Kpai1185:
Here is the second week of September Sir

Ikpok:
FX crisis too may not mean unavailability of funds but the inability to access FX. I believe this liberalisation of FX may have fixed that.

Something else maybe holding this scholarship and I doubt it's ego. Like I posted earlier, maybe they've concluded already

Sadeey91:
Pls share my heart is racing

Kpai1185:
I think for those of you that couldn't believe me wen I said virtual interview was going on then and that the list will be out by second week of September should start believing.


People that will be slotted will do some kangaroo interview.

sadiik45:
I disagree. ICPC and NDLEA started with previous administration and everything goes normal with this government.

Octave006:
Kindly revert to the content of the leaked letter shared. It's an executive briefing by ptdf to newly appointed state minister of oil briefing him on what has transpared as an agency under the ministry. However it may interest you to note that saveral other people are in copy e.g. Federal Character Commission, DSS and Staff Co. Should it be that the federal character commission or the minister under which the agency is deems fit to make amendments which may in turn alter the initial list thereby Making it tentative. However the fund in order to avoid such oversights carry out the exercise under supervision of relevant bodies such as the FCC and supervising ministry and revert back for bereaucratic clearances with high hopes of non alteration to the proposed list if you may like. However there is no alteration once list is made public.

KIA1:
Clear enough. Many thanks for expounding.

mbado:
Blaming @FatimaMK is quite disheartening because it will make people with relevant information about the scholarship to refrain from sharing.
The letter she posted looks genuine and I think she may even be one the 2022 scholars (not sure though)
Infact, we know how Nigeria bureaucratic process delays in issuing approvals, not sayin that will be the reason for the delay, but that there are always many unknowns in this country

I know for sure that the list will be out and I am certain we all know that. So we wait

ogechijohn:
Judging from the numbers on the document posted by Fatima
403 Successful candidates out of the 19,706 that applied
That's 2% success rate for the 2023/2024 PTDF OSS Scholarship Scheme

If you're part of the 2%, you're a genius
No matter what life throws at you afterwards, don't forget this feat.

Kpai1185:
That's the physical interview

Kpai1185:
A reliable rumor has it that the interview might be going on....

Kpai1185:
It's like the interview is still going on

Rehguy:
FG abeggggg

This year’s set have already been interviewed. The mental stress we've been through alone, coupled with the economic depression could drive some of us suicidal if you cancel the fund for this year.

We understand things are difficult now but please, our darling daddy Tinubu, don't cancel the PTDF at this point, not when you've gone through the gamut of the process and are at the finish line.

Any change in policy should be from next year.

Thanks and God bless


Oya PTDF faithfuls, quote to beg FG not to cancel

Ellacity:
You might unfortunately not expect the list any time soon as the interviews are not completely completed. Some virtually related interviews are currently been planned but not until then, the waiting time might be delayed.

In any case, I wish the people that are still undergoing their interviews all the very best and also the people that had their interviews already.

MrsTwrite:
Sometimes these scholarships is by luck!

Msani1:
That was 2017. I was lucky to be an awardee for Masters overseas scholarship.
I had to quickly get another admission for November intake and flew to UK 31st October.

Kpai1185:
Smile... Has PTDF ever releases list in September?

Grecho:
Are we still expecting the list today? Is just an hour to 12am.

Kpai1185:
Friday next week might be getting late for anybody who intends to start the program this year... Particularly the UK students... I think by Monday or Tuesday Insha Allah

ahzNigeria:

EdoBoy90:
Sir, it was delayed. It had to pass for approval from the presidency then. They were even contemplating.

EdoBoy90:
Economy don choke up. God help us oopp

achemep:
Omo...
May God help. From my interview experience, all I can say is that, grace of god is the main criteria for scaling this stuff.
[Qquote author=babatundea87 post=124031292]This week, PTDF recognized the surge in enthusiasm for AI, Data Science, IT, and other fields. They don't seem to have previously experienced this surge. By statistics, a higher proportion of the 5000 applicants who were selected come from these disciplines, which could upset the prevailing system of award distribution or call for more slots to accommodate more of the AI, IT, and Data Science related candidates to strike a balance.

South-East Team Lead said 190 MSc & PhD applicants participated in the screening but only 25 successful applicants, five each from the five states in the zone would be selected, subject to budget for the year

Ibadan Zone was looking at 659 applicants for the screening


Wishing us all the best!

Well, My interview was not as planned, I was scheduled for 1 pm on the 21st Wednesday. however, I decided to arrive at the venue earlier than that. I met two other candidates who were slated for the same time but also decided to come earlier. Just as the MSc Students were rounding up, we were also asked to fill in for our accreditation. After that, we were ushered into our various panels. The majority of the discussion was on my Proposal. I defended the proposal without having a copy with me. They asked a few questions and then asked for my academic qualifications, professional membership, work experience, and all. While that was on one of the panelists asked for the proposal which I went out to bring cos it was in the other bag I carried. Basically, all we need to do now is wait.
