The Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC), Mr. John Kennedy Opara, has said

The Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC), Mr. John Kennedy Opara, has said that the Commission had made adequate preparation to ensure a transparent online medical examination. He disclosed this during the online examination for the selection of Doctors, Nurses Pharmacists and Laboratory Scientists for the 2015 Pilgrimage Exercise to Israel, Rome and Greece at the JAMB Computer Base Test Centre Bwari, Abuja.

He stated that it is the hope of the Commission that the medical online examination will ensure the development of a credible system to get the best medical personnel for the yearly pilgrimage exercises. According to him, ‘medical personnels can only be disqualified when they fail the medical exam’. Hence, the need to put in place a system that guarantees each candidate equal opportunity to pass or fail is best as it is based on their efforts.

The NCPC helmsman informed that this is the first time the commission is organizing the online medical exam and it is a legacy his administration hopes to leave behind. 

Mr. Opara encouraged all candidates to give their best as they write the exams while wishing them success.

The Director Psychometrics Exams JAMB, Mr. Kunmi Popoola while addressing the media said the best assessment techniques will be used in conducting the exams to ensure transparency. 

He stated that the results would be known immediately after the exams and candidates would know if they were successful or not, as the results will be reliable and credible. 

A total of one thousand, three hundred candidates sat for the exams across the six geopolitical zones in the country and those who pass will be the medical personnel for this year’s pilgrimage exercise.
