NCC boost JAMB’s computer examination with CBT centres
IN order to augment facilities for smooth
conduct of Computer Based Tests (CBT)
by the Joint Admission and Matriculation
Board (JAMB), the Nigerian
Communications Commission (NCC) has
built and donated four of such centres to
the examination board.
Acting Executive Vice Chairman (EVC),
Prof. Umar Danbatta, disclosed this
recently when JAMB officials paid him a
courtesy visit in Abuja. The four centers
are located in Kano, Niger, Bayelsa and
Oyo states. The centres are equipped
with computers, printers, other
accessories and Internet connectivity.
Danbatta told the JAMB officials led by
its Registrar, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde that
NCC does every of its activities and
projects in line with international best
practices and “we have a minimum
standard that we maintain for all our
projects and there is no exception.”
“Standards are necessary for projects to
be appreciated,” Danbatta said adding
that NCC is intervening not only in the
provision of CBT for JAMB “but
provision of equipment for tertiary
institutions through Advance Digital
Appreciation Programme for Tertiary
Institutions (ADAPTI).”
NCC in a statement signed by the
Director of Public Affairs, Tony Ojobo,
ADAPTI is aimed at bridging Digital
divide in tertiary institutions through
the provision of computers and other
ICT facilities to equip the lecturers and
other experts in order to improve their
ICT skills.
Earlier in his remarks, Ojerinde said
JAMB appreciates, NCC gesture in this
direction and “we ask for more.” So far,
he said JAMB is also deploying its, CBT
centres in Digital Bridge Institute (DBI),
facilities in Abuja, Kano and Oshodi,
Lagos state and this is in addition to the
over 500 of CBT centres across the
country.
