Rivers Gets 14 JAMB Centres …As Exams Begin,’Morrow

The 2016 Joint Admissions and Metrication Board (JAMB) Computer-Based Test (CBT) will commence tomorrow, February 27, 2016.
South-South Coordinator, JAMB, Rivers State, Mrs Beatrice Effa-Nyiam, who stated this in a chat with The Tide yesterday, said she worked hard to ensure that everything is put in place to ensure effective and stress free examinations.
According to her, this year’s examination which will last for two weeks has eight approved additional computer-based test centres in Rivers State.
Initially, we had only eight approved centres in the state, but right now, it has increased to 14 registered centres.
Effa-Nyiam explained further that there are more candidates than there are examination centres, hence ‘the best thing to do will be to group the number of candidates into days within the two weeks the CBT examination is expected to take place”.
“If candidates registered for the CBT at a wrong place or unapproved centres, there is nothing we (JAMB) can do about it”, Mrs Effa-Nyiam said.
The initial eight approved centres for the Computer-Based test examination, according to her are Rivers State University of Science and technology (RSUST), Port Harcourt, University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT), Ken Saro-Wiwa Polytechnic Bori, Federal College of Education (Technical) Omoku, Ignatius Ajuru University of Education (IAUE), among others.
