The National Business and Technical Examination Board (NABTEB) have released the results for the 2020 Ordinary and Advanced level examinations.
A total of 25,844 candidates scored five credits and above with or without English Language and Mathematics, out of the 32,541 that sat for the exam.
This was confirmed by NABTEB’s Registrar/Chief Executive Officer of NABTEB, Prof. Ifeoma Isiugo-Abanihe.
Isiugo-Abanihe also said that 21,175 candidates obtained five credits above including English Language and mathematics.
She said, “The business of conducting national examinations is a challenging one. This performance is quite rewarding to candidates and statistically similar to those of 2019 November/December. The board has continued to strengthen it quality assurance mechanisms.
“It is gratifying that despite the ravaging effect of Covid-19 pandemic which necessitated the postponement of both the 2020 May/June and November/December certificate examinations, NABTEB was able to successfully conduct the two exams from January 25 to Friday 19, 2021.
“I will like to use this opportunity to remind everyone of the dire need for increased emphasis on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) at all levels in the country. The principal objective of TVET is to train youths and adults, preparing them to develop relevant skills needed for today’s labour market and for academic progression.”
