According to Oloyede, the initiative is such that it would allow candidates to take the examinations on their mobile phones.
The JAMB boss noted that the board has continued to spend huge amounts of money on buying computers use in the conduct of examinations, hence the need for the initiative.
In the presentation unveiled by Oloyede, the board said,” On the way forward, we are looking at BOYD – the direction for JAMB Students to bring their telephones.
