  "account": "The Lagos State Scholarship Board has announced that the Computer-Based Test (CBT) for shortlisted applicants under the 2025/2026 Scholarship Awards will soon take place. The Board made this announcement via its Facebook page, urging applicants who participated in the 2025/2026 indigene verification exercise to stay vigilant for their CBT invitation emails. The CBT represents a crucial phase in the scholarship selection process and allows eligible applicants to showcase their knowledge and aptitude.\n\nTo prepare for the examination, applicants should closely monitor their emails for official CBT invitations, carefully read and understand all instructions before starting the test, and arrive early at their designated venue to avoid delays. Proper attire and orderly behavior are expected throughout the examination process, as candidates must adhere to the instructions provided by CBT officials.\n\nApplicants should avoid bringing prohibited materials or electronic devices into the examination hall. The Board has warned that any participant caught engaging in examination malpractice or impersonation will be disqualified and may face referral to security authorities. The Board also cautions against fraudulent individuals who may try to solicit money or personal information by claiming to assist applicants in securing the scholarship. The Agency explicitly states that it does not authorize any individual to demand payment for participation in the CBT or scholarship award.\n\nApplicants should only rely on information disseminated through the Board's official communication channels and refrain from paying anyone promising to influence their selection. The Lagos State Scholarship Board remains committed to promoting quality education in Lagos State.",
