The Senior Special Assistant on Digital Innovations to the Kwara State Governor, Hon. Kayode Ishola, has commended the Executive Chairman of Isin Local Government Area, Hon. Benjamin Olarewaju Jolayemi, for the construction and commissioning of the Isin Computer-Based Test (CBT) Centre in Owu Isin.
The facility was officially commissioned on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, by the Executive Governor of Kwara State, His Excellency, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq CON. Fully equipped with over 300 computers and powered by a sustainable solar energy system, the center is designed to support seamless digital examinations and online registration services.
Delivering his remarks at the event, Hon. Kayode Ishola lauded the council chairman for keying into the vision of the state government to democratize technology and extend digital infrastructure across every corner of the state.
“What we are witnessing in Owu Isin is a direct manifestation of His Excellency, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq’s vision to make innovation accessible to every Kwaran, regardless of their location,” Hon. Ishola stated.
“I deeply appreciate Hon. Benjamin Olarewaju Jolayemi for extending this digital vision directly to the grassroots. This facility will not only alleviate the stress of our students traveling long distances to write the UTME and access online services, digital literacy programs but it also serves as a sustainable source of Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) for the local government.”
Hon. Ishola added that the solar-powered CBT centre stands as a benchmark for local government-led digital initiatives, demonstrating how grassroots leadership can drive technological adoption, empower young people, and strengthen local economies.
The Office of Digital Innovations reaffirmed its commitment to supporting similar technology-driven developments across all 16 local government areas to ensure Kwara State remains a leader in Nigeria’s digital economy.
