The Registrar/Chief Executive Officer of the National Business and Technical Examinations Board (NABTEB), Prof. Ifeoma Isiugo-Abanihe, yesterday launched a digital certificate platform to make life easier for the board’s stakeholders.
Isiugo-Abanihe announced this in her welcome address at the opening of NABTEB’s Digital Certificate Platform (NDCAP) at the board’s national headquarters at Ikpoba Hill in Benin, the Edo State capital.
The agency boss described the launch as a proud moment for stepping up its offerings to the Nigerian public.
She said: “One of the major needs of the critical stakeholders, which the board has been striving to meet, even before my tenure, has been that of clearing outstanding certificates.
“It is interesting to note that this problem will soon become a thing of the past, as candidates located anywhere in the world can go to the Internet and have access to their certificates by visiting the NDCAP.
“Employers of labour and tertiary education institutions now have easy access to verify the authenticity of certificates presented by their employees or applicants. This idea to develop a digital certificate platform, which was birthed under my leadership, will, by the grace of God, make life much easier for all concerned stakeholders of NABTEB in Nigeria and the Diaspora.
“The NABTEB digital certificate platform is a technologically-enforced platform that makes it easy and faster for candidates to get access to their certificates through web devices, including mobile phones.
“It allows candidates to make request, make payment and, thereafter, generate and download their certificates. This will, undeniably go a long way to eliminate the problem of having backlog of outstanding certificates.”
