NABTEB Releases 2025 June/July Examination Results
The National Business and Technical Examinations Board (NABTEB) has officially released the results of the 2025 June/July National Business Certificate (NBC) and National Technical Certificate (NTC) examinations. According to the board, 83.28% of candidates obtained five credits and above, with or without English and Mathematics, showing a significant improvement compared to the 2024 results.
This development highlights Nigeria’s growing commitment to technical and vocational education, a sector vital for an innovation-driven economy.
Improved Performance Compared to 2024
Speaking at the official results release in Abuja, NABTEB Registrar and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Mohammed Aminu Mohammed, confirmed that the 2025 performance outshone last year’s results.
- A total of 92,875 candidates registered across 1,892 centres nationwide.
- This marks a 37.08% increase in enrolment and a 10.77% increase in exam centres compared to 2024.
- Of these, 89,621 candidates were graded.
- 61,104 candidates (68.18%) scored five credits and above, including English and Mathematics.
- 74,633 candidates (83.28%) scored five credits and above, with or without English and Mathematics.
This improved performance reflects better preparation and increased awareness of the importance of vocational and technical skills.
Subject Pass Rates: Mathematics Leads the Way
The subject-level analysis showed outstanding pass rates:
- Mathematics: 94.60%
- English Language: 93.10%
Dr. Mohammed noted that although more students passed Mathematics this year, fewer performed well in English Language compared to the previous year.
This trend signals a need for greater emphasis on English proficiency in technical education programs, given its importance in global communication.
Decline in Examination Malpractice
Another positive outcome was a decline in examination malpractice cases:
- 435 candidates were involved in 516 cases in 2025.
- This is a decrease compared to 349 candidates and 524 cases in 2024.
The reduction demonstrates NABTEB’s stronger enforcement measures and its commitment to upholding the integrity of the examinations.
