Unusual but not so shocking considering what people went through last year. It is well though. Our tenacity and never-say-die spirit, as Nigerians, should come to fore here.

I tink NDDC ought to increase dia scholarship award. 30k dollars iz nt enuf to cover both tuition and living expenses for professional courses lyk engineering and medicine. PTDF awards 40K dollars to dia beneficiaries includin air ticket which Is far better.
Yes 30k is not enough. My schl fees alone is approx 26k.
so hw man go do nw? Coz dat wan fit hinder person o even if he get d scholarship? Gettin a visa alone is abt 60-70k naira. Air ticket to and fro, abt 400k, living expenses, 7200-9000pounds. What wil b d plight of a Niger Delta son whose parent cannot afford dis even if he happens to win d scholarship? Hmmn. It is well o
I can feel testimonies rolling in on this page, those that were disappointed last year will shout for joy, while the new candidates will also share in this joy. Behold my fellow Niger Deltans, old things have passed away, all things are new and will work out for good for those who believe and fear God. Remain blessed!!!
Bros, is there anything u aint telling us???????
Hmmmm?????????

@phoneline I was asked lot of Qs on my course which I did very well buh general Qs was also a lot buh wasn't as gud....I scored 37....4rm delta.....wish u all da best....#cheers
Congrats brother. You extremely lucky:- In my case and in some cases: We scored 40 and above but were disqualified on the basis of one or some of the following:-
1 No NYSC Certificate (Even if you were still doing it now)
2 School official admission letter is not written in English (Despite being accompanied by an official translation from the appropriate embassy)
3 PhD program longer than 3 years
4 Masters program more than a year long (Typically affects people applying to Canadian schools).
5 Some documents were not brought on the interview day.
6 Expired documents i.e. International Passport or another form of identity document.
Consequently we had a zero score in Interview.
Congrats again dear.
so happy for my friend. .. he got his sms yesterday. ....NO CONNECTION. ...NO LONG LEG. he was congratulated by the interviewers dat day. he is from rivers state ..scored 34... going for masters in food engineering. ..
his success came from his course...
I believe merit fell on agricultural and environmental related courses.

Hello Guys,
I equally received a mail from NDDC yesterday night inviting me for the briefing this Friday. I'm from Delta state, scored 36 and intend to do a Masters in Computer Science.
Note that as far as I could tell, the interview didn't go well as I felt the Profs were deliberately seeking to get me flustered.
Best of luck to everyone
Got the text message too. I'm going for a PhD
