  • Orders NDDC to pay abandoned scholars

President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) to pay its scholarship beneficiaries studying abroad.

The President’s directive was contained in a statement titled ‘NDDC invites President Buhari to Commission Signature Project’, and signed by the NDDC Director, Corporate Affairs, Charles Odili.

This is coming barely 24 hours after the abandoned students protested at the Nigeria High Commission office in London.

Odili explained that the stranded students would be paid by the end of the week.

In a related development, the NDDC on Tuesday invited the President to inaugurate a 29-kilometre Ogbia-Nembe Road in Bayelsa State.

The road, built in conjunction with Shell Petroleum Development Company, creates a land link between Yenagoa and the ancient city of Nembe.
