The Registrar of Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Professor Dibu Ojerinde has stated that students and candidates who are not computer literate will not be allowed to write any examination coordinated by the board from 2015.

Ojerinde made this disclosure while speaking at the closing ceremony of the 2014 Professor Odusola Ojerinde memorial golf tournament in Otukpo, Benue State. The registrar noted that part of efforts to improve education in Nigeria was the introduction of Computer Based Test (CBT) for all the board’s examinations.

The JAMB boss stated that beginning from 2015, any student or candidate who was not computer (ICT) literate would have no business with examinations conducted by JAMB.

Ojerinde declared: “We are not going to compromise on that.”

Confirming JAMB’s decision, the Chief Press Secretary to the Senate President, Mr. Paul Mumeh, said in order to ensure the implementation of the new plan that JAMB had embarked on the establishment of Computer Based Centres across the country preparatory for all its examinations is required.
