A frontline Aspirant for Ikom/Boki Federal Constituency Seat under the platform of the People Democratic Party Hon Ochang Alvin Ochang is already getting in touch with experts to developed  ICT for Rural African Schools  (I-RAS) With the CBT approach to jamb. 

This is engineered by the fact that most children who are mainly in rural communities in Ikom/Boki Federal constituency now face a new challenge during JAMB as most of them only see computers during the JAMB CBT examination. 

Alvin's blue print is to  set up mobile ICT units to train children preparing for JAMB at no cost, thereby getting them aquatinted with the computers ahead of JAMB CBT and also tackling the challenge of them being novices as it concerns CBT. 

There is every possibility of expanding the project to the establishment of one or two JAMB CBT centers in strategic location(s) within the Constituency. 

He is also ready to explore Community ICT center approach. 

HON. Ochang has also mapped out a strategy for the improvement of agricultural practices for a better economy. 

HON Ochang said he is set to tackle  archaic and  less productive agricultural practices through the provision of improved seedlings to farmers of his constituency. 

He maintained that diversification of our agricultural practices through proper extension services and the inclusion of various other  cash crops outside Cocoa, Oil Palm, Banana and Plantain will make the farmers within his constituency go from one crop to the other depending on the seasons of the said crops there by keeping the economy afloat. 

Furthermore, he explained that from a personal research he and a friend conducted sometime last year they discovered that when Cocoa which is our major cash crop is off season that is the time Cashew will be trending in Kogi, Abuja, Niger among other states. 

Commending Ikom and Boki farmers for their efforts the Banker cum Farmer said provision of improved seedlings and the introduction of new species that conform with our soil type will boost agricultural activities with a positive resultant effect on the economy of not just Ikom/Boki Federal constituency but the entire Central Senatorial District and even the State.
