There are collections of NABTEB Agricultural Science Questions in this article. Agricultural Science NABTEB Expo Questions is out now on our website. In this article, I will show you past random repeated questions for free. All you need to do is to stay focused and follow this guide.
NABTEB is one of the examination bodies set up by the Federal Government in 1992 to reduce the burden of conducting examinations, which involve a lot of technical and trade-related practical.
The board conducts the National Technical Examination (NTC), National Business Certificate (NBC) and their respective advance level examinations (ANBC and ANTC).
