Is-haq Oloyede, Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), inaugurated a mega Computer-Based Test (CBT) centre in Borno on July 23, 2026, marking a significant investment in educational infrastructure in the region. This facility aims to enhance the examination process for prospective students, reflecting JAMB's commitment to improving access to quality education across Nigeria.
The newly commissioned centre is part of JAMB's broader strategy to modernize the examination system and address the challenges posed by inadequate testing facilities. Oloyede emphasized the importance of this initiative, stating, "This centre will not only facilitate a smoother registration process but also ensure that our students have access to a world-class testing environment." Such advancements are crucial in a country where educational resources are often stretched thin.
Looking ahead, the establishment of this mega CBT centre could serve as a catalyst for further educational reforms in Borno and beyond. By investing in technology-driven solutions, JAMB is positioning itself to address longstanding barriers to education, potentially transforming the future for many Nigerian students.
