Standup9ja: JAMB vows to tackle challenges at CBT centers
The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), at the
weekend rose from an emergency meeting with heads of Computer Based Test (CBT)
centres in Jos assuring that it will tackle all challenges during the May 13th
examinations as soon as they become visible.
“Nigerians should note that there could be one or two
challenges in some centres; but the most important thing is our ability to
urgently address such when they rear their face,” a statement signed by the
board’s Head, Media and Publicity, Dr. Fabian Benjamin stated.
The statement made available at the end of the meeting also
noted that, “We will do our very best and where there are challenges, we will
work without hesitation to ensure that it is corrected immediately for candidates
to have a smooth examination. Nations are grown through innovation and there is
no innovation if there is no trial.”
It noted that JAMB concluded the sale of 2017 Unified
Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) application document recording over
1.7 million candidates at the close of the site by 12 midnight on Friday adding
that the disclosure of the actual number of candidates registered is a clear
invitation for the public to know what the Board has realised from the sale for
this year.
Dr. Benjamin however told Daily Trust on phone that after
several briefings with the CBT centres to certify their readiness for the
examinations, the board had asked centres that had some challenges during the
mock exercise to rectify them before tomorrow or face being deleted.
