THE National Business and Technical Examinations Board (NABTEB) has released the 2025 June/July National Business Certificate (NBC) and National Technical Certificate (NTC) examination results, showing improved performance in Mathematics.
The Registrar and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Mohammed Aminu Mohammed, disclosed the results today in Abuja.
He revealed that 92,875 candidates registered across 1,892 centres nationwide—a 37.08% rise compared to 2024, alongside a 10.77% increase in exam centres.
According to him, candidates were examined in 16 Engineering Trades, seven Construction Trades, nine Miscellaneous Trades, four Business Trades, and 16 General Education subjects.
Out of 89,621 candidates whose results were released, 61,104 (68.18%) obtained five credits and above including English Language and Mathematics, while 74,633 (83.28%) secured five credits and above with or without the two core subjects.
“More candidates passed Mathematics this year, while fewer passed English Language compared to last year’s performance,” Mohammed noted. He added that 94.6% of candidates passed Mathematics, while 93.1% passed English Language.
On examination malpractice, 435 candidates were involved in 516 cases—slightly lower than the 524 cases recorded in 2024.
The Registrar announced that registration for the November/December 2025 NBC/NTC and Advanced NBC/NTC (ANBC/ANTC) has commenced, with guidelines available on NABTEB’s portal and zonal offices.
Highlighting the importance of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), Mohammed stressed that equipping learners with practical and employable skills remains essential in today’s global economy.
NABTEB, established by Decree No. 70 of 1993, oversees Nigeria’s technical and business examinations, replacing foreign bodies such as WAEC, RSA, and City & Guilds, with the aim of providing nationally relevant certifications.
