• Uchibeke Ugobame - 03:30:01 01/05/10: Hello Sir, I am Uchibeke Ugobame a Rivers citizen. I have a very important information about the Rivers State Sustaineble development agency (RSSDA) and the overseas scholarship that affects Rivers state in general and YOU in particular. Please read on……….. There a problem with the Rivers State overseas Scholarship conducted(selection of candidiates still ongoing) by the RSSDA for the 2010/2011 section that I would like you to know about. It affects us all as a State and as individuals. This is because the kind of people that are sent abroad to study would certainly be those who would return and manage the State. I observed that The 2010/2011 RSSDA scholarship processes were not transparent and fair. This is because despite the fact that almost all universities around the world accept the Nigerian NECO SSCE result/certificate and even our NABTEB (National Business and Technical examination board) NTC/NBC certificate; the RSSDA refused to interview and therefore disqualified all the candidates who had just NECO and/or NABTEB. Out of upwards of fifteen thousand candidates that wrote the test, those disqualified are among the five hundred and seventy five candidates shortlisted for the oral interview. They were disqualified when they came for the interview. The NECO and NABTEB are our own National exams and if we don’t value it, then, nobody would and its value would continue to depreciate. Many of us who passed the exams have been disqualified because of the NECO result issue. This would give the RSSDA opportunity to be fraudulent by replacing those disqualified with people that could not even pass the exams and sometimes with non Rivers State students. This issue has destabilized many candidates who were not interviewed. The sad thing is that they have all the necessary documents and even excellent O’level result but they were disqualified because they had the Nigerian NECO and/or NABTEB which is accepted internationally. Why then, were they disqualified? Is it that getting admission internationally with NECO/NABTEB is more challenging than getting with WAEC, and therefore the contractors do not want much stress? No matter what the answer is the fact is that NECO and/or NABTEB ARE ACCEPTED INTERNATIONALLY. We can’t just sit and watch things go wrong in our beloved state, please lets join hands and ACT NOW. You can do a lot to stop this mess. The right has to be done and therefore, Let the RSSDA be called to order and the those that were not interviewed because they had NECO/NABTEB without WAEC be interviewed so that we can say that the selection process was without bias. please help me and other candidates by making my compliant public. This will go a long way in improving the human capital development in the state. Thanks and May God give you more Light, Life and Love.
