Uba Sani, for providing security support for candidates in crisis-prone areas to sit for the ongoing NABTEB examinations.<\/p>\n<p>Mohammed, who spoke, shortly after monitoring the ongoing examinations at Government Technical College (GTC), Malali, Kaduna, expressed confidence that more candidates will embrace NABTEB examinations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a national examinations like any other. It began on June 16 and will run until July 14, 2025. Over 89,000 candidates are sitting for the exams across the country, and we are monitoring compliance and standards closely.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNABTEB\u2019s exams are at par with WAEC, NECO, and NBAIS. It is left to all schools to take advantage of our standard examinations.th Mohammed praised Governor Sani for relocating students from security challenging areas to Kaduna to write their papers.<\/p>\n<p>He said the governor took proactive steps by moving candidates from Kajuru Local Government Area\u2014a known flashpoint of insecurity\u2014to safer centres in the city without any formal request from NABTEB.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI must sincerely commend the Kaduna State Government. Without any prompting, the governor ensured all candidates from Kajuru were safely moved to write their exams here in Kaduna city.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a commendable effort and an example worthy of emulation by other states,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He described the conduct of the exams at the Kaduna centre as credible and orderly, praising the school\u2019s exam officials for their commitment to maintaining integrity.<\/p>\n<p>The NABTEB boss, however, raised concern over the poor infrastructure at the Malali centre, where he observed some students writing their papers while standing or squatting due to lack of seats.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is worrisome to see students writing exams in such conditions. This kind of situation creates room for malpractice. But I\u2019ve spoken with the Principal, and we are starting a working relationship to address these issues. By this time next year, I believe this centre will witness significant improvement,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Responding to reporters, the Principal of Government Technical College, Malali, Mr. Auta Monday, confirmed that 169 candidates were registered at the centre this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo far, the exams have been going smoothly despite our infrastructure challenges. We don\u2019t have enough seats, but the materials arrived on time, and we\u2019ve taken charge of the process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He described the Registrar\u2019s visit as a \u201cblessing,\u201d saying it provided valuable guidance on innovation and development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe advice to establish a Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) centre in our college is a welcome idea. We\u2019ve also embraced the push to upgrade our computer centre in preparation for future computer-based testing. We won\u2019t miss this opportunity,\u201d the Principal said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
