JAMB is seeking more JAMB CBT centres
for the 2015 Computer Based Test. The Coordinator, Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board, Lagos Zone, Alhaji Kamaldeen Adedeji, has urged
stakeholders to collaborate with the board to prepare more centres for
its Computer Based Test in 2015.
JAMB Seeks More Centres for 2015 Computer Based Test
Adedeji told the News Agency of Nigeria
in Lagos on Monday that the board had already started making moves that
would ensure there were equipped centres for the tests by 2015.
He noted, however, that the
collaboration of stakeholders was necessary to ensure that enough
centres with necessary logistics were in place before the 2015
examination.
JAMB had said that it would in 2015
phase out the Paper/Pencil Test and the Dual Based Test modes of its
Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination
According to him, there is no going back
on the board’s plan to migrate fully to the computer-based platform by
2015 as it has started inaugurating more centres across the country.
He said, “This examination has come to
stay because it is the future. We are not going to take anything to
chance and that is why we have embarked on this project of building more
centres for the examination in various states.
“What we have put in place will pass for
model centres that have all it takes to contain a sizeable number of
candidates, as well as back up, to ensure uninterrupted conduct of the
examination.”
The JAMB official also called on stakeholders to join hands with the examination body to establish more centres.
“All we are soliciting is to get
stakeholders across the country to join hands with the board in building
more of such centres to ensure the conduct of a hitch-free
examination.” (Source: NAN)
