The National Business and Technical Examinations Board (NABTEB) has released the results of the 2026 June/July National Business Certificate (NBC) and National Technical Certificate (NTC) examinations, recording an 81.24 per cent pass rate.
The Registrar and Chief Executive Officer of NABTEB, Dr Aminu Mohammed, announced the results on Wednesday at a press conference in Benin, Edo State.
According to him, 79,503 candidates out of the 97,863 graded obtained at least five credits, including English Language and Mathematics.
The performance represents a significant improvement from the 68.18 per cent recorded in 2025, when 61,104 candidates obtained five credits and above, including the two core subjects.
Mohammed also disclosed that 89,580 candidates, representing 91.53 per cent, obtained five credits and above, with or without English Language and Mathematics. This was higher than the 83.28 per cent recorded in 2025.
A total of 100,069 candidates registered for the 2026 examinations, while 97,867 sat for the examinations, representing a 97.80 per cent attendance rate.
The NABTEB chief further revealed that 24,128 candidates, representing 24.65 per cent of those graded, were certified as craftsmen.
He said the results were released 52 days after the last examination, describing the turnaround time as part of the board’s commitment to timely service delivery.
On examination malpractice, Mohammed said 847 candidates were involved in 1,554 incidents, representing 1.55 per cent of candidates who sat for the examinations.
He noted that the figure was lower than that recorded in 2025, attributing the decline to measures introduced by the board to curb examination malpractice.
The registrar advised candidates to check their results only through NABTEB’s official result-checking platform and warned against fraudsters claiming they could alter or upgrade examination results.
He stressed that no individual had the authority to change a legitimately awarded result.
