Osaseyi Foundation rolls out support to Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) Candidates in Ijumu Local Government Area of Kogi State, to aid those with poor computer skills gain stability before commencement of the examination slated for May 6th to 16th, 2022.
It is no longer news that constant failure in UTME yearly is largely attributed to candidate’s lack of basic computer knowledge. Hence the need for candidates to get familiarized with basic know-how and what is required of them before entering into the Examination Hall.
The Computer-Based-Test (CBT) put together by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is to checkmate the rigorous procedure attached to the analogue paper method employed years ago. But due to Nigeria’s slow pace of being a technology friendly country, candidates have been finding it difficult to adjust to the new norm.
This is why the intervention of the Osaseyi Foundation to train over three hundred candidates across Ijumu Local Government Area in three major CBT centers in the Local Government Area; Dabats Computer Center Ayetoro Gbede, Civic Center Iyara, and OEPYO ICT CENTER Ogidi, has been able to address the usual failure before exam and computer phobia faced by UTME Candidates in Ijumu Local Government Area. The foundation has therefore successfully completed the training of not fewer than four hundred candidates in Ijumu Local Government Area, on basic computer knowledge to help conquer the CBT phobia.
The beneficiaries of this scheme expressly appreciated the management of Osaseyi Foundation for facilitating and sponsoring the training, and further described the initiative as a life saver.
The Chairman of the Foundation, Mr Richard Osaseyi through the Supervisor for Education Ijumu Local Government Area, Mr Olorunjuwon Benjamin Fortune and Mr Wale Olumobi the Special Assistant on ICT to the Executive Chairman of Ijumu Local Government Area, eulogies the beneficiaries to give all they can to scale through the Examination successfully, and to leverage on the knowledge already impacted on them during the six days CBT training by the Foundation across major centers in the Local Government Area.
Mr Richard Osaseyi also commended the efforts the Executive Chairman, Hon. Taofiq Isah for his reposition agenda, and for making education a top priority in his administration, nothing that the training facilitated by his Foundation, the Osaseyi Foundation, was originally a pet project of his good brains.
