The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has raised an alarm over a fraudulent scheme targeting Nigerian applicants for its Postgraduate Foreign Scholarship Programme with a fake document verification exercise scheduled to take place in Lagos.
This was disclosed in a press statement issued on May 4, 2025, by Seledi Thompson-Wakama, the Director of Corporate Affairs at the NDDC.
According to the statement, the Commission became aware of fraudulent emails from [email protected], which falsely claim to be from the Commission’s ‘Board Registry’ and invite scholarship applicants to a fake verification exercise.
