The
Joint Admission and Matriculation Board has established and furnished a
Computer Based Test centre in Delta State, the Supervising Minister of
Education, Mr Nyesom Wike, has said.
Wike stated this on Friday while inaugurating a new JAMB office complex in Asaba, Delta.
He said that the CBT comprised of three classrooms of 120 sitting capacity each, a server room and offices for members of staff.
He described the complex as a very proactive
step and a phenomenal achievement in Delta, and commended JAMB officials
for the project.
He urged JAMB to upgrade its offices outside its headquarters to CBT status to enable them discharge their services effectively.
Wike said that tax payers, parents and students would benefit from the centres, especially the people at the grassroots.
He urged the state governor, Mr Emmanuel
Uduaghan, to provide at least one CBT centre in each local government
area of the state.
Responding, the governor pledged that more than one CBT centre would be provided in each local government area of the state.
Represented by the Commissioner for Basic and
Secondary Education, Prof. Patrick Muoboghare, the governor said that
Delta was the second to inaugurate a CBT JAMB office in the country.
He said beyond public schools, seven private schools with CBT centres were already in place each with 120 sitting capacity.
