The National Business and Technical Examination Board (NABTEB) has prolonged the registration period for the 2026 National Common Entrance Examination (NCEE) into technical colleges, assuring stakeholders of a smooth process.
Dr. Aminu Mohammed, who serves as NABTEB’s Registrar and Chief Executive Officer, revealed this in a statement on Sunday in Benin via the board’s Deputy Director of Media and Protocol, Uchechukwu Olisah.
Mohammed mentioned that the board had sanctioned a four-month registration period for the examination, noting that this initiative was designed to alleviate pressures on candidates and their families.
He stated that registration would begin on January 26 and end on May 24, with the examination taking place nationwide on June 6.
The registrar clarified that this was in line with the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa’s approval of the 2026 examination and registration framework.
“This extended timeline is a deliberate policy decision to allow adequate preparation, reduce congestion on the registration platform and minimise financial and logistical burdens on parents and guardians,” he said.
The registrar added that the board had bolstered its administrative and technological systems to guarantee that the registration process was user-friendly, accessible, and uninterrupted.
“NABTEB has put in place comprehensive measures to guarantee a smooth and stress-free registration experience for candidates, parents, guardians and schools, while maintaining the highest standards of examination integrity,” Mohammed said.
In the same vein, the chief executive of NABTEB urged prospective candidates to register exclusively through the official NABTEB online portal.
He cautioned potential candidates about using unauthorized agents or third-party platforms.
“All applications must be processed exclusively through NABTEB’s official portal.
“Candidates and guardians are advised to complete their registration well ahead of the deadline to avoid last-minute challenges,” he said.
The registrar reiterated NABTEB’s dedication to professionalism and transparency.
He stated that the board continued to concentrate on broadening access to technical education while ensuring the integrity of its examinations.
Mohammed further urged Nigerians to leverage the prospects presented by Technical and Vocational Education and Training, characterizing it as a route to gainful skills, business ventures, and economic independence.
“Technical and Vocational Education and Training equips young people with practical competencies required for national development.
“Nigerians are encouraged to choose skills, choose opportunity and choose a secure future,” he said.
He added that NABTEB would maintain a close collaboration with the federal ministry of education and other stakeholders to enhance skills-based education and contribute to Nigeria’s human capital development objectives.
