How do I get or view the list of Approved Courses and Universities for the 2023/24 PTDF Overseas Scholarship?

Just hear yourself - "Small boy." It is indolent individuals like yourself who went through the back door to get a scholarship that often talk the loudest. Eat a humble pie and stop displaying more of your stupidity here. We know your type.
And by the way, I ALREADY hold a Master's degree. Nama!

C4123:
Very unfortunate. It is needless to engage a bitter and small minded boy who thinks coming to the public space to use uncouth words is a display of courage. You’re more ignorant than I thought.

Is there any other person that has received a SECOND payment of N15,000?

yyeskez:


I have just received a second alert of 15k about an hour ago... so I'm guessing the first one was for CBT and now this is for oral interview. The issue I believe would be from the way your bank is handling this. GTbank people I'm sure would have fewer issues

We always have individuals like you - faceless puppets/sycophants, who are willing to defend the CORRUPT status quo. How does the NDDC failing to pay me N15,000 reimbursement for almost two weeks - my RIGHT and their DUTY, a sign of "bitterness" or whatever? When you think you are intelligent than others because you or someone you know probably got selected/paid promptly (based on CRONYISM or corruption), you are only embarrassing yourself.

C4123:

The current NDDC scholarship program was processed with every level of transparency. If you were unsuccessful at this time, you can try again next time. Stop being bitter about your inability to secure the scholarship.

Like I responded to @subcbuoy above, it is a DELIBERATE act by the NDDC itself and not really my bank. You can see that after they knew I have copied the EFCC and other relevant stakeholders last night, they decided to pay me this morning after TWELVE (12) days of non-payment and silence to my complaints. It is DELIBERATE and isn't the first nor last time the NDDC is doing this. Too much corruption and greed.

They better pay me the second reimbursement and go with their so-called Scholarship!

It is a DELIBERATE act by the NDDC. I sent a second e-mail to them and COPIED the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) and few other agencies/relevant stakeholders last night. Guess what? They paid me this Thursday morning around 10:03 AM after TWELVE (12) days of non-payment nor response to my email and phone calls to their official channels since taking the Oral Interview on December 10, 2022. If I didn't copy the EFCC and other relevant bodies/stakeholders, I bet they would not have paid me till now. Very corrupt and greedy people in the NDDC! I am waiting for my second payment.

subcbouy:
I didn't receive an alert. You may check your account first before conclusion. But it is unfortunate that the same organization will be doing this to people.

He usually doesn't flush/clean the toilet after using it; keeps items anyhow or very untidy; smoked cigarettes in the room, etc.

Quite impressive. But, has things really changed?

No payment till now, I have not received my cash. They are being selective in the payment of this reimbursement. The NDDC is very prone to corruption.

subcbouy:
GTBank

It is obvious they have selected all the candidates they needed to take, mostly those who applied to study in January/May 2023. They DELIBERATELY refused to make this known to all applicants; that is, for them to register for January/May 2023 intake in overseas. And I am suspecting that the reimbursement was mainly or only for the final successful candidates and not for all candidates shortlisted for the Oral Interview last week.

Anyway, I still congratulate everyone who made it this far.

yyeskez:


something along the lines of congrats and another thing about registration (bringing documents and photocopies), and then a pre-departure briefing... which was meant to be yesterday but was postponed.

Which bank did you submit? I bet it was not the FirstBank Plc. I am yet to get a dime.

subcbouy:
I didn't get an alert but after reading that 15k was paid as being reported by someone, I check my account to see that 15k has been added.

I was congratulating @yyeskez for receiving a (success) mail from the NDDC last week's Thursday morning as he declared. The CBT score is not really important at this stage of the Oral Interview since nobody knows the exact criteria used in grading the final successful candidates. Besides, every specialization/study area had its own average score or cut-off mark necessary for moving to the next stage.

If truly they have selected and sent e-mails to all 200 successful candidates, then there is nothing we can do or hope for. Perhaps, they chose MAINLY or only those whose study will commence between "January and May 2023" instead of September 2023 considering the very short timeframe used in the selection process after Oral Interview (barely six days). My concern now is how to get my reimbursement of N15,000 which up till now have not been credited to my bank account despite I attended my Oral Interview last week Saturday (seven days ago) in Port Harcourt. Dis kontri na wa.

Kharismaa:
Please what was your score. Make we know whether we get hope. I mean your CBT score

Congratulations to you!

yyeskez:


Yessir, got an email earlier in the morning. Congrats to all successful applicants!

It is getting too long, I have not received mine till now. I even sent them an e-mail. I use First Bank. What bank did you submit?

yyeskez:


Yes, they will definitely compensate all applicants.

If truly, the names of successful candidates have been picked then they will be posted on the NDDC official website in due time. However, I am not aware at this point that successful candidates have been selected.

Lemken:
Nddc ought to release the list of those that were awarded

Is it credit alerts or names of successful candidates?

jogojogo:
Nails are dropping

I hope they pay me before the end of tomorrow or Saturday. I spent over N16,000 travelling to-and-fro Port Harcourt from my State to sit for the Test and Oral Interview. But, the most important thing is being selected amongst the 200 successful candidates.

yyeskez:


Same, mine was also on the 10th December

That is good. I attended the Interview last week Saturday (five days ago) and I am yet to get my reimbursement till this moment. When did you attend the Interview?

yyeskez:


I've gotten my re-imbursement money, 15k... I think it came day before yesterday.

This was ten years ago (2012). But, who ever thought that Rochas Okorocha would later turn out to be a vampire and very greedy fellow in Imo State who made politics his family business.

Six hundred (600) is possible, though I believe it is less than that figure. Also consider the amount for transportation reimbursement if it were to be at least 600 interviewees.

By the way, when are we expected to get our reimbursement or whatever money they intend to pay into our bank accounts which we filled out in a separate form? And if you have the link to any active WhatsApp group, drop it so I will join to discuss more with other NDDC Postgraduate Scholarship applicants in the 2022/23 cohort.

Stephen038:
Over 600 candidates, I presumed

This issue of whether the Scholarship is for January/May 2023 intake or September 2023 intake (particularly for UK universities) is the fault of the NDDC Scholarship Management who failed to clearly state the month(s) that an applicant is expected to take up the Scholarship offer. It will be unfair to either sides should the NDDC decide to give priority to only or mainly those successful candidates whose postgraduate studies will begin in a particular month in 2023. Since the Scholarship is meant for the year 2023, I think they should select all qualified candidates irrespective of the month of their programme as far as they will be commencing their studies in 2023 and not after that.

MrDeee:


The admission is for September 2023 intake. I submitted my applications last night.....

I see. So, do you have any idea of how many candidates got shortlisted for the Oral Interview? Eight ( 8 ) days is quite long and it might mean that PROBABLY 500 candidates or less were interviewed.

Drahl:


It's not 3 days, it was actually 8days. They started on Dec 5.

I said, "I THINK a MAXIMUM of 300..." The population was not much compared to the number of candidates (3,000) that sat for the CBT in late November 2022. And considering the NDDC boss' statement about selecting 200 candidates, it is likely that a maximum of 300 candidates were selected for the Oral Interview. This is even believable due to the short timeframe for interviews - Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday (three days). The NDDC cannot interview more than 300 candidates at most within three days.

Stephen038:

When did he say Maximum of 300 candidates were invited for the oral interview??

Is the WhatsApp group still active?

According to the Acting NDDC boss - Engr. Audu, only two hundred (200) successful interviewees or applicants in the Oral Interview stage will be offered the 2023 NDDC Foreign Postgraduate Scholarship. This statement was made two days ago (Monday) in Port Harcourt during the visit of the boss at the Golden Tulip Hotel, GRA, to witness the oral interview process, and posted on the official website of the NDDC.

At least 13,915 applicants applied for the Scholarship in October 2022 but only 3,000 out of that number were shortlisted for the computer-based test (CBT) late last month at the Rivers State University, Nkpolu, Port Harcourt. I think a MAXIMUM of 300 candidates out of the 3,000 were selected for the Oral Interview, out of which only 200 (according to the Acting NDDC boss) will be offered the Scholarship. Visit the link below for more details:

I am not on the WhatsApp group yet.

Adonispeter:

This is my number 08033841999.. kindly add me to the group

Anyone else on this thread got shortlisted for the Oral Interview between last week Saturday and probably today (Tuesday)? For those who were shortlisted, when are they going to pay us the transportation fare refund/reimbursement after requesting us to fill out our bank account details on a separate form? It is getting long.

krinkrypt:
Invites for interview are flying left, right and center. Congratulations guys!

The 2023 NDDC Postgraduate OVERSEAS Scholarship is for studies in ONLY Foreign universities outside Nigeria (PREFERABLY outside the African continent), not local. And it is ONLY for Masters (MSc/MA) level studies, not PhD applicants.

IbomGuy:
Please, the just concluded cbt, was it just for foreign school applicants Or both?.

I applied for local but was not notified for cbt

If U no com, how U wan know?

Your submission turned out to be lies.

Kenelekan:
Questions to concentrate on are
When was 500 naira introduced to Nigeria currency
Who coined the word Nigeria
Who was the first democratically elected president in Nigeria
Who is the first prime minister
When was NDDC created


There are going to be 100 questions in the CBT. and general questions take a large chunk of it

The competition is based on the number of people with your intended programme in your particular state.

If you need more questions to prepare with, send WhatsApp message 09131575259

January will be IMPOSSIBLE. At most, it will be from May to September 2023 but not January. I applied for September 2023 intake in the UK

Jadue:
Has anyone heard from NDDC, just called them today and the man that answered said the scholarship is for a January start, but time is going o, maybe they will scratch cbt and do only interviews. do you guys still believe this can work

And what happened after? Where you shortlisted for the CBT late last month?

SonyaSpence:


I actually submitted without it
