The Federal Government has flagged off the 2025 Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) entrance examination into Federal Technical Colleges nationwide.
A total of 30,000 candidates participated in the examination, which aims to equip Nigerian youth with industry-relevant skills and reshape the country’s approach to human capital development.
The Registrar and Chief Executive Officer of the National Business and Technical Examinations Board (NABTEB), Dr. Mohammed Aminu Mohammed, described the examination as a strategic tool for determining individual strengths and aligning them with specific trades.
In a statement, the Registrar noted that the examination will help identify candidates’ skills and match them with suitable vocational areas such as electrical installation, tailoring, or solar maintenance.
Mohammed emphasized the significance of TVET in reversing Nigeria’s overdependence on imported skills, products, and services, pointing out that artisans, craftsmen, and technicians are the backbone of any country’s GDP.
He added that the era of paper qualifications is gradually phasing out. The focus now is on “what can you offer?” and the government aims to create an enabling environment for certified technical talents to practice and thrive locally.
Mohammed further stated that the government plans to provide starter packs and potential access to business loans for students who complete the TVET program. He added that the initiative is not just about skills acquisition but also about job creation and economic empowerment.
According to him, candidates can either be employed by the government or establish their own businesses with support structures in place upon completion.
A selection committee comprising principals of Federal Technical Colleges, NABTEB officials, and representatives from the Federal Ministry of Education will oversee the admission process. The committee will determine which candidates proceed to the next stage after the release of examination results within 21 days.
The NABTEB Registrar also revealed that the government plans to digitize the examination process, making it paperless. The initiative is expected to streamline the process and improve efficiency. The government is committed to providing a platform for Nigerian youth to acquire practical skills and become productive members of society.
