Oluwashina The Joint Admission and
Matriculation Board, JAMB has said
that the Computer-Based Test
adopted in the forthcoming Unified
Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) would save the examination
body about N5 billion. Registrar of JAMB, Professor Ishaq
Oloyede stated this Tuesday at a
press briefing on the training of its
examination officials in Abuja. Oloyede noted that under his watch,
JAMB would deploy cost-effective
measures to deliver on its statutory
mandate.
“We have tried our best as much as we
can, taking efficiency as the
watchword as far as the conduct of
examination is concerned because we
believe this country deserve the best.
All we have been trying to do is to do things that will not make Nigeria
inferior in the comity of examination
bodies.
All we’ve been trying to do is to
find the most efficient way to conduct
our examinations,” Oloyede said. “Instead of spending billions on our
examinations, we can spend millions
and achieve better results."
