Dear all,

You may recall that I earlier promised to send the complete PDF of the Senate List today, being Friday.

Consequently, the University management is aware that minor errors may still be discovered on the list, and some individuals may wish to come for corrections starting from Monday. Unfortunately, the Students’ Affairs Team will be travelling to Abuja on Monday for the NYSC Workshop.

In view of this, it would be difficult to advise PCMs to stay back until after the workshop, as while some may comply, a larger number may still visit the Students’ Affairs Office despite the unavailability of officials to attend to them.

As a result, it has been concluded that the Senate List PDF will not be released until after the workshop, when all concerned officials will be available to properly attend to complaints, corrections, and other necessary issues.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding, and cooperation.

Yours in service.

If you’re applying for a lecturing position in Nigeria or for graduate studies abroad, you’ll typically need to provide three referees.
Their names, addresses, phone numbers, and email contacts should be clearly listed on your CV.
It’s important not to include anyone as a referee without first obtaining their consent. Always ask for permission and ensure they agree before assigning them that role.
Some people assume they can automatically list their undergraduate Head of Department, project supervisor, or a former lecturer, but this isn’t appropriate. Being taught by someone doesn’t mean they’re willing to recommend you—you must seek their approval.
Your referees may be asked to submit a recommendation letter addressed to the Registrar of the institution where you’re applying. In that letter, they’ll explain how they know you, how long they’ve known you, and assess your character and suitability for the position.
Have you ever been asked to serve as a referee before?

*RELOCATION MATTER*

I have been informed by several people about the issue on the portal.

Everyone is currently experiencing the “Relocation not successful” message after submitting their application. Please don’t panic.

Upload your medical report, fill in your details, and submit.

Then log out and log in again. If the state and reason fields are no longer clickable, it means your submission was successful.

If the state and reason fields are still clickable, you will need to reapply.

You’re welcome.

FG opens 2026 PTDF scholarship for engineering students

April 20, 2026

The Federal Government on Monday opened applications for the 2025/2026 in-country scholarship scheme for engineering and related disciplines in Nigerian universities.

The programme, administered by the Petroleum Technology Development Fund, opened its portal on Monday, April 20, 2026, and is scheduled to close on Friday, May 29, 2026.

The scheme targets undergraduate and postgraduate students in oil and gas–related fields, as part of efforts to build local capacity and strengthen technical expertise within Nigeria.

Interested candidates are expected to complete their applications within the six-week window via the official PTDF scholarship portal: https://scholarship.ptdf.gov.ng

How to apply (Step-by-step)

The PTDF outlined a structured application process that candidates must carefully follow:

Step 1: Create an account

Applicants are required to visit the PTDF scholarship portal and create an account by filling in their personal details.An email will be sent with instructions on how to log in and set a password.

Step 2: Log in to the portal

Candidates must log in using their registered email address and newly created password to access the application dashboard.

Step 3: Verify NIN

Before starting the application, applicants must verify their National Identification Number (NIN).PTDF warns that failed verification attempts should not be repeated unnecessarily to avoid multiple charges, advising candidates to resolve issues through the provided support channel.

Step 4: Accept disclaimer and terms

Applicants must read and accept the programme’s disclaimer and terms and conditions before proceeding. Declining the terms will automatically end the application.

Candidates are required to complete all sections of the application form, ensuring accuracy and compliance with specified file formats for uploads.

Step 6: Select course and institution

Applicants will choose their preferred universities and courses (first, second, and third choices).Postgraduate applicants are also required to upload a statement of purpose (for MSc) or research proposal (for PhD).

Step 7: Upload required documents
Mandatory documents include academic certificates, birth certificate, and local government identification.All files must meet size requirements, typically below 300KB in PDF format.

Step 8: Additional credentials

Applicants may upload professional memberships and publications (where applicable), with limits on the number of submissions.

Step 9: Review application
Candidates must carefully preview their application to correct any errors before submission.

Step 10: Final submission

Once submitted, applications cannot be edited. PTDF advises applicants to ensure all information is accurate before completing this step.

The scholarship supports students in approved courses across Nigerian universities linked to the oil and gas sector and allied industries.

The PTDF noted that the initiative is part of broader efforts to enhance human capital development within the country’s energy sector, reduce dependence on foreign expertise, and strengthen institutional capacity.

The PTDF in-country scholarship scheme is distinct from its overseas scholarship programme and is designed to support education within Nigeria’s tertiary institutions.

The initiative typically covers tuition support, stipends, and learning resources for selected candidates, with beneficiaries chosen based on merit and relevance of study to national development priorities

When your driver overspeeds, remind him that he is not Vin Diesel and that he is driving on a Nigerian road.

He might just be an agent of your village people, so if you don’t warn him, he could drive you straight to your ancestors.

Safe travels
