Morning everyone, I am new to nairaland and i stumbled on this thread earlier this week. I got the text but could not make it today due to a family emergency. Can someone pls give details about the briefing and also i need a phone no and the email address of the Director of Education to explain my plight. I kept calling the number in which i got a text from but the guy at the other end hasnt been helpful, i sent a mail to Mrs Sotonye Ordor but still no reply.
I am a PHD recipient of the foreign scholarship. Anyone there pls can help ask for a guy called Okukunu from cross river state also a PHD recipient, i lost his contact but i am very sure he got it too. Can you pls ask him to call a certain lady called Queen.

Kind Regards

It would be great if those that attended can brief the house on what was said. At least it would help dispel rumors. I am interested in knowing the following:

1. Did NDDC specify that they would ONLY sponsor people to certain schools?

2. What does the award cover? Does it cover for accommodation, living expenses, etc. (Will accommodation, living expenses, etc be part of the $30,000 or separate?) Does NDDC pay for flight ticket to-and-fro?

3. What happens if the school fees of your school is more than $30000?

4. Is there a time frame in which one must use the scholarship? Can people whose schools have withdrawn their admission (because they didnt pay before the deadline) use this year's award for next year's (sept 2015) admission?

5. Please feel free to provide other info you think anyone should care about.

Thanks for sharing.

Oh God help me to be one of d nddc scholars next time

Let me attempt to answer some of the questions;

1. Nddc did say one must attend any particular schools. But it has partnership agreement with som uk schools , so applying to these schools will result in speedy issuance of admission and CAS also there's a reduction in fees for nddc scholars in schools.

2. The award amount is just $30k and you get it when you arrive the institution of your choice. they'll pay it into your school account number and deposit the remaining in your foreign account u will open on arrival in that country. so u fund your flight fares.

3. if your school fees is more than 30k its upto u to fund the remaining balance or u can simply change school.

4. there's a snag here. They actually said u can defer till September "15 when they were talking but on issuing the letter one sees that "you forfeit this scholarship after 6 months if not used". But afterwards they announced that one can come to their office for a fresh letter as the one they've just issued would have expired by September 2015.

So one can decode that they're expecting us all to leave in January 2015.

I hope this few answers help.

Thanks njoryor for you detailed reply.

Just to clarify one of your points; did they say how scholars should contact them after obtaining another admission for January? I don't think several trips to their office is ideal.

I can recall the director saying that before we leave the hall we will be given a working email and contacts by the directorate of education but I doubt if anyone remembered to ask for it after the euphoria of receiving the letter. I think the next moment to ask for it is when we'll submit the acceptance form.

Hello great scholars,

I'm currently in PH. I dint get an invite but I came cos my "source" asked me to do so and guess what?? I received my letter today.
I discovered that the director of education deliberately refused to send notification to people, it took the anger and intervention of the MD to get him to send invites to the 2014 scholars. The MD was really angry with him and still, I discovered that a lot of people from some states especially Akwaibom are yet to get their invites.
I'll advise that you come to the NDDC HQ and check for your name to see if its on the list.
All the best everyone....
