About Us

The National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) is an organ of the Federal Ministry of Education which is charged with the responsibility of regulating Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions in Nigeria. The Board was created by an Act of Parliament (Act No. 9 of 11 January, 1977) as a response to the federal Government of Nigeria realization of the need to develop a critical man-power base to execute the nation’s National Development Plans initiated in the 1970s.

HND Admission Portal

The National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) has launched two portals, one for HND Holders who wish to acquire Bachelor's Degree through online Top-Up for one year, with foreign accredited universities. This is to facilitate the progression of HND holders to higher degrees. Attempts in the past to get the National Universities Commission (NUC) to approve a two-year Master of Technology for HND holders in some Polytechnics did not see the light of the day.
