Ate they still sending success mails?

A week ago, we got mails from NDDC after 8 long months. Hope this time around other steps will come quickly.

Fabrepass77:
Hi Guys. Is the scholarship still available to apply?

Guy, the one we're talking of on this thread is for 2017. We applied and went through the whole process last year. Until 2017 batch is handled, we can't say whether or not there'll be a 2018 batch. If they advertise for this year, you'll definitely see it on Nairaland.

paoloscali:
I got the same email twice... I just replied the two. Mbok, is it compulsory to use the exact bank details and phone number we filled in the form during the interview because I can't recall which of my account I wrote down and I am not using the old phone number again.

Can't remember the bank details I used during the interview, used one of my bank details for the two forms

Please who else got two mails?

PhilipGallagher:
Just got a mail from NDDC. To drop my account details. I hope they re-imburse me o.

Same here. I believe there's good news on the way

Please guys, is it true that the 2017 list will soon be released?
Like between this March and April.
Who has info?
Hope we're not being played

This is March oh, all those that usually have info, wassup?

Just got the mail

Has anyone noticed that the NDDC website is down? It says "temporarily unavailable"

Well my brother, I'm not asking you, I'm simply presenting contractual concepts which are obtainable in the Law of contract. Read my presentation in context. If you look at my previous posts, you won't see any thing suggesting that we can sue NDDC to give us scholarship. However, we can sue for the list of successful applicants to be published. It is at that point that the successful applicants can now demand for the scholarship to be awarded to them. It is this kind of mentality that is keeping Nigeria where it is today. Do you seriously mean that a government agency like NDDC can advertise for a scholarship program, and people will spend their time, energy, money,and even risk their lives to travel long distances, write an exam, travel again for the interview, and you abandon the process without any consequence? Are you telling me that there is no legal remedy for the victims of such administrative ineptitude and callousness? If that is your belief, pls explain to this forum what a writ of mandamus is, and what it is used for.

It's okay, as you please. Arguing with you is not necessary.
Hope you know that to petition for the enforcement of an official duty by writ of mandamus, what you're enforcing must be an imperative duty, not a discretionary one and definitely not CSR. If annual foreign postgrad scholarship is not one of the LEGAL DUTIES of NDDC, it won't be a viable case.
Also, hope you have the legal right to COMPEL them to do the specific act of releasing the list.
Well, it's likely you have info that I don't so you may know enough to petition for mandamus in this situation. Feel free to do so, it's in the interest of all of us.
I think we should even leave the legal argument and do something that'll produce results.

amhot:
Who says there is no contract between NDDC and the scholarship applicants? The elements which form a contract are, offer, acceptance, and consideration. They made an offer which we accepted by applying for the scholarship. The consideration we furnished was the time,energy and even the money we spent when we went for the exams and the interview. If we are suing them,it is to compel them to publish the list of successful applicants for 2017. Like I said yesterday, this can only happen when NDDC awards scholarship to any other set,without awarding to the 2017 set.

I beg to differ. NDDC's announcement of the scholarship is an invitation to treat- an invitation to the general public. There will only be a valid offer when the scholarship has been offered to an individual, who can then accept the offer. It is only after this that a contractual relationship can be said to exist.
If we follow your line of thought, it means a person who eventually doesn't get an offer can also sue NDDC and that's not true.

Donmatlock:
Can we get a volunteer lawyer to take NDDC and the Chairman to court? Maybe Femi Falana, Agbakoba or Keyamo or group of activist lawyers.

Even if we don't get it finally, NDDC will learn to be responsible. We can all win double the amount or get automatic scholarships as compensation.

The sad truth is that none of us has the right to institute an action against NDDC yet. Until a person is awarded and accepts a scholarship from NDDC, there is no contract between NDDC and that person and as such no legal right to sue has arisen.
Let's continue the online campaign and hope that things move fast now the budget has been approved.
