The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has issued a warning to Nigerians about scammers offering fake scholarships.
These fraudulent individuals are targeting unsuspecting Nigerians by sending deceptive emails, claiming to be from the NDDC and offering non-existent postgraduate scholarships.
The scammers are reportedly using the email address nddcregistry@gmail.com, inviting recipients to attend a fake document verification and authentication exercise in Lagos. The NDDC has made it clear that it has no connection to this fraudulent operation and does not conduct such events.
The NDDC emphasized that all official communications regarding scholarship programs are made through its official website and portal. The public is urged to ignore unsolicited messages requesting money, personal details, or offering scholarships outside the NDDC’s official processes.
Anyone who encounters such fraudulent emails should report them immediately to law enforcement authorities. For legitimate inquiries, Nigerians are encouraged to visit the NDDC’s official communication channels to verify any information. The NDDC remains committed to safeguarding the privacy and security of its applicants.
