They should just announce the winners. This suspense is too much abeg!

I think it's time we make a concerted effort and flood their social media handles with enquiries to know what's going on .

It might be published tonight.

Thanks Mr Physics for the update. This is a good development particularly for intending scholars wanting to study in France. We will hear good report from PTDF too very soon.

Good news for France scholars.

...If there is no news this week, there is no scholarship this year.

.

This scholarship is still on suspension till further notice due to Covid-19 pandemic.

So far, I think everything will be next year...

They should just tell us. we'll understand and move on. this suspense isn't healthy.

kanuchibuezeo:

Who told you that and how did you arrive at these hypothesis? The results for 2016 or so was not released until September? A lot can still be done this year.People should just ensure that they are ready with necessary documentations

Suspension till further notice does not necessarily mean next year. These are two different things that are not in anyway related.

exactly my thoughts. Please those that have sources in ptdf should come out and update us on any progress made. Kolladey�� and d rest we are waiting.

The reason why there will be most likely be suspension for those going to UK or other institutions that PTDF will pay is value of money.

How can you pay 20,000 to 35000 pounds fees in without going to the field and practical work. That is insane. You can always get same quality in any online course. The main reason PTDF spnsors scholars is to obtain practical expertise and exposure to give back to Nigeria. So dont blame PTDF. How can you go abroad and live in lockdown. Many student and sponsors have also deferred.

PTDF sponsors hundreds for scholarship every year unlike Mobil, Total or NLNG which sponsor maximum of 10 people in a year or every other year. So dont even compare at all.

Those who chose Germany and France in which PTDF wont pay school fees have a chance to be called.

Some one here said they ptdf agreed to continue the process at their last meeting but they have to seek for approval from the presidency before they proceed. Some one also said they may conduct PhD interview via zoom. I hope they get back to us soon. Time is not by our side. We all need to know our stand. For me, instead of them to conduct interviews via zoom,they could have just choosen the winners by going through there application (statement of purpose and all dat..).after publishing the list,then they check the original documents on induction day. Anyway,let's wait for those that have sources there to come and update us on any development so far.

The number of courses in the UK where they go for field and practical experience during a one-year masters is quite minuscule.

I know of people who went to the UK for masters in engineering and they never told me they went for field work. With the exception. of friends who studied petroleum geoscience and pet engr at Imperial. Most of them only engaged in classes, coursework, seminars, exams and lab work.

Your analysis is quite insightful though but I don't know why that should paralysed everything.

If that is a concern PTDF can liase with the school and request for discount. Furthermore, the remote and online classes should not go beyond first semester which coincides with the end of the year. Full academic rituals should resume by next January.

Maybe this will affect PhDs, but then again the first couple of months into the PhD programme is usually a planning phase. They rarely do serious execution during this period.

It is only the PhD scholarship that's been suspended. MSc list will be released in 2-3 weeks time. Mark my words.

you better be factual.

I actually felt that the suspension didn't affect the MSc scheme when I first read the corresponding press statement because it particularly stated that "the suspension affects the conduct of the second week of the interview scheduled to review shortlisted PhD applicants in Four (4) Centers of Abuja, Kaduna, Port Harcourt and Ibadan", and not the entire programme. However, I couldn't be so sure PTDF realises that implication. We wait anyway.

Do you know that PhD applicants were interviewed at the Bauchi center? How do you go about that?

Enugu too

Bauchi and Nsukka were 1-week centres, where Days 1-3 were for MSc and Days 4-5 for PhD interviews. So yes some PhD hopefuls have already done their interviews. The remaining 4 centres are 2-week centres, with the first week for MSc and the second week for PhD interviews. So the bulk of PhD hopefuls haven’t had their interviews.

I think they should just select the winners by there application (those that were not interviewed)
