***As NABTEB Conducts 2026 Colleges Entrance Exams
By Tony Obiechina, Abuja
The Federal Government has successfully conducted the 2026 National Common Entrance Examination (NCEE) for admission into Federal and State Technical Colleges, alongside a pilot Computer-Based Test (CBT) exercise coordinated by NABTEB.
The examination was held nationwide and conducted smoothly across centres, including Federal Technical College, Orozo, and Government Secondary School, Garki, Abuja.
Representing the Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, the Director of Technology and Science Education, Mrs. Patricia Ogungbemi, monitored the exercise and encouraged candidates to embrace technical and vocational education as a pathway to self-reliance, innovation, entrepreneurship, and employment.
She highlighted the opportunities available to Technical College graduates, including access to practical, industry-relevant skills and government-supported initiatives that promote job creation and economic growth.
In a statement by Director of Press and Public Relations, Mrs Folashade Boriowo on Monday, a major feature of the exercise was the pilot CBT session conducted after the conventional examination. The initiative was designed to assess readiness for the future transition to a fully computer-based examination system.
The successful conduct of both exercises underscores the Federal Government’s commitment to digital transformation, assessment integrity, and quality technical education.
