Okay Bro. Thanks for your response.

Also, Bro, is it possible to change the choice of Country since China is blocked at the moment?

Saimeritus:
Closed till date. They hope to open next year or start of second semester for 2021/2022 Academic session.

@Saimeritus, I hope the border closure has being lifted now or is it still closed to some countries till date?

China is my only choice in this PTDF stuff.

Saimeritus:
PTDF doesn't get admission for you. You do that on your own prior to winning the Scholarship. That's one of the things that made me to still be in Nigeria. If I had gotten admission in France or Malaysia, would have left under the sponsorship. I have admission in China but the Chinese Borders and Embassies are open to limited set of Countries like S. Korea, Taiwan etc.

What's the Monthly Salary rate?

Please Pals, I need your views. From the email sent, they only stated Journal Publication. Does this imply that Published Books will not be accepted?

With one Pub and one award I thought I could get it this year, however, there were so many criteria they used this year in the selection process.

Big Congrats to everyone selected. I wish you all the best in your studies.

Cheers!

You forgot that the word soon can be in 45days time too

You only analysed the word "Soon"..... how about the word "After Sallah" ........ lol..... Anyways, you can define any word according to your understanding of that word. So if you feel soon can be 45 days or even 100 days then that's consoling enough to avoid been frustrated or over anxious in this long waiting period. Cheers!

[quote author=Numusaf post=79118202][/quote]I logged into my page in www.scholarship.ptdf.gov.ng and chat with a PTDF Staff. You can try it too.

UPDATE FROM UNIPORT CENTER!
I actually got to the centre around 8AM today, and walked strait to the IPS conference hall, been my undergraduate school, I am familiar with all the nooks and cranny of the campus. Not quite long, a young man neatly dressed in a grey suit walked into the hall to give us a brief orientation of the campus, should in case of emergency and what is expected of us from the panellist. However, the assistant director of IPS had earlier informed us to make copies of our SOP and keep it handy. After that, we were divided into groups. My group fell within the Engineering Group 2 and i was the first candidate to be interviewed. We were then called into another waiting room in a group of four. By then the tension have started building in, I could hear some PTDF staff from Abuja walking to and fro, telling the candidates not to panic as it was just going to be an informal interactive session, they even went ahead to explain to us how some candidates were made to cry yesterday as a result of panic. All of a sudden I heard my name and I answered present, I was carefully ushered into the interview room, where I saw some neatly dressed gentle men. From their attires, i could immediately depict they were from the North. One of them smiled at me and made a gesture, ushering me into the HOT SEAT. Before i sat down, i greeted the panellist and all answered in affirmation. All of a sudden, the chief interviewer said to me, young man, can I see your credentials? and I handed him over my file, he flipped through while he asked me, any award? I said yes! Four in number, two academics merit based scholarship awards, one leadership and one volunteer! He said I can't find them, can you help me sort them out? I quickly stood up from the hot seat and walked towards him to assist in sorting the credentials. While I flipped through my file, I was seriously sweating in the almost freezing AC in the interview room. I now brought it out one after the other, out of the four I handed over to him, three were rejected on account that they were irrelevant to the issue at stake. the one that pained me most was the award from PTDF on the ENGINEERING DESIGN TRAINING PROGRAM in 2008 was also rejected for improper documentation. We had to ague it over for the next 45mins. But all plea went on deaf ears. All of a sudden he shouted, one award and two publications. When he looked at my face, it was no longer friendly, though I managed to put up a smile. He said to me, young man you still have gotten great profile, honestly speaking I like your Profile. The next, he asked what are your passion for studying abroad, and I answered! At this point in time, they were blasting me with technical questions from left and right. Then suddenly, the chief interviewer asked me, what do you do now, I answered. He said you have a background in PETROLEUM ENGINEERING and want to go for Management, WHY! I explained in details. They all kept mute for a while. All of a sudden, one of them looked at me and asked if i still want to context the award issue, and I answered, SIR YOU ARE THE REF. IN THIS GAME, SO IF YOU THINK FROM THE GUIDELINE THAT THEY ARE NOT AWARDS, SO BE IT. He nodded his head in affirmation and asked me not to worry that I already have gotten a great profile, and finally called in the next candidate. THIS IS THE BEST I CAN SAY SO FAR. From my analysis so far, i think the UNIPORT centre is very discreet and proficient in this job! So if you are going there, you have to buckle up your belt.

Thanks for the update Bro. Anyhow it's going to be with them, it's never a do or die affair. Once it's your time, nobody can stop it not even the interviewers. Just like trying last year without a publication and now with just one publication, I have decided to keep trying until it get to my time..... No harm in giving it a try and no worries facing any panel. May God give everyone courage.

AN ARTICLE ON MY FIRST BOOK PUBLICATION WITH LAMBERT ACADEMIC PUBLISHING

By: Felix Ebidouwei Bomabebe


How I wrote and Published my Book:
“Project Management Techniques for Oil Spillage Prevention & Management” was written as a Master’s Degree Thesis in Birmingham City University, United Kingdom, it is a distinctive Thesis, graded 84% by internal/external examiners of the University. It was written in 2014 and published in 2018 by Lambert Academic Publishing, an imprint under Omniscriptum Publishing house, in cooperation with my editor Akshay Roopun. Lambert Academic Publishing https://www.lap-publishing.com is a free book publishing company based in Europe.

Decision on Publishing my Book:
Before 2018, I was unaware of the existence of any free publishing Company in the World and this made me loose opportunities for acquiring Scholarship for my PhD ambition which often allocates grades for publications made by applicants. However, my story changed when I was contacted by an editor Akshay Roopun from Lambert Academic Publishing in Europe, with interest on my work and promises to offer a completely free-of-charge publishing with a 12% royalty on yearly basis. I instantly agreed to all conditions with the excitement of the bulk of opportunities and benefits the publication will bring to me and I am extremely happy I made this life-changing decision. Today, I am a proud Author with the help of Lambert Academic free publishing, I feel so proud seeing my Book popup in various Book Shops across the World with just typing my name on Google search. This is indeed an achievement of a lifetime for me, being my first published Book with such massive international audience.

About my Book:
Project Management Techniques for Oil Spillage Prevention & Management is basically aimed at applying Techniques in Project Management to address Spillages caused by Oil/Gas operations around the World with reviews on the Environmental Conflicts in Nigeria occasioned by the damages caused by Oil Spillages in the Niger Delta environment. Nigeria’s Niger Delta region is one of the highest environmentally polluted regions in the World occasioned by Oil Spillages from the operations of Oil/Gas Companies. It is also a region still trying to come out of a Conflict that lasted for over 7 years caused by grievances from citizens who suffers the consequences of Oil Spillages and until this issues of unending Oil Spillages are rightfully addressed; it is believed that the region will continue to suffer from Environmental Conflicts which is also the case for most Countries in the World with Natural/Mineral Resources.
Thus, how do we address these environmental Conflicts? The answer is domiciled in this unique Book which introduced Project Management techniques in Preventing and Managing Oil Spillages and it is hoped that the recommended approach in the Book will help in solving Environmental/Natural Resources Conflicts in the World.

The Message in the Book:
The issues of Oil/Gas Spillage have been on the rise all over the World, mostly in Africa, however, applying the recommended approach in the Book using PRINCE2 Project Management Techniques represents a fascinating extra value tool in addressing these spillage issues which is occasionally caused by mechanical/tools failures, pipeline corrosion and other factors. The Book analyses risks involved in petroleum exploration and production operations and introduced Project Management Methodology and Techniques as a major tool to prevent and manage spillage risks associated with Oil & Gas operations. The Author used both quantitative and qualitative method to substantiate facts, with extensive study/review of various academic publications on the subject matter. It used the form of a survey questionnaire and interviews to get current views and recommendation on the subject. The Book is highly recommended for all Oil & Gas Drilling, Exploration, Production, Oil Servicing and Oil Wellhead Maintenance Companies and their employees. The Book format is an excellent format for Academic Thesis and it is highly recommended for Master’s Degree and PhD Students who are currently writing their final degree Thesis in Universities across the World.
