This is what you can do.

Do u av any broda or uncle or know anyone that owns a company.

Tell your school that d company needs your transcript and they will send it there.

U can then have access wit your transcript when it gets to d company.

realsammie:

realsammie:

i dont know bro

onyenze123:
may Allah provide for u. pls how do I solve this problem on UC Berkeley scholarship?

Amin and u too. What problem is dat?

We must emphasize however that this
new thinking and direction does not in
any way translate to a cancellation,
stoppage or withdrawal of the overseas
segment of our scholarship
programme. Qualified Nigerians will
continue to be sponsored abroad for
training especially in critical subject
areas in the oil and gas industry that we
currently lack enough capacity for in
Nigeria.


The other limb of the domestication
approach is to encourage foreign
universities where Nigerian scholars are
regularly sent for their Masters and PhD
studies to set up branches or campuses
of their institutions in Nigeria or go into
partnership with the upgraded Nigerian
universities for split PhD programmes,
whereby aspects of the training and
research will be conducted both in
Nigeria and abroad.

http://ptdf.gov.ng/press
http://facebook.com/dmainmanfoundation

The Federal Government has invested huge resources through the PTDF in upgrading 26 departments involved in teaching oil and gas related courses in 26 universities, with world class facilities that put them at par with their contemporaries abroad.
These upgraded universities, some of which have become Centres of Excellence in the teaching and research of specific oil and gas disciplines, are already being used for the training of PTDF scholars at undergraduate and post-graduate levels under the Local Scholarship Scheme of the Fund. Part of the domestication policy in the management of PTDF scholarship scheme is to gradually reduce foreign training of our scholars and build up in- country training facilities towards self- sufficiency in oil and gas capacity- building.

The Petroleum Technology Development Fund wishes to clarify that, contrary to some media reports, the Fund has not cancelled or intends to stop its Overseas Scholarship Scheme in the immediate. This is in view of the continued relevance of the scheme in building a crop of well-trained Nigerian professionals to effectively manage the critical sectors of the oil and gas industry as well as the academia.

The intention of PTDF in reviewing the operations of the scheme through its training domestication drive is to increase the involvement of local universities whose facilities and faculties have over the years been massively upgraded by the Fund.
