By Olufemi Oni, Ilorin

Kwara State Government has fixed Saturday, 10th July, for the 2024 Common Entrance Examination into Junior Secondary Schools across the 16 Local Government Areas of the State.

Accreditation, according to a statement by the Press Secretary,
Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development, Peter Amogbonjaye, would commence by 8:00 am prompt in the various examination centres across the State, warning Principals, Headteachers and pupils to shun all forms of examination malpractices during the conduct of the examination.

“It is, however, instructive to state that the State government has paid in full for the placement examination, as such, any Principal/Headteacher caught collecting illegal money from the pupils would be made to face the full wrath of the law.

“Members of the public are hereby enjoined to note that the examination date has not been shifted, please.

“The affected pupils are also reminded to come along with their screen cards, duly signed by the Principals of the Schools of their choice, warning that no pupil would be allowed to sit for the examination without his/her screen card.

“Principals/Headteachers are advised to bring the contents of this message to the attention of their pupils accordingly,” the statement added.
