The Kwara State Government has again warned principals of both Junior and Senior Secondary Schools in the state to desist from encouraging examination malpractices in their various schools or be ready to face severe sanctions.
The state Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development, Hajia Sa'adatu Modibbo Kawu, gave the warning during a meeting with all the principals in the state held at St Anthony Secondary School, Ilorin, the state capital.
