The Bauchi deputy governor said the measure became necessary because the examinations had become more database focused in the recent times.

Media reports reveal that Nuhu Gidado, Bauchi State deputy governor, has said the state government will establish three Information Technology Centres (ICT) in the three senatorial zones to take care of secondary schools’ examinations.

Gidado made this known when he addressed the state officials of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Bauchi on Friday, according to Nigeria CommunicationsWeek report.

Gidado also reiterated that the state's educational system would be strengthened under the present administration to meet up with national standards.
