leadership, citing his expertise and passion for technical education as assets that would propel NABTEB to greater heights.
