The Federal Ministry of Education has approved the promotion and confirmation of forty-seven (47) senior staff members of the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE).
This was contained in a statement issued by the Head of the Media Unit, Fatima Abubakar, and made available to journalists in Kaduna on Monday.
The statement read, “This decision, conveyed through a letter referenced TEB/VOL.XIX/39 and dated March 13, 2025, was signed by Omotayo F. Adeyemi, the Ministry’s Director of Human Resources.”
It also stated, “This approval was granted in the absence of the NBTE Governing Board to ensure continued institutional growth and operational efficiency.”

However, the request for the confirmation of nine (9) Acting Directors as substantive Directors was made after the candidates had undertaken written examinations and a formal oral interview.
The statement further read, “The Federal Ministry of Education remains dedicated to fostering excellence in leadership and ensuring that proper structures are in place for effective policy implementation.”
The National Board for Technical Education has been without a Governing Board since March 2021, and there is renewed hope that this year, His Excellency President Bola Tinubu will set up one to ensure the smooth running and fast delivery of services by the Board, as provided for in the NBTE,” the statement declared.
