Senator Sunday Katung, representing Kaduna South Senatorial District, is overseeing the construction of a 700-capacity Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Computer-Based Test (CBT) centre in Zonkwa, Zangon Kataf Local Government Area. Announced during a project inspection on Saturday, the initiative aims to bridge the digital divide and equip youths in the region with relevant skills for the modern economy.

The centre will also function as a CBT facility for examinations conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board and the West African Examinations Council, serving as a hub for digital learning and skills development across the eight local government areas in the senatorial district. Site Engineer Haruna Daniel confirmed the commitment to delivering a quality project on time.
