“In this regard, we shall deepen what I once called the trendy tradition.

“When we introduced Computer-Based Test (CBT) at the University of Ilorin for the conduct of our screening exercise in 2007, we had no doubt that it was the right thing to do.

“It is gratifying that JAMB had subsequently transited to the use of technology for the conduct of its examinations and I salute the resolve of Ojerinde in that regard as well.

“We shall partner the relevant stakeholders and develop a robust technology infrastructure that will ease our task."
