Means only one out of your three referees have sent back their reference to commonwealth, try to contact those that are yet to send theirs.

Hello mods: Fynestboi, olawalebabs, Richiez please could you kindly move this thread to the front page?

We need as many views as possible, so that people who have gone through this process in the past would share their experience and advise with us.

Thanks a lot

PhilJames:

Sorry for the misinformation, it was not intended.

@Chigojude thanks for the correction.

khattab008:


Don't know if they will accept it, will mail them tomorrow and see what their response will be.

Me too. Am afraid they might not reply the mail though...I mailed them sometime ago and never got a reply. I'll try out their numbers too sha

Hello room
Congratulations to all that completed their forms and made it thus far.
Please I want to know if anyone has got a contact at either federal medical centre or national hospital ABUJA for this certificate of fitness to obtain it at minimum cost and time. Biko help a sister out.

Also I don't have an offer letter yet for the schools I applied to, what can be done about that? Thanks.

To be very candid, the admission letter is like a compulsory document, when I spoke with someone from FSB she strongly emphasised 1. Minimum of 2:1 (2. NYSC discharge certificate (3. Admission letter
So I'll advise you call the school and tell them how urgent it is or take the leap of faith and attend the interview.

Regarding the Medical certificate, you can certainly get it from teaching hospitals in other states it is not compulsory it comes from an Abuja health facility... Time flies.....

Frankly speaking, without the NYSC discharge certificate there's no way one will pass the screening stage. But you can try in faith.

I'll advise you do the search yourself, have you bothered googling previous threads of this scholarship on Nairaland? it is loaded with almost everything you'll need.

You can always get the medical stuff at any teaching hospital or FMC in your state. It's not compulsory you come to Abuja. In fact National hospital is a bit expensive. So get it before coming.

About your admission letter, mail the schools you are seeking admission into. And tell them about the conditions laid down by FSB. That you need a decision before Wednesday. They are also human beings. They will reply you speedily.
I trust foreign schools.

If I were you, I would come a day before, lodge somewhere and get prepared.
But if I insist coming on that day, I would take a drop from Jabi garage to Arewa suites instead of trying to enter along. It should be in the range of 250-300 sha.

In fact every information is online. Previous year threads.

Many thanks to you two, Jefa4real and KingJB.
I've read through the threads for the previous years.
The level of frustration and disappointment that previous applicants expressed about fsb is very discouraging tho

Thanks. Please is the FSB office close to National Mosque?

Sounds right! The emphasis on the poster speaks volume. But the annoying thing is that fsb has no hand in funding the scholarship and in short, their nomination doesn't even guarantee someone of being awarded the scholarship but yet they attached all kind of crappy conditions to the nomination interview...So bad!
Best wishes to all that would make it to the interview! Be confident!

We can only hope to be selected. We will try our best and leave the rest to God.

Hello
Thanks for the info.
I m already in Abuja that's y I m asking.

My interview is on Thursday andI am coming from Lagos. Since I am working, my plan is to go Bt night bus on Wednesday. Does anyone know about these transport lines, customer services and their arrival time. Pls advise

My opinion though. I attended the interview conducted by FSB last year and it was the most disorganised thing ever. I seriously doubt the CSC folks would be pleased if they had been there. The organisation was poor and confusion the order of the day.
Given the large number of people, many persons should have been involved in the screening and interview. Alas,i think there wew only 5 people doing the interview. And so some people scheduled to do the first day ended up doing thiers on day 2. There were those who did thiers very late in the night.
Hence be prepared to be there for a long time except they have organised themselves.
It is usually oral in nature. Questions like what did you study, waht did you finish with, what area of study? Do you volunteer? There's no specific rule followed in the question asked.
For those without an nysc discharge cert, chamces are slim you'd scale the screening not to talk of an interview. But this is nigeria, anything is possible. But if you must go,best prepare yourself for a rejection.
The entire process could be better organised in my opinion.

Try ABC or Chisco. I guess they are reliable. They have buses from jibowu-Utako.

But you can make your own findings too.

Na so e happen today o. Went to LASUTH for medical certificate, nahim I meet one guy o. E tell me say to go thru all the tests na 22k...I shout Cheysoo!

My friend told me about the aplication but never finished because he got tired of the whole show. Another friend of mine who informed me about the email eventually wasnt elgible due to his CGPA and admission letter. Finally, I did my fitness report in LASUTH today for 3k. Really looking forward to the intervie. Wishing everyone all the best!!!

Weĺl to the best of my knowledge,i think its a 50-50 thing. You meed evidence of an offer of admission at the screening stage. While some of the people were particular about it,some weren't.
It would be good to go with one,but given that the schools you applied to haven't responded, you could take the risk and go ahead

Please someone should help me out, is the Federal Scholarship Board Office close to the National Mosque?
