An education advocacy group powered by the Hon. Shehu ABG Foundation has officially flagged off its 2025 JAMB Computer-Based Test training for 5,000 students across the 23 Local Government Areas of Kaduna State.

The training program commenced on Friday, with students from Zaria, Sabon Gari, and Giwa Local Government Areas participating in the opening session held at Kaduna Hall, Federal University of Education (formerly FCE Zaria).

Speaking during the event, the programme coordinator and consultant, Hon. Solomon Katuka disclosed that the training is scheduled to take place on April 4th, 7th, 11th, and 12th, 2025.

He added that students from Kudan, Makarfi, and Ikara LGAs will have their session on April 5th at Theatre Hall, School of Health Sciences, Makarfi.

Katuka further explained that students from Kaduna South, Chikun, and Kajuru received their training from Monday 7th of April at the Richgate Computer Test Centre, Sabon Tasha Kaduna, while Kadun North and Igabi students held theirs at SMC/Sultan Bello E- library Hall Kaduna.

The program coordinator stated further that the Zangon Kataf, Kaura, Jema’a, and Sanga LGAs will receive training on April 11th, to be held at centers in Kafanchan and the National Open University, Kagoro.

Meanwhile, candidates from Jaba, Kachia, and Kagarko LGAs will be hosted at the training centers in Kachia and Kagarko, respectively, while other local government areas will hold their sessions concurrently across designated venues.

He emphasised that the initiative aimed at equipping students with the technical know-how and confidence to navigate the JAMB CBT system effectively, even as he noted that many students in rural areas are often disadvantaged due to limited access to computers and internet resources.

Katuka stressed, “This training is part of the foundation’s commitment to bridging the educational gap and empowering young people with the tools they need to succeed in their academic pursuits.”

He commended Hon. Shehu ABG for his unwavering support toward educational development in Kaduna State, describing the foundation’s intervention as timely and impactful.

Some of the students who spoke at the event expressed gratitude for the opportunity, stating that the training would boost their readiness and reduce anxiety ahead of the national exam.

Arewa PUNCH reports that the ABG Foundation has continued to champion educational initiatives, especially for underserved communities, positioning education as a vehicle for social change and sustainable development.
