To be honest I don't think NDDC can conclude the 2018 scholarship scheme by May, going by what the Chairman alluded to. This is already Feb so let's assume another publication for new applicants comes underway earliest today can they possibly conclude by May?. I have my doubts so it is apparent that the 2017 list might not be thrashed. However going with what I heard a while back I was told to prepare for a fresh application. I think they are really confused if you ask me, so applying some amount of pressure on them for the 2017 list should do the trick. I am all in the only problem is Abuja to PH is quite a distance... 1 Like |

sethmelia002: Good thoughts. The solution is to guide their confusion to releasing the list by pressurizing firmly whichever way we can. The logistics challenge of being in PH from farther distances across Nigeria cannot be overemphasized. How about those who may have proceeded for studies self-sponsored with the hope of reimbursement if they make the list as one of the directors in NDDC advised/suggested. Isn't it unfair to all sides? Jst imagine the cost of going over this process again for a task that was resoundly completed. This will be foolish and cost ineffective. Join the chorus to demand for the list to be released. |

My deduction from Ekere's statement on the NDDC site is that, the 2017 process will not be thrown away. However, we should intensify calls for the release of the list. We happen to be interested in pushing for the release of the list, but almost everyone is complaining of distance. I have a proposal which will be effective, if we will buy the idea. Let's contribute and make a paid advert in a national daily, then follow it up with massive social media campaign. This is because whatever we do here on social media,the vast majority who would have been sympathetic to our cause, are not aware.If you look at what it would cost you to pay for your transport and accommodation in PH, and yet be deceived by NDDC officials, or even angered by them,you will see that it will cost us far less to take out a paid advert in a national daily. And it will yeild far more result. |

We have to act fast. Your name is likely on that list that may be thrown away if you do nothing about it. We the young people of this country give up too easily. That is why this politicians, most of which we are better than,continuously rape us and deny us of our rights. You that is ready to give up and write another exams,what is the guarantee that you will make it.Some of us are not making any effort because we are hoping that our godfathers will put our names in the list. On the other hand, simple logic tells me that if the top officials of NDDC are reluctant to publish the list, it means that the list isn't favourable to their lackeys and cronies. As such,we ordinary Nigerians should fight for the release of the 2017 list because we stand a chance. Let us for once hold our leaders to account. We can't continue to fold our hands and wish for change. Changes don't just happen,they are caused. Let's rise up and cause a change in NDDC today. 4 Likes |

amhot: This is welcomed considering how the recent payment has become a huge campaign point for pro govt folks who were embarrased with the debts. Thats just a result to show the extent to which the publicity of the problem affected the already not-so-good image of NDDC even acknowledged by the chairman. can u suggest further / can current scholars link us to their media sources? |
Re: 2017 NDDC Foreign Msc And PhD Scholarship by amhot: 2:18pm On Feb 01, 2018 |
viewingthistopic:All we need do is to take a quarter of a page (inside page) in a widely read newspaper like the Sun,agree on the write up and publish it. The kind of damage it will do to NDDC, and the APC by extension, will force NDDC to bring out that list. We can easily contact national dailies to find out their charges for quarter page, and agree on modalities on how to raise the money. 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: 2017 NDDC Foreign Msc And PhD Scholarship by Nuel1647: 4:00pm On Feb 02, 2018 |
irahub:NDDC contacted me during the week asking me to verify if I had recieved payment, I said No. The next day they asked me to forward my invoice immidately, on or before the 31st of Jan. The school forwarded an invoice to the officer in charge of payment on the 1st of Febuary. However on the night of the 31st NDDC MD claimed to have cleared all outstanding debt on TV. So I am guesing they already have the money to pay me. But as i said before, i was among the 12 UK students that got paid in April last year. Wasn't paid among the current batch. At first I tot it was because they wanted to first settle others outside the initial 12, but now i know its because they didn’t recieve my invoice. In summary it is very unusual for NDDC to ask for feedback from scholars. The fact they did that shows some seriousness on their part to clear the debt (say by the end of January). I beleive they would have gotten feedback from all those who haven't been paid or are being owed 2nd or 3rd year fee, and will pay them. This should bring the payment process to an end. I will keep the house updated, however, I think NDDC will release the 2017/2018 list this month and also commence the 2018/2019 application process by month end or early march. |

Nuel1647: I hope they get to pay another batch of tuition. They have my 3rd invoice after paying for the second invoice this January. The 3rd invoice has long been due since August last year. I think ladybug2 is still being owed too. Not clearing the 3rd tuition balance has same effect as not paying the 2nd tuition. Students get de-register for as low as $500 here. No service is free. |

My people, its hard for me to say this but there will be no 2017 list. I met another friend some days ago who confirmed that people were actually sent outside the country under the scholarship scheme. Some of these people didnt even write the test talkless of going for the interview. MAN KNOW MAN. Its a really sad experience for me because I know how much of my resources that went into the whole process. That said, i wish you all success in your academic pursuits. God bless us all. |

Panda9909: From your statement people were sponsored for the scholarship in which you claim you heard from a source which might be wrong, because the source never showed you an evidence, while you are assuming that there is no list. please, keep your assumption to yourself and let those that did well in the event till keep there expectation high. 5 Likes |

lolololhvfvhb98: And what if i tell you that i know one person that is currently in the UK under NDDC scholarship. What if i tell you that he didnt even take the test yet he was asked to come and collect his award letter in November last year. For you to assume that i didnt 'do well' beats my imagination. Anyways, i thought i should share that. I didnt expect to be attacked for sharing. I was also very disappointed. Please keep your hopes and expectations alive. We live in a messed up country, thats all i will say. |
Re: 2017 NDDC Foreign Msc And PhD Scholarship by Nuel1647: 3:59pm On Feb 10, 2018 |
Panda9909: Just that you have not told us anything. The person you talk about is most likely a previous year scholar that differed his admission. When you do that they give you a new letter. So yes, he wouldn't need to write last year exams because he already did in the previous year. 1 Like |

Mayflowa: I just sent her another email and she responded rather angrily essentially asking 'why am I still complaining!' - this is for PhD scholars still owed one more year or in some other cases, two years. I did not know what to make out of it, to be honest, but I replied back and said to her quite frankly that I (as well as some of my fellow PhD scholars) am still owed one more year tuition; for me, it is my final year; and my school has made it clear that we won't graduate if all outstanding debts are not settled. NDDC is being very tricky with these recent payments they have made and perhaps using this as an excuse to further delay remittance of all outstanding debts. Let's hope to God they do the right thing anyway. Ms Seledi isn't taking too kindly to my emails anymore though. |
