The Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) is a parastatal of the Ministry of Petroleum Resources established by Decree 25 of 1973 for the purpose of developing and promoting petroleum technology and for creating the manpower needs of the oil and gas industry through research and training of Nigerians.
To ensure a steadfast implementation of this mandate, PTDF is inviting applications from suitably qualified candidates for Overseas and in-Country MSc and PhD Scholarships. Awarded will be granted for studies in the 2016/2017 academic session in the United Kingdom Germany, Australia, USA and France (Grenoble INP) as well as PTDF upgraded Universities in Nigeria.
Application Forms can be accessed online at http://www.ptdf.cinfores.com using an ATM (Interswitch, Master Card & Visa card) or through purchase of a scratch card from designated main branches of First Bank of Nigeria Plc in all the 36 States and FCT, upon payment of a NON-REFUNDABLE sum of N1,000 (One Thousand Naira Only). Instructions on how to access the form online is clearly stated on the backside of the cards.
Applicants may please note that only those who meet the requirements below shall be shortlisted and invited for a Computer Based Aptitude Test, in the case of MSc applicants, while oral interview will be conducted for PhD applicants (full time and Split-site) on dates to be announced later. Following the aptitude tests and interview, successful candidates will be selected and awarded the PTDF Scholarship.
PTDF however wishes to inform applicants that the Overseas Scholarship Scheme was instituted as a short term measure to address identified skills gaps, pending the outcome of the various capacity building efforts being made to enable our domestic universities effectively handle the onerous task of grooming qualitative professionals in the oil and gas related disciplines. With the numerous upgrade programmes executed by the Fund in some Federal Universities in Nigeria, emphasis has shifted to training Nigerians in-country. Consequently, only a limited number of candidates will be sponsored overseas and the rest in Nigerian Universities listed below.

BUK To Admit 25% of Candidates that Participated in Its 2015/2016 Post-UTME

The Vice Chancellor of Bayero University Kano, Prof. Muhammad Yahuza Bello, has disclosed that the institution will admit only 25% of admission seekers this year.

Bayero University Kano (BUK) will admit about twenty five per cent of this year’s post-UTME candidates seeking admission into the institution.

According to him, over 20,000 candidates out of the several thousands who have chosen BUK as their first choice scored the minimum 180 points in their JAMB UTME.

He further stated that all those who sat and passed the minimum PUTME points of 160 would be automatically admitted, but not necessarily the course of their choice.

Adding that over 700 out of those that applied for MBBS have all passed the exams, but the admission capacity for the programme was just 130, therefore the remaining candidates would be sent to other science related courses and this applies to all programmes.
