The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has said it will adopt the Computer-Based Test (CBT) for its recruitment examination to prevent a reoccurrence of the 2014 recruitment which caused loss of lives following a stampede.

The Public Relations Officer of the service, Chukwuemeka Obua, said this in an interview in Abuja on Wednesday, March 25.
He said the adoption of the CBT is also to be able to test the computer literacy level of applicants.
“This is the process that will be adopted for the recruitment in order to prevent the reoccurrence of the past incident. Four or five computer centres will be designated in each state of the federation.

“Applicants will be divided according to these centres and they will be communicated online individually the date they are required to sit for the examination and the location in order to prevent over-crowding in centres and cases of non-applicants in attendance,” he said.
Obua said the CBT is a global trend accepted and used worldwide to conduct examinations.
He said that applicants will not be required to bring any writing materials; rather, they will only need their password which is the registration number to log into the computer, answer the test and submit online.
