The Registrar and Chief Executive Officer of the National Business and Technical Examinations Board, Dr Mohammed Aminu Mohammed, has assured that the digitalisation of NABTEB’s examination processes, from registration to result processing and certificate issuance, is on course.

Mohammed, in his inaugural speech in Benin, Edo State capital, yesterday, said the process is being accelerated, adding that when completed, the process will minimise human errors, reduce processing time and enhance the overall efficiency of their operations.

He said, “We will gradually transition more of our subjects to computer-based testing platforms, in line with global trends and the increasing digital literacy of our candidates. We will strengthen our examination monitoring and supervision mechanisms through the deployment of more supervisors.

“We will institute a systematic review of our examination syllabi to ensure they remain relevant, up-to-date, and aligned with industry needs and international standards.

“We will revamp our logistics management system to ensure timely delivery of examination materials to all centres, regardless of their geographical location.”

He also promised regular training and retraining of examination officials, including supervisors, invigilators and markers, to enhance their competence and ethical conduct.

Mohammed said the initiatives would improve the technical aspects of NABTEB’s examinations and enhance public confidence in the credibility and value of its certificates.
