Hmmm

This is true.

Now i can see that this present board is confused. Jst last month they concluded application for skill acquisition training. Now, barely a month they have began another fresh skill acquisition application again without the logical conclusion of the previously advertised one.
Where are we heading to with all these?

The tenure of this board is meant to end by December 2017 following the rotational principle among member states by the NDDC ACT except they get an extension which is being strongly resisted by IYC,IPDI and other pressure groups in the region.

They (NDDC Board) are meant to put their house in order but are acting absurdly. Abeg MNDA shld come and cordinate them ooo, seems they are bereft of ideas.

Abi is it now " A-loota Continua"?

So NDDC is not doing anything about scholar payment This is sheer wickedness!

I think the fellow that mentioned that payments will be made this week is right. I had to cry out via email on Monday to NDDC scholarship coordinator to please look into our plight. Surprisingly I got a response today from NDDC office informing that our payments are being processed. Well, this is the first time I have had a definite response from them for a long time. So fingers crossed. God help us all.

Who is the Scholarship coordinator? Do you mean the consultant in-charge of nddc scholarship test? Or email reply from Seledi?

.

I emailed Seledi and copied every other nddc staffer involved. Seledi responded yesterday (and this is the fist time she's ever been this specific and assuring).

Any update?
Has financial processes left for CBN to provess payment for owed scholars?
What about the list for 2017 prospective scholars?

Oh! I see. I also emailed her. She said they are working towards clearing all of scholar's balance. Let's just hope 4 the best. Nddc's promises could be energy-sapping!

Whats d latest on payment people?

agongajoseph:
Whats d latest on payment people?

As of today, nada. I am hoping the payments will be a done deal this week. As I mentioned on previous thread, I emailed the coordinator and she said (first time ever she's done that) the payments are being processed. Fingers crossed.

If I say the source what will you do with it. I don't comment here and if you don't believe leave it and wait.

Thank you for your efforts chasing this with them. I don't know, I just have this feeling payments will be made soon it's just a question of when. I don't know long it takes for the money to get through CBN to us (any ideas)? Let's hope for the best.

I think it takes two days at the Portharcourt CBN office then 2 weeks at the Abuja HQ.... but a staff incharge of Student affairs has negotiated with d Abuja HQ, so it will take 2 days to get to us n not 2weeks

Tenure of NDDC MD Ended Nov 1, Insists N’Delta Group
November 17, 20170298

Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Nsima Ekere
Emmanuel Addeh in Yenagoa
A coalition of groups in the Niger Delta on Thursday maintained that the tenure of Chief Nsima Ekere as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), had elapsed since November 1.

While quoting from the appointment letter it said it obtained from the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), a petition signed by Alali Bokutengo, Miebaka Harrison, Nsan Ebirien and Cordelia Etuk-Udo, leaders of the group, said it was illegal for the MD to continue in office.

Under the auspices of the Eastern Niger Delta Coalition, (ENDC), the group noted that by the appointment letter dated November 1, 2016 with Ref. No: SGF.55/S.2/C.3/IV/52, signed by the sacked former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, Ekere was supposed to serve out the tenure of the last person who occupied the position.

Part of the letter it purportedly obtained read: “I am pleased to inform you that the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, has approved your appointment as Managing Director of Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), following your confirmation by the Senate on Tuesday October 11 2016 in accordance with Sections 2(2) a and 12 (1) (c) of the NDDC (Establishment) Act 2000.

“The appointment took effect from November 1 2016 and you are to serve out the remainder of the term of office of your predecessor in line with Section 5(2) of the Act. Your emoluments and other conditions of service are as provided under the “Certain Political, Public and Judicial Office Holders (Salaries and Allowances, etc) (Amendment) Act 2008.”

The Niger Delta group argued that the document has ended the speculations on the allegations that there were plans by the cabals in the Presidency to elongate his tenure and that of the NDDC Board Chairman.

It said the ‘so-called extension’ was not only morally wrong, but does not stand on any legal high ground, noting that a cabal in the presidency was hell-bent on ensuring that the present MD continues in the position.

“The whole exercise is offensive and contrary to the extant/explicit provisions of the relevant sections of the NDDC Act. This fraud should not be allowed to stay a day longer because of the consequences it would bequeath on the region.

“The peaceful co-existence among tribes and ethnic nationalities would be shaken to its foundation and rather replaced by mistrust and mutual suspicion- an invitation to breakdown of law and order”, the group said.

NDDC board members tenure has been extended till 2020. So says the Presidency.

Hello Everybody both Old and New members, I hereby notify all applicants for the 2017/2018 NDDC scholarship that the awards have now been officially cancelled to accommodate payment for past recipients.
We are all required to prepare for a fresh application coming up next year.

Sad but true and reliable info. Let's not give up but prepare for another year as it comes.lifes struggle ends when we stop breathing.

Gracias
