Iseyin, Oyo State, was abuzz on Wednesday February 11, 2026, as a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Ahmed Raji, formally handed over a Grade A, 250-capacity Computer-Based Test (CBT) centre to the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB.
The facility, alongside renovated classrooms and administrative offices at Raji Oke-Esa Memorial Comprehensive High School, was executed by the Raji Oke-Esa Foundation as part of Raji’s sustained intervention in the education sector, which is a boost to digital examination infrastructure in the South West of Nigeria.
Receiving the centre, JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, described the donation as a strategic contribution to national educational development.
He noted that while JAMB’s transition from paper-based examinations to computer-based testing has enhanced transparency and efficiency, it has also created infrastructural demands in certain areas.
According to Oloyede, the new CBT centre will expand access to national examinations for candidates in Iseyin and neighbouring communities, reduce travel-related stress and costs, and position the town as an emerging hub for digital-based assessments.
He also presented a letter of commendation from the Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, who urged Nigerians to emulate Raji’s commitment to advancing education.
Governor Seyi Makinde, represented by the Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Mr Segun Olayiwola, expressed profound appreciation to the donor, noting that the intervention aligns with the state’s agenda to strengthen educational access and digital infrastructure.
Sen. Abdulfatai Buhari (APC–Oyo North) praised Raji’s integrity and dedication to community development, while former Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission, Prof. Adeolu Akande, described the project as timely in bridging digital gaps within the education system.
Former Iseyin Local Government Chairman, Alhaji Saheed Yusuf, said the facility would ease the financial and logistical burdens previously faced by candidates travelling long distances for examinations.
