The warning was issued on Sunday in a statement in Ilorin by the Kwara State Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development.
The statement informed the general public that the placement examination (common entrance) into Junior Secondary Schools across the 16 local government areas of the state is scheduled to hold on Saturday, August 19, 2023, beginning at 8 am prompt.
