The Federal Government has insisted that it would go ahead with the transition to Computer-Based Testing (CBT) for the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the National Examinations Council (NECO) by 2026.

The Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, disclosed this while appearing on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief on Tuesday, May 6.

His comments came amid growing concerns about the integrity of public examinations, especially following the release of statistics from the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), which revealed that over 1.5 million of the 1.95 million candidates scored below 200 out of 400.

Personally i think it's not yet time for this. Look at what is going on with Jamb. Most students where complaining about the computer, some could not even write cause the system went off, some had network issues for hours.
