Board (JAMB) said it had approved 30
computer-based centres for the 2015 Unified
Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) in
Lagos State.
Lagos Coordinator of the Board, Dr Beatrice
Okorie said that the development was a great
improvement over the previous years when
there were only five centres.
She disclosed this when asked about the
board’s level of preparedness ahead of next
year’s matriculation examination slated for
March 4, 2015.
The board, had during the 2014 examination
which comprised the Paper Pencil, Computer
Based and the Dual Based modes, declared
that it was migrating fully to an all computer
based test, reports the News Agency of
Nigeria. Now, the coordinator said that about
30 fully equipped centres had been approved
for the conduct of the examination.
“Preparations are in top gear for next year’s
matriculation examination. Everything is
going as planned.
“We have been visiting various centres
around the state to inspect what are on
ground.
“So far, we are satisfied with about 30
centres that have been able to meet our
requirements as they will ensure the smooth
take off of the conduct of the examination.
“We will also like to say that more centres
are still going to be approved and a case
where there is an outright absence of the
backups or the capacity for the existing ones
are below expectation, we will advise for an
immediate installation or a replacement.
Okorie said that there was no going back
from the full migration to the Computer
Based Test (CBT) mode.
