The National Business and Technical Examinations Board (NABTEB) and the National Examinations Council (NECO) have inaugurated a joint technical committee aimed at harmonising their operations and strengthening collaboration within Nigeria’s public examination system.
This was disclosed in a statement issued by NABTEB’s Assistant Director, Media and Protocol, Mr. Uchechukwu Olisah, following a meeting between NABTEB Registrar, Dr. Aminu Mohammed, and his NECO counterpart, Prof. Dantani Wushishi, at NECO headquarters in Minna.
According to the statement, both chief executives led their respective management teams in discussions focused on enhancing examination administration and advancing shared institutional goals.
Mohammed stressed the need for stronger synergy among examination bodies, noting that effective collaboration is essential to national development. He described the meeting as an opportunity to renew and deepen institutional partnerships through constructive engagement.
The NABTEB Registrar also advocated broader coordination among key examination bodies, including the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the National Board for Arabic and Islamic Studies (NBAIS), while recognising their distinct mandates.
In his remarks, Wushishi described the engagement as a significant step towards reinforcing cooperation between the two institutions.
He said NABTEB’s visit demonstrated strong institutional goodwill and reaffirmed NECO’s commitment to sustained collaboration.
The newly inaugurated 10-member technical committee, made up of five representatives from each organisation, is tasked with developing operational frameworks, aligning strategies and recommending implementation modalities to their respective chief executives.
