The Registrar of the National Business and Technical Examinations Board (NABTEB), Prof. Abubakar Rasheed, has called on the Zamfara State Government to relocate candidates sitting for examinations in high-risk areas to safer locations. This appeal aims to ensure the candidates' safety and security during the examination period.
Background
The NABTEB conducts examinations for technical and business education students across Nigeria. Given the security challenges in Zamfara State, the Registrar's concern for the candidates' safety is understandable.
Key Points
- Prof. Rasheed emphasized the need for the candidates' safety and security during the examinations.
- The Zamfara State Government is urged to provide alternative and safer locations for the candidates.
- The NABTEB is committed to ensuring the smooth conduct of examinations, but the safety of candidates remains a top priority.
Implications
The relocation of candidates from high-risk areas would help prevent any potential disruptions or harm to the students. It would also enable them to focus on their examinations without undue stress or anxiety.
What's Next?
The Zamfara State Government's response to this appeal will be crucial in determining the safety and security of the candidates. The NABTEB will likely work closely with the government to ensure the examinations are conducted smoothly and safely.
