Bako who made the remarks after inspecting CBT centres, said examinations were being held across three designated centres, including Kaduna State University (main campus) for Zone 2, Federal College of Education, Zaria for Zone 1; and Kaduna State University’s Kafanchan campus for Zone 3.
The Head of Service commended the Governor Uba Sani for supporting and strengthening the state civil service through training and capacity building since he assumed office.
