Today is March 20. PTDF has forgotten us.

Decarbonisation is the reduction of carbon emissions using renewable energy resources such as wind turbine, solar energy, biomass etc. This will significantly reduced greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels. Across the globe, countries are experiencing climate change Nigeria inclusive. This has negative impacts on the environment and human health. Let us protect the environment and our health by taking climate action.

Due to the heat wave in Nigeria currently caused by climate change, this requires urgent solutions to reduce carbon emissions and to avert future disasters like floods, winter storms, food shortage, crops' failure in the growing season, droughts and other diseases.

1. Decarbonising the energy and power sectors, and industrial processes using alternative energy sources such as wind turbine, solar energy etc.

2. Planting of trees in rural and urban areas to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere.

3. Mitigation strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions should be implemented.

4. There should be public awareness campaign on climate change and its negative impacts.

5. Due to lesser rains, irrigation system should be used by farmers. Governments across board should support farmers to prevent hunger.

Join the climate revolution now!

Omoh mehn... if possible, our Abuja brethren should please help us mobilise to their office to at least get a word from the appropriate quarters. Just a word, one word lol. We might not need placards for demonstration.

.

I have not seen anyone.

Those of us in Abuja should mobilise and go to PTDF HQs

PTDF has forgotten us

:Moderators, kindly push to Front page. Push it to front page to increase the heat or what...?

.

As an awareness

For awareness

Moderators, kindly push to Front page.

Yesterday, someone made a post relating to the heat wave currently in Nigeria. Here is the post link: https://www.nairaland.com/6450279/what-causing-too-much-heat

This is the negative impact of greenhouse gas emissions released into the atmosphere by the burning of fossil fuels from automobiles, generators, and chemical processes carried out in factories and power plants. One of the most important human impacts on the
environment is the rapid increase in greenhouse gas (GHG) which includes carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide(N2O), chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and hydrocarbons (HFCs) (Giwa, 2014).

This has caused climate change across the globe such as winter storm that happened in Texas, US and claimed more lives in February 2021, droughts, floods, increase in ambient temperature in Nigeria currently, and crops' failure and food shortage experience in the growing season in Nigeria. We should reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions and develop suitable solutions to tackle climate change. One of the major constituents to this is carbon dioxide (CO2). We should encourage the planting of trees to absorb CO2 and other emissions ( methane, nitrous oxide, chlorofluorocarbons etc) from the atmosphere.

WHO estimates that between 2030 and 2050, climate change is expected to cause approximately 250000 additional deaths per year globally, from malnutrition, malaria, diarrhea and heat stress alone; this was estimated to translate to direct damage costs to the health of between USD 2-4 billion per year. The data and information from this report require climate emergency and sustainable solutions to climate change. This has a negative impact on the health and agricultural sectors.


The negative impact of GHGs on agriculture and food security, especially in tropical and subtropical regions is expected to increase the risk of hunger by additional 80 million people by 2080 in Africa and Southern Asia (Odjugo et al., 2001). We should advert this now by developing climate change mitigation strategies.

Extreme high air temperatures contribute directly to deaths from cardiovascular and respiratory disease, particularly among elderly people. In the heat wave of summer 2003 in Europe for example, more than 70 000 excess deaths were recorded(2) (WHO report). This high temperature cause heat stroke and other diseases. To stay safe, the following listed below will help you a lot.

Due to climate change, there is an increase in ambient temperature in Nigeria especially in the Northern part of Nigeria.

For those in Abuja and North,

1. Drink more water.
2. Stay in cool places.
3. Go to swimming pool and relax.
4. Eat a lot of fruits to remain healthy.

Maintaining a proper ambient temperature is very necessary to your health.

We all need to meet and deliberate on this issue.

With the way I am seeing things, we might not even be called this year for PTDF Scholarship.

YusufMonteCarlo:

Let us have a whatsApp to deliberate on that!

.
Create One and add others.

Akomiloli1:


How do we go about this?

.

We should write to them or those in Abuja should gather and go to PTDF Headquarters to find out whether they have abandoned us or not.

PTDF has forgotten us.


It is high time we should write to PTDF to know our fate about the scholarships not waiting endlessly.

My one percent opinion.

This thread is calm. No news

jjj37:


Noted.. notwithstanding, the point is not that he wasn't suicidal but his intentions sharing the story. reading between lines an averagely intelligent person should see he's being mischievous, very poorly cooked up gist, A degree in oil and gas indeed, oil and gas is now a degree right?? more so, because his friends had all gotten jobs he'd then needed to attempt suicide to prove he was left out of Life and thereafter looked forward to share it in the future, going by your assertion and comparison, do you know how many have gone through worst here.?? this is not to discredit his suicidal jorney but it's not real hence the comparison with friends who have waited on employment longer, dont forget most graduates in the country averagely wait upto 3years before being employed. so he's gist wasn't neccessary!!

Yes, oil and gas is a course in some UK universities. Oil and Gas Engineering or Oil snd Gas Management.

Fingers crossed

You have started. You think that Cameroonina borders belong to you right?
Pls don't cry to UN and be shouting Massacre again.

Abokii8:
You have been snubbing their questions Sir, is there any update from your side?

.

No update.

Just doing research.

dives:


I hope the image is clear; the second column is for MSc courses while the third column is for PhD courses. If the image is not clear enough you can check here https://scholarship.ptdf.gov.ng/guidelines

Thank you

Jibboy1:
EdoBoy90.... any update with this scholarship.?

.

Thank you.

I need courses approved by PTDF at Cranfield University.
I can't get such there.
Very urgent pls.

Pls someone should send the UK Schools listed by PTDF.

Good thread

Just 17 names for Mechanical Engineers.
Na wa ooo

Jibboy1:
Information reaching me that probably by March they might continue the process so let cross our nails

.




If they reach out to us by Match, will September resumption possible this year again?


Except UK schools and few others.

Hannania:
In as much as the mail doesn't look formal, here's one truth that I know of. PTDF has stated severely, their intention to focus more attention on funding local scholars as its no longer sustainable to continue the OSS process and here's why:
1. Check the portal on speeches made by the ES, and you'd see how multiple lines stated the focus on LSS specifically

2.That move was put on motion with The number of awardees for LSS been increased per state from 10 to 20 for Undergraduate and 10 to 15, for MSC and PHD in the latest list of 2019/2020.

its no brain strain to know that in the next two sets at most, PTDF will refer to sponsoring LSS only.

with the above, I still believe two things will most likely happen.

1. Those who did interviews will be awarded this year 2021/2022 with no new applications, just as LSS has non since 2018.

2. Those successful would be turned to LSS or PTI

let's all hope for the best.

From the information I received, the Scholarship is still pending not cancelled.

so, we should keep ourselves busy and hope in God.

Saimeritus:

Last Selection took the list was released took place in 2019 which is 2019/2020 academic session. Last year selection is 2020/2021 session which was cancelled cause of the pandemic in 2020.

.


It was suspended till further notice

Last one is 2020/2021 academic year not 2019/2020 academic year.

2019/2020, 2020/2021, 2021/2022, 2022/2023 etc

As a Mechanical Engineer, I consider a career path in Automation/Mechatronics - Production.

I know some of my friends that got jobs from Europe while in Nigeria as Programmers.

Help me with the names of good training Institutes with recognized certifications which are acceptable in Europe or abroad.

Is City and Guild Okay? I Would prefer others you know. kindly help a Brother

Jibboy1:
I think ptdf scholarship might be canceled already... because they way things are going it s

.

I don't think so but it might be delayed if the pandemic continues.


This is January, by now, we would have been processing admission for September intake in 2021/2022 academic year. Things are not going well as planned.

Good morning everyone.
This is 2021 and when I said it nobody believed me then.
January is going.
Even in PTDF office, many staff have not resumed fully yet.
The pandemic is much more around.
I hope this year should be possible.
While we wait, let's engage ourselves with other activities.

Igbosmoker:
I think you're right, by the way I'm not Igbo, I'm Benin.

When the court removes obaseki next year even if he appeal the case, apc can still Battle it in court to give ize iyamu the office before supreme court final judgement

.

You are just disgracing yourself here ooo.

Gov. Osunbor remained in office until Appeal Court judgement then.

Gov. Wike remained in office after he was removed by the High Court and Appeal Court Judgements then. Supreme Court affirmed his victory.

Baba, go and read before you come here and be typing rubbish.

cktheluckyman:



Seriously? So people are still this daft? Shebi na you go vacate am?

.

Igbo lacks elementary knowledge. I think he doesn't know and has not followed electoral process.

If a governor is disqualified, he or she has 21 days to appeal the case up to Supreme. when he or she appeals, he or she is still the governor.
