Enugu, April 21, 2026.
Dr Moses Ifeanyieze, Principal of Union Secondary School, Awkunanaw, Enugu, has urged JAMB to share its Computer-Based Test (CBT) expertise with other examination councils.
He spoke as WAEC and NECO signalled plans to introduce CBT for their nationwide examinations in the near future.
Ifeanyieze, also an Anglican Venerable, made the call on Tuesday while addressing journalists on the ongoing UTME CBT at his school.
He said WAEC and NECO would benefit by leveraging JAMB’s years of experience, noting improvements recorded annually in the CBT exercise.
The principal added that councils could utilise JAMB’s infrastructure and organised timetable to manage large candidate numbers effectively.
“JAMB, through consistency and experience, has addressed challenges of power supply, impersonation and examination malpractice,” he said.
He noted that candidates taking the same subjects could sit together without compromising examination integrity.
On the ongoing exercise, he said the CBT had proceeded smoothly without any disruption.
“The security arrangement is robust. We have police, NSCDC and DSS personnel on ground.
“Candidates undergo checks at the gate, at the CBT hall entrance, and online slip verification before entry,” he said.
He said candidates commended the organisation and timing of the examination.
“They reported no power failure or system glitches at the centre,” he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports the UTME CBT runs daily from 8 a.m. to about 5.30 p.m. or 6 p.m. in four sessions.
The examination began on April 16 and will end on April 25.
