Yesterday, Dr. Mohammed-Aminu Mohammed, who serves as both the Registrar and Chief Executive Officer of NABTEB (National Business and Technical Examinations Board), pledged to elevate the examination board’s procedures to meet global benchmarks.
Aminu, who has been newly appointed to the role by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, made this commitment upon taking office at the NABTEB headquarters in Benin City, Edo State.
He expressed his gratitude to the President and the Minister of Education, Dr. Moruf Tunji Alausa, for appointing him and placing their confidence in him to head the institution.
He further stated his dedication to ensuring that all programs and projects led by NABTEB during his tenure help achieve Tinubu’s goals outlined in the Renewed Hope Agenda. This agenda highlights how crucial technical education is for fostering national progress and boosting economic expansion.
He stated that his administration would improve the exam procedures managed by the organization through these strategies: digitizing the examination process, bolstering security protocols, increasing computerized testing, and improving oversight and surveillance.
Other aspects include: routine assessment of exam curricula, enhanced supply chain management, skill development for exam administrators, and active involvement of stakeholders.

We will speed up the digitization of our exam procedures, covering everything from enrollment to outcome management and certification distribution. This move aims to decrease human mistakes, cut down processing duration, and boost the general effectiveness of our workflows.
We will progressively shift a larger number of our participants to examination platforms based on computers, aligning with worldwide tendencies and the rising digital proficiency among our test-takers.
We will enhance our oversight and supervisory systems by increasing the number of monitors, utilizing tech-driven surveillance tools, and working closely with law enforcement entities and local community representatives.
We will implement a structured evaluation of our exam curricula to guarantee their relevance, currency, and alignment with industrial requirements and global benchmarks.
We will update our logistics management system to guarantee prompt delivery of exam materials to every center, irrespective of where they are located geographically.
We will commit to providing frequent training and retraining sessions for examination staff, encompassing supervisors, invigilators, and graders, with the aim of improving their skills and moral behavior.
We will take a more proactive approach in collaborating with educational institutions, technical schools, governmental bodies, and industry allies to tackle systematic issues and develop joint solutions.
These efforts will not only upgrade the technical quality of our exams but also boost public trust in the reliability and significance of NABTEB certifications.
Although recognizing that the caliber of facilities and sufficient financing are key factors for the agency’s operational efficiency and service provision, he emphasized that NABTEB needs to adopt an innovative and forward-thinking approach to tackle its infrastructure and financial issues.
Aminu stated that his administration would implement several strategies to enhance both facilities and funding for NABTEB. These initiatives encompass an infrastructure assessment and restoration program, procurement of contemporary equipment, expansion of income streams, establishment of Public-Private Partnerships, submission of grant proposals, implementation of cost-saving methods, adoption of open fiscal practices, and galvanizing backing from stakeholders.
He made an equal commitment to focus on enhancing employee well-being by improving work environments, offering more opportunities for career growth, establishing fair recognition and rewards systems, ensuring clear pathways for promotions, implementing health and wellness initiatives, and maintaining open lines of communication.
In his welcoming speech on Thursday, Mr. Olugbenga Ojogbede, the Director of Special Duties at the National Business and Technical Examinations Board (NABTEB), referred to the recent appointment of Dr. Mohammed-Aminu Mohammed as the 5th official Registrar and Chief Executive Officer of NABTEB as well-timed.
He observed that this selection reflects the faith and reliance put into his managerial skills.
Ojogbede stated: "Given your extensive expertise, foresight, and commitment, we have full confidence that you will lead this board to new levels of success. Although the challenges before us are significant, your enthusiasm for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) as well as your strategic acumen will undoubtedly help us develop an equitable and trustworthy assessment framework."
As you take office, you embrace a tradition marked by excellence, integrity, and commitment, though faced with significant hurdles. The board boasts an illustrious past in providing top-notch assessments and certifications across various educational stages. We remain dedicated to upholding these superior benchmarks consistent with international leading practices.
We understand that being a registrar/chief executive officer entails considerable challenges and duties. Nonetheless, we have full confidence that your outstanding leadership abilities and commitment to excellence will empower you to overcome these obstacles and propel our board towards unprecedented achievements.
The director of special tasks mentioned that both he, along with other members of the managerial team and employees at NABTEB, were enthusiastic about seeing the constructive influence that the newly appointed registrar/CEO would inevitably have on the board, all stakeholders involved, as well as the upcoming national exams in Nigeria.
Ojogbede genuinely wished that God would keep protecting, guiding, and granting Mohammed the necessary wisdom to lead NABTEB's operations effectively.
