Can someone pls tell me how much is involved in this PRESSID??

So when they don't merit it, they should give them abi?
Let them just split this country abeg.am tired of this northerners

Pls what criteria did they use for selection?

No Calabar/Akwa Ibom name in the list? And to think Northerners still filled the list even after betraying Mr. President?

What's the breakdown per state?

FOR ALMOST 3 OR 4 YEARS NOW THE HAUSA-FULANI AND OTHER NORTHERN ETHNIC GROUPS HAVE BEEN CONSPICUOUSLY ABSENT ON THIS PRESSID LIST, FOR FAIRNESS WHY DONT ALL STATES PROVIDE 2 CANDIDATES? NO SHAKING THOUGH WERE BACK IN POWER SO THIS IS THE LAST TIME WELL SEE A TRIBALISTIC AND PARTISAN LIST. GMB BE REST ASSURED WILL GIVE ALL CORNERS WHAT IS DUE.

This statistics shows its by merit. Thats the kind of statiscs you will get when things are given by merit

pure tribalism None from either North west or North East- stupid list

Mr quota system no, let's do things on merit

As far Nigeria is concerned, almost all these first class students were professional crammers in school.


Not beefing them though because I also tried to cram my way to first class only to get 4.35 as final GP.

Hard work pays because cramming is really hard work

congratulations to all of them.

You're absolutely right ...I tried to do the same but ended up with 4.33!

And this is suppose to be a surname?

sauceny:
80% of list was selected through slots given to ministers,senators,governors & 20% made it by merit...

Nigeria refuses to progress because of people who think like you. don't forget the Bible says "as a man thinks in his heart, so he is. I suggest you go to http://roundedrectangles./ and see what a president thinks of people like u.

You are still a baby & wouldn't understand how things are done in the country.

zungum:
none frm north-east

U nid prayer

It baffles me how scholarships are awarded in this country of ours...
I have gone through and through this list and wasn't able to find any name from the middle belt...hmmmm!

I hope this list of so called first class candidates does not involve those who bagged theirs from all those private universities through settlement packages (didn't mention any name o).

Bants:
Igbo names are too much this look like a fraud

They are the best when it comes to merit and not federal character.

She's simply Yoruba with Igbo name.

Maybe her mum is Igbo.

I am bothered that majority of the people here do not know much about PRESSID scholarship. Unlike other scholarship awards like PTDF, NITDA, NDDC etc that ensure federal character is maintained by picking the top candidates from each state, PRESSID is a scholarship that ensure 100% merit. The scholars are hoped to distinguish themselves in science and bring innovation down to Nigeria. There is no limit to which your study is bound. You can study up to PhD level once you have the scholarship. The qualification for the entrance examination is a first class degree.

This is the only scholarship that is not sectional and tribal in Nigeria. Let's be proud of this as Nigerians. Everyone could be Yorubas or Ibos or Efiks or Hausas. It all depends on who made it to the top mark. This is a scholarship that want to ensure best brain are tapped for Nigeria's development.

National University Commission undertakes this process on behalf of federal government and funded by TETFUND.

scholastica is the surname. so you can't say if he's Igbo or Yoruba. The name might even be fake.

170m Nigerians with a geometrical no. of ethnic groups? We have to share things to the best of our ability for fairness to prevail, there exists a balance of equality and competence for your info. The criteria for pressid is a 1st class degree and its not too hard to find in any part of Nigeria.

im not a tribalist but pls this hate on ibos needs to stop....just from waec records alone u need no magic to know that south easterners are sound. It was clearly based on merit .....lots of graduates from the north are nothing to write home about so pls tell ur leaders that send their children abroad but tell u religion is number one to improve education in the north..... plsss pls leave ibos alone
