       The President, Computer-Based Test Centre Proprietors
       Association of Nigeria (CPAN), Engineer Sage Udibuami, has
       described the introduction of Computer-based Test (CBT) by the
       Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), as one giant
       stride, which has drastically reduced the spate of examination
       malpractices in the country.
       Udibuami, who stated this at the association’s maiden press
       conference, held lat weekend in Abuja, blamed the high rate of
       exam malpractices on gross moral decadence.
       He stated that the adoption of CBT as a strategy to eradicate
       all forms of malpractices in UTME exams has impacted positively
       on the nation’s educational sector and beyond, he said the CPAN
       has no regret partnering with JAMB.
       He disclosed that they have successfully conducted the UTME
       exams for three years, he further explained that their decision
       to invest in CBT is to help close the gap of infrastructural
       deficit in various Centres national wide, following JAMB’s
       outcry.
       According to Udibuami, “CPAN has made tremendous impact through
       CBT as exam cheating has been curbed. There’s no more leakage of
       question papers, swapping of answer cheats and above all results
       are now released within 24 hours.” he warned that the body will
       not hesitate to identify and expose any of its members involved
       in exam malpractice.
       He advocated that more CBT Centres should be established in
       Cross River, Jigawa, Borno, Benue, Ekiti and Osun States
       respectively to enable major stakeholders and philanthropist
       make positive inputs as well as maintaining the capacity of the
       CPAN to conduct over 600,000 examination daily for candidates in
       650 centres with no fewer than 250 computers.
