Jobs/Vacancies / Re: 2017 NDDC Foreign Msc And PhD Scholarship by ladybug2: 6:08pm On Jan 08, 2019 |
Update: Contacted a friend. He just said to email NDDC that they will do it. That really doesn't help as he wasn't specific (who, how??) but I will reiterate contacting Ms Seledi instead. If I get new info, will update. Hello, I would suggest contacting Ms Seledi Thompson for a start - she always responds to her emails. I would need the letter too. I will ask a colleague of mine that has graduated and is still here in the UK (NDDC scholar) and get back to you if I get more info. unie101: |

I don't think there are any restrictions on courses you would like to pursue, unlike PTDF. If you can, check with current scholars to confirm the requirements. I think they have opened another thread (NDDC 2018 scholarship or something like that). Good luck |

Same here, they are not using the current exchange rate, unfortunately. That being said, I'm glad they have at least fulfilled what they should have done 9 months ago. unie101: |

Guys, update from Ms Seledi (in response to my email). She said no one in the UK has been paid yet and in her words 'she is hopeful we will all get paid before the end of the week.' 3 Likes |

Yes, it doesn't seem so. Let's hope it is all sorted this coming week. Nuel1647: |

Please who else has been paid (UK)?? Now I'm getting worried as I still haven't received mine. Fingers crossed. |
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: 2017 NDDC Foreign Msc And PhD Scholarship by ladybug2: 7:19am On Sep 20, 2018 |
Thank you. I will see what happens. The last time she responded to my email was in June where she indicated 'your payments are being processed.' and you are right as soon as we got paid in January, I sent an email right away informing my final fees were now overdue and she acknowledged it. Hopefully we all get paid and end this nightmare. irahub: |

Hello, no I have not been paid (yet). I don't know if any UK scholar has been paid as it seems only US scholars have received payments (I could be wrong). Ms Seledi isn't responding to her emails which is bizarre. I was aiming to give them until Friday latest. I am still hopeful. I suggest you contact Ms Seledi too and submit any overdue notifications from your school. unie101: |

Yes she has been the only one trying to give an update even when it's not good news but she still responds. I will thank her personally (after I have been paid, still waiting, lol). Mayflowa: |

Okay just checking. I haven't either and although Seledi's emails do not go undelivered this time, she has stopped responding completely. I heard from someone who has reliable contacts in nddc that the paperwork for payments has been signed, and sent to CBN. I really am hopeful but we've been played like this before, hopefully it's different now. Fingers crossed. Mayflowa: |

Hi, just checking if anyone has been paid?? I keep getting assurances from folks that have contacts in nddc that payments have been approved / en route to CBN since last month but nothing or no one I know of has been paid. Mayflowa: |

I wrote the test in 2015 - so I advise to get updated info from 2016/2017 candidates as there is a chance the format must have been revised. In my time though, engineering candidates were locked into one bloc so the questions we had were typical general engineering questions encountered perhaps from first degree years 1 and 2 - so mechanical, electrical, chemical engineering etc students had the same questions because I remembered chatting with my colleagues afterwards from different fields and we had similar questions. I can't remember specifics but they were typical engineering questions with bits from thermodynamics, power, mechanics, electrical, etc etc. We had current affairs too and its common knowledge that NDDC is very much into current affairs so prepare for that (even in interviews, we had current affairs questions thrown at us, and I mean all of us and it could be anything, even as bizarre as reciting the national anthem (the second stanza nonetheless to make it more interesting); or answering who is featured on the 10,20 or 50 naira note! |

Contact your school admin or registry for the best course of action; 'cos if you are in for MSc, this is really late. Registration starts like a week before the actual start date - but that being said deferment is possible but the conditions varies from school to school, so the earlier you contact the school registry to consider your options the better. PhD is not a problem for most schools as long as your prospective supervisor is kept informed. Unless they (NDDC) work on a very tight ship, the selection process from test invite to induction took about two months in my case (interview invite after cbt was quicker - approx 2 weeks after the online tests, but the release of the list of successful scholars took forever). kutekwinie: |
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: 2017 NDDC Foreign Msc And PhD Scholarship by ladybug2: 9:18am On Aug 31, 2018 |
100% agree. There is a systematic problem with NDDC that won't go away until it is fully addressed. Whilst this is good news, how on earth will they squeeze the test, interviews, selection and induction in this space of time if scholars are to commence studies this year viewingthistopic: |
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: 2017 NDDC Foreign Msc And PhD Scholarship by ladybug2: 9:14am On Aug 31, 2018 |
If you are going for a PhD, deferment is not a problem at all as the prog is usually more flexible. For Masters prog, this is just too late in my opinion so I would recommend deferring to January. It depends on your school though. Mine has two sessions for Msc - October and February. Your best bet is to contact your school admin. nenanels: |

Ditto. Someone had the nerve to reprimand me on twitter when I called Nsima out on his BS (he was criticising Akwa Ibom state govt for not investing in education ff the poor WAEC results!). This chap actually said the MD 'deserves' commendation on the front of education (imagine) and the arrears they are yet to settle are backlogs from the previous admin. Of course, I did not let that go unchallenged (it is obvious he is not a scholar). Donmatlock: 1 Like |

Hello, same issue here. I have been emailing Ms Seledi for the past week and just recently yesterday, but the mail always returns undelivered. I have resorted to emailing Godson, however, he has not been responding to my enquiries for a long time now, and still hasn't. I keep hearing that payments are being processed or that we will receive payments soon, but nothing at all. Mayflowa: |

I can also confirm the scholarship ad has been posted on nddc website. I can open both links though (MSc and PhD) from my end so refresh your screen and try again (or try the link below). E.g. http://forms.nddc.gov.ng/view.php?id=71 sethmelia002: |

It is bad enough they canceled the 2017 selection process but now we have all come to terms with it, registration for most schools begins in September if they are serious at all. The incompetence is just mind-blowing. But that is nddc for you. In my time it wasn't any better but at least the cbt and oral interview was out of the way. I got the notification for induction in September!! The first week of September - that was when the list was released. So I'm not too surprised but this admin has taken the cake obviously. My brothers and sisters, PTDF is a better scholarship by far if you can get that. After all the brouhaha, current scholars they still owe are yet to be paid. They can get away with this cos we do not have a functioning legal process in Naija. 1 Like |

I am so sorry to hear this. If there was any functioning legal recourse at all they wouldn't gamble with our futures' like this. Unfortunately, we are stuck with an inefficient and I dare say a corrupt system with no regard to the effect it has on us and future generation. Yet they expect us to be patriotic. Onyinel: 1 Like |

Current scholars: I emailed Ms. Seledi to inform that I am (and I speak for colleagues too) still owed payments contrary to the press release, she responded that payments are being processed. That is good news for a start (although with nddc, I am not jumping for joy yet - at least she responded). So any current scholars on here, please do well to notify her as well and send any docs to prove that there are still outstanding payments to make. I won't stop shouting on twitter though cos nddc has played this ping-pong game for too long. |

With all the time and resources thrown in to organise the selection process, nddc has made a mockery of us by unceremoniously cancelling the 2017 scheme/list without any forewarning or concrete explanation. This is Nigeria. 1 Like |
