The National Business and Technical Examinations Board (NABTEB), on Thursday, released the results of its 2025 in-school National Business Certificate/National Technical Certificate (NBC/NTC) examinations.
The Registrar/Chief Executive Officer of the NABTEB, Dr Mohammed Aminu Mohammed while officially declaring the results released, said the outcome showed tremendous improvement in performance of the candidates during the exams and a 37 per cent increase in the 2025 enrollment figures compared to 2024.
Mohammed said that about 80,000 out of the over 92,000 candidates that enrolled for the 2025 June/July examinations had credits in English and Mathematics.
Also, he said that 61,104 candidates representing 68.18% of the candidates that sat for the National Business Certificate (NBC) and National Technical Certificate (NTC) examinations had five credits and above, including English Language and Mathematics.
Mohammed said the 2025 performance surpassed that of the June/July 2024 NBC/NTC examinations results, where 44,000 candidates representing 65.34% scored five credits and above including English Language and Mathematics, and 62,235 candidates, representing 92.42% obtained five credits and above with or without English Language and Mathematics.
He said that the Board also achieved increase in the number of candidates that enrolled for the examinations and number of centres used for the conduct of the exams compared to its enrollment figures and number of centres used last year.
He revealed that out of the total number of candidates graded for the examinations,
57,651 (62.07%) were males while 35,224 (37.93%) were females.
He further revealed that there was a significant decrease in the number of cases of examination malpractices in 2025 compared to the immediate past year.
Mohammed said: “The NABTEB examinations were conducted nationwide from Monday, 16th June to Thursday, 17th July 2025.
“A total of 92,875 candidates registered for the examinations in 1,892 centres as against 67,751 in 1,708 centers in 2024, which represents 37.08% and 10.77% increase in enrollment and number of centres respectively.
“Analyses of the enrollment indicate that candidates enrolled for 16 Engineering Trades, 7 Construction Trades, 9 Miscellaneous Trades, 4 Business Trades, and 16 General Education Subjects.
“A total of 89,621 candidates were graded for the examinations, which represents 96.50% of the total enrolment.
Furthermore, 57,651 (62.07%) males and 35,224 (37.93%) females enrolled for the examinations.
“In English language, 85,476 were graded with an overall pass of 79,575 (93.10%) and 5,901 (6.90%) fail. However, in comparison with the 2024 results, 63,866 (95.87%) pass and 2,753 (4.13%) fail.

“This infers that more candidates passed Mathematics while fewer candidates passed English Language this year when compared to last year’s examination results.

“Comparatively, this performance is better when compared to the previous year’s June/July 2024 NBC/NTC examinations results, where 44,000 candidates representing 65.34% scored five credits and above including English Language and Mathematics, and 62,235 candidates, representing 92.42% obtained five credits and above with or without English Language and Mathematics.
“It was observed that 435 (0.47%) candidates out of the 92,875 who enrolled were involved in 516 incidences of examination malpractices, as against the 2024 record of 349 (0.52%) candidates’ involvement in 524 incidences.
“This is a decrease in the incidence of examination malpractices as recorded in this year 2025 June/July NBC/NTC examinations.”
Mohammed further observed that in today’s 21st-century world, driven by innovation and knowledge economy, the need for comprehensive Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) which exposes candidates to needed technical and vocational skills is highly crucial.
He also disclosed that the NABTEB has commenced registration of candidates for the 2025 November/December NBC/NTC and ANBC/ANTC examinations.
He said: “Prospective candidates can access the NABTEB portal
@novdec.nabteb.gov.ng or visit any State or Zonal Office to obtain guidelines for registration.”
He thanked the Ministers of Education for their “unwavering support, especially in the launch of the new TVET initiatives on Friday, 30th May 2025, which has given TVET the needed boost to translate Mr. President’s Renewed Hope Agenda in empowering Nigerian youths with 21st-century skills necessary for closing the skills gap in our industries.”
A fresh clash between rival terrorist groups, Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad, JAS, and the Islamic State West Africa Province, ISWAP, has reportedly left dozens of fighters dead in parts of the Lake Chad Islands, raising renewed security concerns across Nigeria’s North-East.
The development was reported by security analyst Zagazola Makama.
According to the report, the fighting erupted around Mangari and Tumbun Allura after both factions engaged in a fierce battle over control of strategic locations within the Lake Chad basin.
Makama reported that JAS fighters gained the upper hand during the confrontation, allegedly killing dozens of ISWAP fighters before seizing two boats belonging to the rival group and retreating to their stronghold at Kurnawa.
The report noted that the boats are considered critical assets because they are used to transport fighters, weapons, food supplies and other logistics across the Lake Chad waterways.
“The reported seizure of the boats is considered significant, as watercraft remain a critical means of transportation for fighters, weapons, food supplies and other logistics across the difficult terrain of the Lake Chad waterways,” the report stated.
According to intelligence sources quoted in the report, troops deployed in Mallam Fatori, Baga, Cross Kauwa, Kukawa and other communities around the Lake Chad axis have been placed on heightened alert amid fears that fleeing ISWAP fighters could disperse into nearby areas.
Makama added that security assessments warned the confrontation could increase the risk of isolated attacks, improvised explosive device, IED, ambushes and retaliatory assaults as surviving fighters attempt to regroup.
The report further stated that military authorities are considering intensified offensive operations, including increased patrols and enhanced intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance activities, to prevent fleeing insurgents from reorganising.
The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs. Didi Esther Walson-Jack, has confirmed that due diligence was not thoroughly carried out in the process that led to the recognition of the purported Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council.
She accepted responsibility for the lapse, saying her office relied on documents that appeared authentic without subjecting them to sufficient verification.
Walson-Jack made the admission while appearing before the House of Representatives ad hoc committee investigating the alleged operation of the purported council.
She told lawmakers that her office had no reason to doubt the documents at the time because they bore the State House logo and what appeared to be a familiar signature.
However, the HoSF said subsequent comparisons with genuine State House correspondence, backed by police forensic findings, confirmed that the signatures were different.
She, however, assured the committee that her office would review its internal verification procedures to make them more robust and fraud-proof.
Meanwhile, the Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu, has told the committee that the self-acclaimed Director-General of the purported council, Mr. Adeniyi Adeyemi, could not appear before the lawmakers due to a subsisting court order.
Disu, who was represented by Deputy Commissioner of Police Olufemi Akinola, said Adeyemi could only appear upon an order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
Following the submission, the committee adjourned further sitting on the matter until next week.
The Lagos State Domestic and Sexu@l V!olence Agency (DSVA) has reacted to the viral report of a 28-year-old widow simply identified as Tosin who is allegedly being harassed and intimidated by her in-laws eight days after her husband passed away.
In a statement released on Wednesday, July 29, the agency said it successfully established contact with the lady, who alleged that she had been subjected to threats to her life, physical ass@ult, and intimidation following the recent death of her husband. She further informed the Agency that the matter had already been reported to the Owutu Police Division.
The statement added that preliminary feedback from the Police confirms that the alleged perpetrator who, according to Harrison Gwamnishu, is the father-in-law, has been arrested and is currently in custody, while investigations continue.
The agency says the Lagos State Government remains committed to ensuring the safety and protection of the survivor and her children, while working closely with relevant stakeholders to ensure that justice is served in accordance with the law.
