It will really be WISE if everyone will keep their unsolicited 'sources' and guess works to themselves till we get a VERY concrete info from the Organizers. The incessant disturbances on this group is too much already. Everyone should please have a Solid Information with concrete back up or just remain calm till we hear of any further outcome from our Write ups and tweets.

Apparently some fresh problems have emerged again, the Minister of the Niger delta region Pastor Usani is at logger heads with the Victor Ndoma Egba led management of the NDDC.

Could this Political bickering in Cross River State be the reason for this unending back and forth movement to the releasing the list/ or conducting a fresh application,because I keep getting told the recruitment is still cancelled by the minister in charge and he has ordered a fresh recruitment wherein fresh publications will be made available this week but it seems the management under Victor Ndoma Egba / Nsima Ekere are bent on displaying some level of insubordination ...

It is really getting tiring.

Ovywils:

Knightcrawler1:
Ovy you shouldn't have answered this one. He just reported himself. Apparently all this while his concern was dropping negative news here and not bothering with the solutions suggested. Perhaps his 'connection' can no longer help him he is now asking about tweets. @sethemelia go on twitter and create some buzz. Search for Nddc_scholars17 tweet and retweet anything you see.

Its rather sad and appalling how our leaders in Niger Delta do things. Other Nigerian Agencies that advertised for Scholarship Awards in 2017 had gone on to conclude the process. Yet the only intervention agency in Niger Delta has left us (2017 applicants) in limbo for way too long. We have to intensify our efforts to ensure that we force them to release that list. Enough, lets act now!!!

Hmmmmm. This week whether good or bad we shall know

Jaybadestboy:
I honestly think the nddc foregin scholarship has been scrapped permanently.

The last working day of the week. Wehdonesir

Nigerdcritics:
No it has not been scrapped, it just that we have thieves when are leading the board.
They take 10% for every payment they make in NDDC but for scholarship its not possible because its the only genuine thing NDDC does. Thats why it took them 1yr 8months to pay the first one. and now they have stayed in office going to 3 years without awarding scholarships. They will be sacked in july and the next board hopefully will bring it back.

Jaybadestboy:
When will that happen? Next year? In the next two years or probably in three years time? I certainly doubt this year as they haven't done any advertisement pertain to 2018 scholarship application. This was just a waste of time tbh


Where's the Man that said he will create a thread on Nairaland about the delay? . We are beginning to see the price of silence and indifference.

NDDC Resumes Post-Graduate Foreign Scholarship Programme

Read more at: https://www.gbaramatuvoicenews.com/nddc-resumes-post-graduate-foreign-scholarship-programme/

The Niger Delta Development Commission has concluded plans to resume the Post-Graduate Foreign scholarship to qualified indigenes of the Niger Delta region, after a comprehensive restructuring of the programme. This follows the approval by the Governing Board and Management for the commencement of the 2018 award process. The Commission, while announcing the resumption of the scholarship scheme, conveys its regrets at the cancellation of the inconclusive 2017 award process, noting the inconveniences suffered by students who applied for the scholarship. To provide a fresh start and a seamless process, all outstanding tuition for recipients of the scholarship has been cleared, as part of the restructuring instituted by Management, and calls for new applications from qualified candidates for the 2018 programme. (However, any student who has proof that he has not been paid should feel free to contact the Commission immediately). The advertisement for the new programme will be published in national media, as well as the Commission’s website. Established in 2010, the NDDC post-graduate foreign scholarship is designed to produce top level professionals with technical manpower, capacity and expertise who would compete in the oil and gas industry and other sectors of the Niger Delta region. Worth about $30,000 per annum, it is helping to build a knowledge-based economy that will meet the challenges of globalisation. It covers nine professional disciplines such as engineering, medical sciences, computer science technology, geosciences, environmental sciences, agriculture, environment/oil and gas law, as well as project management. Altogether, 1,409 students have benefited from the programme, including Charles Igwe, whose unique redesign of the Turcot Interchange road, as a Ph.D student of Construction Engineering at Concordia University, Canada, helped save the Montreal Area Municipality over $1 billion, and Mr Ubong Peters, who won a global three-minute thesis competition.
