I was at an NDDC state office today and I met with some official who told me that they will all be in PHC this week to sort out the scholarship issue. Lets still be hopeful guys.

choicecad:


Good thoughts to be hopeful guys. But the truth remains that they are not favourably disposed on releasing the list any longer. Prepare for another exercise.

Ovywils:
We've heard that before. We also heard that they had spent our tfare...
Well, we choose to prepare for briefing not another exercise.

choicecad:


Sorry we all need this fund. The truth is bitter. It's not about what we choose but what the Board wants.. Watch and see. Prepare for another exercise.

lolololhvfvhb98:


Take your chair and sit down, while you watch the list come out this month

Panda9909:
I dont think we would need to prepare for a fresh exercise. Why i say this is because last year, as at 27th of April, they had already advertised for new applications.

For those who are still skeptical about the release of the 2017 list of NDDC scholarship awardees, I want to remind them based on the statement of the MD/CEO of NDDC, Mr. Ekere that by May this year every issue relating to the award of scholarship will be concluded in order for scholars to proceed for studies by September; even though he did not categorically stated whether it is 2017 or 2018 scholarship programme. However, going by the fact that the NDDC 2018 scholarship programme has not been advertised, it then implies that the 2017 programme must be concluded by May this year. Moreover, NDDC suspended the release of the 2017 list of awardees in order to complete the outstanding payments for previous awardees which I understood was done by January this year. So, I don't see any reason why they should cancel the 2017 programme to commence 2018 programme. It doesn't make any sense; unless they have concluded to totally abolish the scholarship scheme. The delay has always been the overall culture of the agency from time immemorial; but, delay is not denial.

Nuel1647:


Not every scholar was paid in January, quite a few haven't received a single payment. I am one of them.

Some scholars that were paid in January still have a second outstanding fee.

This delay is exceptional, there has been none like this in NDDC history. Even for NDDC this delay is unusual.

However, there is no indication that the process would be cancelled. It looks like payments of the remaining scholars and those that have a second outstanding fee and the release of the list would be concluded this month. There seems to be an aoura of confidence in NDDC’s communications that was absent before last month.

I guess we would have a clearer picture by next week.

please this is funny and it seem to look like a very bitter pill too hard to swallow, but it remains the truth, unless if we can press on them through any means possible to reverse on it, better for us, from a very reliable source I was told that, they have cancelled the 2017/2018 NDDC Foreign Screening.

please nobody should mix up faith with this one, whether U believe it or leave it, I have been hopeful and prayerful waiting for the list to come out soon until I got this shocker yesterday. although I have been silent on this platform reading every comments that gives hope!, the arguments, criticisms, names calling etc....
I actually wish if I should have a news for this platform it should be a good one, but here is the irony.
funny enough the source also told me that in no distances time, they are planning to advertise for 2018/2019, which I told him rubbish.
in as much as i am concerned NDDC doesn't own 2018/19 prospective applicants anything or apologies , so why looking forward without addressing what's before them.
He also said the Transport allowance was our right that's why they couldn't denied us from it.
Shame to NDDC management's and the entire state's Reps, for you all are complete disgrace to all of your member state.

lastly I pray that, for this your decision and false hope you given to us for over a year plus, You too shall also not find peace.
Black man!, ijaw man!! Niger delta people!!! which way to go.....

Well, regardless of the source of the information; whether reliable or unreliable, I think it is the responsibility of the management of NDDC to formally publicize the cancellation of the 2017/2018 scholarship scheme with REASONS the same way they publicize the temporary suspension of the exercise in order to clear the backlogs of debts owed earlier scholars (which they have not concluded), in the national dailies last year. Not until this is done, there is no amount of action staged by the participants in the last year's scholarship exercise that can be justifiable within the existing laws of the country. We all have are various constituency representatives in both the state and federal houses of representatives + the senate. Immediately the commission announces the cancellation of the 2017 scholarship programme without viable reasons, we should quickly send petitions to our various representatives and senators and see if they will just write-off the petitions without thorough debate on the contending issues. Thank God they recognised that the transport stipend is our right; they should also recognise that it is our right and their duty to inform us on the REASONS behind the "Cancellation". For now, lets just cross our legs and wait until the cat is formally let out of the bag.
