The Registrar/Chief Executive Officer of the National Business and Technical Examinations Board (NABTEB), Dr. Mohammed Aminu Mohammed, has reiterated the Board’s commitment to leveraging technology to improve service delivery and examination administration nationwide.

Mohammed gave the reassurance on Wednesday in Benin, in a statement by the Board’s Assistant Director (Media/Protocol), Uchechukwu Olisah, to announce the commencement of the registration for the 2026 May/June In-School Certificate Examinations and the National Common Entrance Examination (NCEE), across the country.

The registration for the 2026 May/June In-School Examinations will close on Sunday, 31st May, 2026, while registration for the National Common Entrance Examination (NCEE) will close on Sunday, 24th May, 2026.

Dr. Mohammed advised schools, parents, guardians, and prospective candidates to take advantage of the registration window and complete all necessary procedures before the stipulated deadlines to avoid last-minute challenges.

He further disclosed that the registration process has been simplified through designated online portals to ensure a seamless and stress-free experience for candidates and schools.

According to him, for the May/June (In-school) registration, schools are required to request slots through their respective State Offices, capture candidates using the NABTEB Biometric Software, and complete registration via the official portal at mayjune.nabteb.gov.ng.

“For the May/June (In-school) registration, schools are expected to obtain login details through the State Office, log into the School Portal, make payment, and complete registration through school.nabteb.gov.ng.

“Similarly, candidates seeking registration for the National Common Entrance Examination (NCEE) are to request Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) through the State Offices, complete registration on the Common Entrance Portal, and finalize the process through commonentrance.nabteb.gov.ng.

“For the online NCEE registration, candidates may create accounts independently, log in, and complete registration online. Schools may also obtain login details through the State Office to facilitate bulk registration. Payments and registration completion are to be carried out through student.nabteb.gov.ng,” Mohammed said.

The NABTEB Chief Executive also urged candidates and school authorities to strictly comply with all registration guidelines and ensure accurate submission of candidates’ data.

He advised members of the public to contact the nearest State Office or visit the Board’s official registration portals for further clarification and support.
