I don't know who bears that. I use to call one NDDC land line.t hey pick up calls whenever they wish. And their response was only "we are walking on it,we will contact you soon",...since last year September.


May God help!

I think I was the only one,...when the whole house remain silence all day.

FYI

Hi guys,

Have anyone (last year beneficiaries) received their payment?

It isn't funny oo!

What's the rationale behind a scholarship award that doesn't comes in due time? It's really portraying a bad image to Nigerians studying in foreign countries.

Even after public broadcast of award ceremony, award letter offer,....hmm.

Is "change of power" excuse tenable?

I pray it's resolved asap!

My advice for prospective scholars, don't sorely rely on it. Please make plans for a backup source of funding oo. Otherwise,...

God help us

A good advice,..same applicable to me oo. No mail to present to school to back up the assurance of payment. Award letter was dated July, 2015. All words is "we will get to your school once it has been approved". Which approval again after award letter? No fixed date to present to school.
,hmm,....better Nigeria!

I started mine September but I haven't received any payment.

Please, when exactly did you received yours? which country and uni?

Thanks

I called a land line inquiry number, they rarely pick but once,I was told they are waiting for other colleagues of ours, and management will decide on date. I also sent an email to d contact email of their website. No reply. If you have an alternative email or phone no. Plus, kindly send as PM to me.

We all have different resumption date and payment deadline. The management should also try and understand this. It isn't a good thing to be stranded in foreign land oo.

Make dem just pay d fee, make I concentrate with my studies. In fact, d deadline here is 31st.

The house is so quiet,..any 1 beneficiary in d house that are already in there respective uni or will be in the uni this fall? Have payment started?
Award is going to a month now, after submitting all necessary document, i'm already in school, school are tired of seeing award letter, na payment remain ooo. Plus, has any 1 gotten his/hers?

I really need to know how soon? Pls can any1 help out!.

Thanks

You write a letter addressed to the nddc educational director, staying your new uni and course and the previous on ur award letter.then u attach a copy of both uni admission letter and d previous award letter
Submit @ d office, after approval,.a new award letter will be issued.


The house is quite,...after submitting all details, how soon will d money hit in Fall students should b given urgent attention ooo

Hello house,.

We must move on,..despite all odds,..this is not my first time of applying for d nddc's. This year was my first time I qualify for d interview and was successful this time. Please, don't give up on ur dreams, just keep pressing,...

Pls, can any last year scholars share with me what the briefing entails?

Will the award letter be issued same day?

Can som1 like dad,or any1 stand in for me that day?

I need to plan my itinerary well.

Please, I will appreciate your answers,..I wouldn't mind if u can send me PM oo. need to ask other questions.

Thank you.

I got it,..good1, Sept 15,phd, ondo state

I'm perceiving it too,..I know he who believes will receive,..

Hi,

I guess this is not the NDDC scholarship room. Last two page discussion was,...

Please,do any one (reliable source) has a concrete info on when the award will be given?

This is really hampering many people's plan, I guess.


Thank you.
