The NABTEB TVETs online enrolment portal
The free tuition announced by President Bola Tinubu for students that embraced Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) has led to mass enrolment for the examination.
A total of 29,260 candidates enrolled for this year’s common entrance into federal and state technical colleges.
In 2024, the enrolment figure for TVET examination was 7,547.
Checks showed that Zamfara registered the lowest students for TVET with 25 candidates while Lagos State has the highest with 2,887 candidates.
A total of 591 candidates registered for the examination in Edo, while Ondo has 639 candidates.
The increase in this year’s enrolment is not unconnected with the incentives President Bola Tinubu rolled out for students seeking to be enrolled into federal and state technical colleges.
Registrar/Chief Executive Officer, National Business and Technical Examinations Board (NABTEB), Dr. Mohammed Aminu Mohammed, represented by the Director, Research and Quality Assurance, NABTEB, Mr. Pius Osaigbovo, said the huge enrolment was encouraging.
At the Benin Technical College, one of the centres in Edo State, students began examination by 10am. (The Nation)
