Olisah said the registration fees were N22,500 for NBC/NTC, N25,500 for ANBC/ANTC, and N6,000 for the December Modular Trades Certificate Examination.

The NABTEB spokesperson urged candidates, schools, technical and vocational institutions, apprenticeship centres, and others to comply with the approved registration requirements.

He noted that the examinations were part of NABTEB’s mandate to provide competency-based assessment and certification in business and technical education.

According to him, the examinations will contribute to skilled manpower development while promoting technical and vocational education and training as a pathway to economic empowerment and self-reliance.
