Ambassador-designate Donates JAMB CBT Centre To Constituency

Ambassador-designate to South Korea, Senator Nora Daduut, has donated a Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Computer-Based Test (CBT) centre to her constituency to enhance access to examination facilities and address low digital literacy among rural students.

Dadu’ut represented Plateau South in the 9th National Assembly.

She also ordered the immediate training of students drawn from several secondary schools in the community in Information and Communication Technology as part of efforts to equip young people with practical digital skills.

Senator Daduut said the initiative was aimed at empowering children in rural communities with basic computer knowledge, noting that many students still lack the digital competence required to thrive in today’s education system and computer-based examinations.

She explained that the intervention was informed by challenges observed during the last Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, where several candidates struggled to use computer-based facilities due to fear and limited exposure to ICT tools.

According to her, the development underscores the urgent need to expose young people, particularly those in rural areas, to computer education at an early stage, stressing that digital literacy has become essential for modern learning and examinations.

She disclosed that the CBT centre, built in her honour and donated by her grandchildren, is located in Kwala community of Quan’pan local government area of Plateau State.

The senator said the facility would serve not only as a JAMB examination centre but also as a training hub where students and community members can acquire essential digital skills ahead of future examinations.
