The National Business and Technical Examinations Board (NABTEB) has officially announced the results for the November/December 2024 examinations. These include the National Business Certificate (NBC), National Technical Certificate (NTC), Advanced National Business Certificate (ANBC), and Advanced National Technical Certificate (ANTC).
NABTEB’s Acting Registrar and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Nnasia Asanga, shared the details of the results at a press briefing in Benin on Monday.
A total of 44,226 candidates sat for the exams in 1,825 centres across the country, representing 98.87% of those who registered. Out of this number, 67.56% (29,880 students) obtained five credits or more, including English Language and Mathematics.
Additionally, 95.94% of candidates (42,431 students) achieved five credits or more, regardless of whether they included English and Mathematics.
While overall performance remained strong, there was a slight decline in English and Mathematics scores compared to 2023. Last year, 71.27% of candidates passed with five credits, including these key subjects. However, there was a minor improvement in the number of students who passed five subjects without English and Mathematics, rising from 94.82% in 2023 to 94.93% in 2024.
