The federal government has directed major examination bodies, including the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the National Examinations Council (NECO), to transition fully to Computer-Based Testing (CBT) by 2026. Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, issued the directive during a meeting with chief executives of examination bodies in Abuja. He emphasized the need for Nigeria’s assessment systems to align with global best practices and improve efficiency, credibility, and transparency in national examinations. Prof. Mamman noted that while the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has successfully implemented CBT for years, it is time for other examination bodies to follow suit. “This move will modernize our examination system and ensure Nigerian students are competitive globally,” he stated. The Minister urged the bodies to begin preparations immediately, including upgrading technical infrastructure, training personnel, and sensitizing students and parents ahead of the 2026 rollout.
