However, the examination was devoid of hitches at most centres in Ikorodu, near Lagos.
Mr Ayomide Fafiolu, an official at a centre at the Elihans College in Igbo-Olomu, Ikorodu, told NAN that the exercise commenced at 9.50 a.m.

“Most of the candidates arrived early at this centre, a few of them even came as early as 7.00 a.m.

“The candidates proceeded to their respective computer labs to take the examination in an orderly manner.

“We commenced the computer-based test at exactly 11.00a.m.
“We hope to stop the day’s exam at 1.42p.m.The candidates have so far conducted themselves in an orderly way.’’

Fafiolu told NAN that the centre would accommodate more than 200 candidates expected to sit for the CBT at the school conveniently.

“To ensure the exercise is not disrupted by power outages, we have deployed two generators.
“We have electricity technicians and computer engineers on standby to handle any unwarranted situation,” Fafiolu added.
