The Federal Government has successfully conducted the 2026 National Common Entrance Examination (NCEE) for admission into Federal and State Technical Colleges across the country, marking another step in its efforts to strengthen technical and vocational education.
The examination was held nationwide and proceeded smoothly at various centres, including Federal Technical College, Orozo, and Government Secondary School, Garki, in Abuja.
Representing the Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, the Director of Technology and Science Education, Mrs. Patricia Ogungbemi, monitored the exercise and commended candidates for participating in the process.
She encouraged students to embrace technical and vocational education, describing it as a pathway to self-reliance, innovation, entrepreneurship, and sustainable employment opportunities.
Ogungbemi also highlighted the benefits available to graduates of Technical Colleges, noting that they acquire practical, industry-relevant skills and can benefit from government-supported programmes designed to promote job creation and economic development.
A key feature of this year’s exercise was the pilot Computer-Based Test (CBT) session conducted after the conventional examination. The initiative was designed to assess readiness for a future transition to a fully digital examination system, underscoring the Federal Government’s commitment to digital transformation, assessment integrity, and quality technical education.
