Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu
The Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu
Adamu, has commended the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB)
over the establishment of more Computer Based Centres (CBTs) across the
country.
He made the commendation Monday at the
foundation laying ceremony of a 500-capacity CBT centre at the Aminu
Saleh College of Education, Azare.
Adamu, who was represented by the Vice-Chancellor, Abubakar Tafawa
Balewa University (ATBU) Bauchi, Prof. Saminu Ibrahim, said that the two
bodies have created a healthy synergy to carry out the presidential
directive for the establishment of the centres in order to provide easy
access to candidates to carry out JAMB tests using technology.
According to him, the establishment of
the CBT centres has broadened access to technology-based tests as
obtained elsewhere in the world.
The minister said that the innovations
being brought by JAMB have helped in saving a lot of resources for the
government which led to the remittance of billions of naira which has
not been witnessed in the past.
