The Chairman of Ibeno Local Government Area, Hon. Glory Effiong, is set to construct a 300-seater Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Computer-Based Test (CBT) Centre.
Speaking recently during the groundbreaking ceremony, the Chairman emphasised that the project was conceived to tackle the longstanding challenges faced by Ibeno students, who, in time past, have been compelled to travel to distant towns to sit for their JAMB examinations.
Highlighting that the initiative, which complements Governor Umo Eno’s ARISE Agenda, which prioritizes education as the foundation for sustainable development, the Chairman added that her policy, named ‘Orange Economy’, is geared towards fostering human capital development and equipping Ibeno youths with the tools and opportunities required to compete effectively on the global stage.
According to the Chairman, JAMB’s accreditation guidelines state that a standard CBT centre must provide at least 250 functional computer systems with backup units, and she has exceeded this with a 300-seater capacity, putting Ibeno among the few local government areas with a fully compliant CBT centre.
In addition, the centre will be powered by a high-speed dedicated internet connection, a reliable power supply system with multiple backup sources, as well as advanced security to guarantee seamless and uninterrupted examinations.
