The retreat would, among other things, review, the Board’s performance in the 2023 UTME, overall performance of CBT centres, the effectiveness of e-PIN vending, activities of service providers, effectiveness of its test engines and the helpline desks, monitoring groups and the conduct of its examination officials. Furthermore, the retreat is equally aimed at affording the Board the opportunity to celebrate and honour its retired Directors and staff as well as members of the academia, who recently concluded their sabbatical leave with the Board. These are in addition to the recognition to be accorded the Director, Information and Technology Services, who won the 2021 National Productivity Order of Merit Award (NPOM), finalise the 2022 Annual Report, among other germane considerations.
