A total of 1, 394 out of the 45,974 candidates who sat for the Nov/Dec, 2016 NABTEB-
organised examinations were caught over examination malpractice.
Mrs Ifeoma Isiugo-Abanihe, the Registrar of NABTEB – National Business and Technical
Examination Board – in Edo, gave the figure on Tuesday in Benin.
The registrar gave the figure while announcing the release of the results of the Nov/Dec 2016
National Business Certificate (NBC) and National Technical Certificate (NTC) examinations.
Isiugo-Abanihe said that 21, 476 candidates who sat for NBC and NTC examinations scored five credits and above, with English Language and Mathematics.
The registrar said that modalities put in place by
the board to curtail examination malpractice
were still intact to reduce the proportion.
She said that NBC and NTC had multiple benefits including serving as certificates with which to secure jobs and means to obtain admission into tertiary institutions.
Isiugi-Abanihe urged state governors to set up technical and vocational education training centres to empower the youth.
