The National Business and Technical Examinations Board (NABTEB) is set to partner with the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN) to boost vocational training and provide housing opportunities for workers.

Mohammed Aminu Mohammed, NABTEB registrar, met with Nasir Yusuf Gawuna, FMBN chairman, at the NABTEB office in Abuja.

The board, in a statement on Wednesday, said the discussion focused on “improving the capacity of workers in various industries” and “exploring ways to provide housing opportunities for workers.”

Mohammed, who was appointed NABTEB registrar by President Bola Tinubu in March 2025, described the visit as a “great development.”
