Minna— The Registrar/Chief Executive of Joint
Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB,
Professor Dibu Ojerinde, has said there is no
going back on the use of Computer Based Test,
CBT, by JAMB’s candidates with effect from next
year.
The registrar, who was answering questions
from journalists in Minna, Niger State, yesterday,
said the board had been sensitising all
stakeholders since 2007 on going digital, saying
students concerned and government were
already aware of the move and thus, the
pronouncement could not be new to them.
He said even with the epileptic power supply in
the country, the new policy could not be faulted
because power supply could not hinder the
implementation of the policy.
He said: “Power is not a problem. If you want to
take part in this process, you must have all the
facilities including adequate power supply. You
must have an inverter.”
Ojerinde, who was in Minna for the second
technical committee meeting on 2014/2015
admission to degree, Nigeria Certificate in
Education, NCE, and National Diploma, ND, and
awarding institutions said 617,000 candidates
sat for CBT while many others opted for the
paper and pencil test, adding that with effect
from next year, the examination would go full
blown CBT.
He called on the state government to build and
operate computer centres in at least the three
senatorial districts of the state for use by
candidates.
Governor Muazu Babangida Aliyu of Niger State,
who was represented by Commissioner of
Education, Alhaji Danladi Abdulhameed,
commended the registrar for his consistency in
initiating efforts aimed at curbing examination
malpractices, improving processes of
examination administration and overall
development of the educational sector.
