I wonder if it is the NDDC scholarship scheme that is more important or the Welfare and sucess of the NDDC scholars sent abroad. The whole idea of the development commission is defeated right from the briefing day when a backdated letter is given to scholars to find there way to foreign land and take on MSc and PhD degree programs without Mobilisation funds or Upkeep. How can you care about the continuation of the scholarship when the previous scholars are hungry stranded or frustrated due to piles of debts more still even homeless. Tuition fees have been paid yes now you won't let the scholars concentrate and make Good use of the millions that our bad economy made you pay to enjoy the programs at list. What is worth doing is worth doing well there is need for improvement for growth. Gone should be the days of delayed payments and other dramatic attachment to scholarships from Nigeria. PTDF is a good example We can learn from 175 MSC scholarships and 80 PhDs it's quite more than NDDCs 220 in total and their financial value is even higher with there structure and arrangements. The early release of the list of overseas scholars list of 2016 today is commendable. Unfortunately NDDC chose to call the same 2016 scholars of their own scholarship for interviews today. And I hope I am wrong with this NDDC 2016 scholars may get their scholarship award letters and 10,000 transport fare in October 2016 just in line with what happened in 2015 when other scholars from worthy scholarships would have gone into school. We have to stop Using the disguise of scholarship to frustrate the Few among the very embittered Niger deltans who have decided to Read and Not blow down pipelines. #COPIED 7 Likes |

NDDC SCHOLARSHIP : A curse or Blessing? Scholarship schemes are primarily designed for as a means to reward excellence but when that "reward" brings untold pain and suffering then a lot is left to be desired. NDDC 2015 batch of scholars are yet to revive their maintenance fee more than 7 months after commencing studies...some are yet to receive tuition fees talkless of maintenance yet a fresh batch of scholars are currently being prepped to come join the suffering band in foreign lands.. Eddie Gordons promised to answer our queries but messages are sent, he reads and ignores them.. The acting MD gave her word that payments will be unfailingly remitted by second week of June..her word obviously is as good as her integrity!! All messages to her such as the one below is ignored .. If we can't take care of our own what's the essence ? PTDF is another scholarship scheme worth emulating .. What parent sends her kids out without making provisions for them ? We have landlord issues...due to unpaid rent, some of us have access issues due to unpaid tuition fees, we have resorted to working as helps at warehouses and other menial jobs to survive while our books suffer. NDDC....Making a difference? Your guess is as good good as mine . Well if you are a prospective NDDC scholar be fore warned so you don't end up confused, angry and dejected like we are due to unpaid fees, unpaid allowances and lack of communication from those who sent us abroad !!!!!! #COPIED 5 Likes |

IMO: Its for people to prepare themselves ahead of time for the struggle. That doesn't mean you will give up when you are close to the end of the tunnel, just use wisdom. From visa processing to ticket is OYO, I stand to be corrected though. NDDC will eventually pay. So its plan, save, save. #MyTwoCent 1 Like |

truebenny: This is true.I said I will say this later in order not to discourage folks from giving in their best in the process.It is very disheartening to send young minds to a foreign land on a 'supposed' scholarship without giving them a dime for visa application,flight or even money for winter jacket!These are people that you want them to do their best,make good grades and develop the region.A good number of these scholars are lecturers in various universities in the region whose contribution has been great over the years.More painful is the fact that they know that most of these scholars are either from indigent or average homes.The highest act of insensitivity is that they have been saying that they will give us the living expenses 'soon' since over four months.What they did was to pay tuition fees.Abeg,na tuition fee receipt we go chop or use to pay bills? ![]() Now,they want others to suffer same thing.Frankly,I do not wish any of you guys to pass through what we have passed through,that is why some of us have written to the media houses countless times.However,it baffles me that it does not really get the publicity that it needs.Maybe the problem in Nigeria is far worse or their is a conspiracy against it gaining the much needed publicity.Having said that,I will advice that the eventual scholars should brace up for the challenge by arriving here with at least a thousand pounds so that life wont be overly miserable for you here. We chose pen over gun and we were left in the lurch and treated with immense disdain.Aside God,what has kept us has been our collective will to overcome in spite of these difficulties and inhumane treatment from our supposed sponsors...This has been the untold story of 2015 NDDC scholars. 1 Like |

Imagine how frustrating the late payment of the scholarship could be to NDDC scholars. NDDC Scholars should rise up to the challenge and give this unbecoming story the widest publicity including but not limited to doing an open letter to President Buhari and the Senate President. By the way, where are the media peeps_ the acclaimed fourth estate of the realm? This is a sellable one for you. The greatest problem of man is man, but again, man is the solution. We are the ones to make it right. Well wishes. 1 Like |

http://www.nddc.gov.ng/banners/firstquaterreport2016a.pdf As part of the "Highlights" of the acting MD for the end of the quater , she claimed to have made "payments of outstanding tuition and Maintenance fees for 2015 post graduate scholars"... This claim is false and misleading as we are yet to be paid. Why is it so easy for us to claim something we have not done? ?? If she had said "We have made arrangements to conclude the payment of all outstanding monies to 2015 post graduate scholars" she would have gained more respect in my eyes!!! I bow my head in shame !!!! #COPIED 1 Like |

aibaybay:Change is inevitable. It was like that before and it can still be. Dress like a banker and be determined as an advanced insurance personnel. Be cheerful and graceful. Do not claim anything you don't know, it will put you in trouble. For instance, if you have not done java programming and they ask you if you know java programming, just say no.
