The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has warned Nigerians over the activities of fraudsters, who are offering non-existent postgraduate scholarships to unsuspecting victims.

Director of Corporate Affairs at the NDDC, Mrs Seledi Thompson-Wakama, issued the warning in a statement released in Port Harcourt on Sunday.

She disclosed that the scammers had been soliciting money from members of the public under the pretext of securing scholarship placements.

“The attention of the NDDC has been drawn to fraudulent emails and messages sent to applicants of the commission’s Postgraduate Foreign Scholarship Programme,” she said.

Thompson-Wakama revealed that the fraudulent emails, purportedly sent from [email protected] and claiming to be from the NDDC’s ‘Board Registry’, invite recipients to a fictitious document verification and authentication exercise.

According to her, the purported exercise is scheduled to take place from May 19 to May 21 at Bishop Oluwole Street, Victoria Island, Lagos.

“Members of the public are hereby advised that the NDDC has no affiliation with this fraudulent selection process,” she stressed.
