However, he said, of the number, 3,963 teachers fail the competency test.

“And those that failed are 3,963 representing 37.1 percent. You will agree this is a very good result.

“All the cases of examination malpractices that were reported were treated accordingly all over the country at the management level. And the results cancelled as punitive measures. All the cases were identified or recorded because we have evidence against them.”

The registrar noted that the Council had been confronted with some challenges because of the nation’s transition in power.

However, he maintained that TRCN was able to achieve its set goals for the year 2023. He added that the over N150 million debt he met when he assumed office as Registrar had been cleared.

Reeling out some of its achievements in 2023, he stated that PQE was conducted in over 100 institutions. Six batches of PQE were conducted online for Nigerians in the diaspora and results were released immediately.

Also, inductions were carried out in over 100 institutions, and appreciable progress was made with development partners on professional standards.
