Nigeria - The registrar of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Is-haq Oloyede, has said the board is ready to conduct this year’s Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
He stated this during a training session organized for 1,600 staff in Abuja on Wednesday.
Oloyede also appealed to telecommunications companies MTN and Airtel, to cooperate with them to make it a success.
“I and my colleagues in JAMB management have tried our best and have prepared as much as we can. We also believe in our partners, MTN and Airtel which are our two service providers in the conduct of this examination and I want to appeal to them to see this as a national assignment,” he said.
Oloyede added that the CBT adopted in the forthcoming UTME would save the examination body about N5billion.
“Instead of spending billions on our examinations, we can spend millions and achieve better results. That is all I have been struggling to do, to make sure that instead of collecting N7billion and spending N6.8billion in the conduct of examination, we should be able to save at least N5 billion.
“Yes, some people argue that in Nigeria, there are many variables that you cannot determine. I have strong faith in this country and I believe that whatever works in normal places will work in Nigeria”, he stressed.
