ATTENTION: NO PTDF FORMS SENT TO ENUGU STATE

I AM SENDING THIS PIECE FOR THE CONSUMPTION OF THE HOUSE BUT BEFORE I PROCEED,I WOULD ASK A FEW QUESTIONS?

1)WAS ANYONE FROM ENUGU STATE ABLE TO GET A PTDF SCRATCH CARD OR SCHOLARSHIP FORM IN ENUGU STATE/
2)IF YES,COULD YOU PLEASE LET THE HOUSE KNOW WHERE YOU GOT IT FROM[/color]

[color=red]A WEEK AND 3 DAYS BEFORE THE APPLICATION DEADLINE FOR THE PTDF SCHOLARSHIP DREW TO AN END CLOSE,I WENT TO FIRST BANK,HEAD OFFICE AT OKPARA AVENUE,ENUGU TO BUY THE PTDF SCRATCH CARD BUT WAS TOLD BY THE CUSTOMER SERVICE OFFICER OF THE BANK THAT FIRST BANK HAD NOT RECEIVED SCRATCH CARDS.I REPEATED MY VISIT,FOR 3 CONSECUTIVE DAYS BUT GOT THE SAME ANSWER FROM THE CUSTOMER SERVICE STAFF.
I THEN DECIDED TO VISIT THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION IN ENUGU,WHICH IS OPPOSITE THE STATE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION DEPARTMENT(CID).ON ENQUIRY,I WAS ASKED TO VISIT ROOM C7 WHERE I MET A MAN THAT TOLD ME A COUPLE OF PEOPLE HAD COME IN SEARCH OF THE FORM AT THE MINISTRY.HE THEN TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD NOT RECEIVED ANY PTDF FORMS AND THAT IF IT CAME,IT WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC FOR PUCARSE AS IT HAD BEEN THE PROCEDURE FOR PREVIOUS YEARS.
THE NEXT WEEK,I RETURNED TO FIRST BANK,OKPARA AVENUE,ENUGU BUT GOT THE SAME NON AFFIRMATIVE ANSWER FROM THE CUSTOMER SERVICE STAFF AFTER ASKING A FEW OF HIS COLLEAGUES IF THE PTDF SCRATCH CARDS HAD BEEN MADE AVAILABLE TO THEM.

AFTER VISITING THE PTDF THREAD IN THE HOUSE(NAIJAHOTJOBS.COM) AND READING THE COMMENTS OF THE PTDF STAFF THAT SOME STATES WERE HOARDING THE FORMS AND THAT FORM SEEKERS SHOULD VISIT THE STATE SCHOLARSHIP BOARDS,I WENT BACK TO ENUGU STATE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION AND WAS DIRECTED TO THE STATE SCHOLARSHIP BOARD'S OFFICE.A LADY WHO WORKS THERE CONFIRMED THAT THE PTDT FORMS WERE NOT AVAILABLE,THAT INFACT THEY HAD NOT RECEIVED ANY FORM FROM PTDF.
FROM THE SAME OFFICE I LEARNT THAT THE GOVERNOR INAUGURATED A STATE SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE TO TAKE CARE OF ALL ENUGU STATE SCHOLARSHIPS BUT THAT THE COMMITEE HAD NO OFFICE AT THE MOMENT AND WERE USING THEIR ASSIGNED OFFICIAL VEHICLE AS AN OFFICE(UNBELIEVABLE).
I ASKED WHERE I COULD GET THE COMMITTEE'S SECRETARY OR ANY OF ITS MEMBERS BUT WAS ASKED TO GO TO THE GOVERNMENT HOUSE.I EVENTUALLY WENT TO THE GOVERNMENT HOUSE AT NZA STREET BUT THE SOILDERS AT THE GATE REFUSED TO LET ME IN.I EXPLAINED THE PURPOSE OF MY VISIT BUT WAS REFERRED TO THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION WHERE I CAME FROM.AS I WAS STILL PLEADING WITH ONE OF THE SECURITY GUYS AT HE GATE,A SOILDER WALKED UP TO ME AND ASKED ME TO LEAVE AND EVEN THREATENED TO DEAL WITH ME IF I REFUSED TO LEAVE.I RESPECTFULLY LEFT THERE,KNOWING I COULD BE MAL HANDLED IN MY SEARCH FOR PTDF FORM.

PLEASE HOUSE,DID ANYONE IN ENUGU OR OTHER STATES ENCOUNTER SUCH DIFFICULTY IN GETTING THE PTDF FORMS?
IF YOU GOT YOURS IN ENUGU,HOW WERE YOU ABLE TO GET IT AND WHERE DID YOU GET IT?

EXPECTING REPLIES

Man, I don't know what to say. I've been asking folks, even some awardees presently in the u.k and none seems to know jack about what's happening with the forms. someone should please tell us if the forms are actually out, or if the deadline has passed, so i can stop reading and channel my energy to better endeavours. {Hisses}. naija na wa o! ??? ??? ???

@Tafia,
Please take things easy. I know its important that we get the form on time but dont land in trouble trying to get it.
Its NOT yet out. I doubt if it will by this week. But keep checking either Daily Trust, Guardian and Nation everyday from today. Its your best bite.
Good luck.

I had a similar experience in Ibadan. Both the bank and the scholarship board denied having recieved anything concerning the forms. Na them sabi

sorry pls house, is the scholarship really out or just speculations, i have tried to get info from osun state sect. but nothin concrete. does anyone have the form for this year.
