 Nationally recognized certification

NABTEB also stated that future versions of the exam will be conducted digitally, making the process more inclusive and efficient.

National Impact: A Shift Toward Economic Self-Reliance

This move aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s broader economic agenda to grow local industries and reduce the outflow of jobs to foreign nationals. Many public and private projects in Nigeria have been staffed by non-Nigerian artisans, especially in construction, electrical, and mechanical roles.

Officials say programs like TVET will reverse that trend by supplying a competent and certified local workforce.

“We’re building a system that makes Nigerian youth the first choice, not the last resort,” said a Federal Ministry of Education representative during the launch.
