VARSITIES EMBRACE NABTEB CERTIFICATE

As part of measures aimed at enhancing the admission of holders of NABTEB Certificates to tertiary institutions in line with the Federal Government’s directive, the Registrar/Chief Executive of the board, Prof. David Awanbor has begun enlightenment tour of selected Universities across the country. The main purpose of the tour is to convince university authorities about the acceptability of NABTEB Certificates for admission into relevant courses offered in their institutions.

The first leg of the enlightenment tour took the NABTEB boss and his management team to universities in the South Western geopolitical zone of Nigeria. Among the universities visited by Prof Awanbor and his team were Nigeria’s premier University (the University of Ibadan), the Obafemi Awolowo University (formerly, University of Ife), the University of Lagos, the Lagos State University and the University of Benin. It would be recalled that the National Council on Education (NCE) has directed the National universities Commission (NUC) to sanction any university that discriminate against the National Technical Certificate (NTC) and the National Business Certificate (NBC) awarded by NABTEB, for admission purposes. Feelers from Universities across the nation indicate that universities that were hitherto reluctant have started admitting holders of NABTEB certificate for the pursuit of relevant courses.

The second leg of the enlightenment tour is expected to take Prof. Awanbor and his management team to Universities in the remaining five geo-political zones of the nation.
