NDDC ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME

The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) in its desire to grow the economy of the Niger Delta Region through Trade and Commerce, promoted the establishment of the Niger Delta Chambers Of Commerce,Industry, Trade, Mines and Agriculture (NDCCITMA) that will facilitate business development across the region from the grassroot level.
 

To benefit from the activities of the NDCCITMA, everyone is expected to have a registered enterprise or belong to a cooperative group.
 

It is in the light of the above and in accordance with the intent of the Commission to assist the potential entrepreneurs in the Niger Delta region, and thus boost the economic activities of the people, that the Commission has concluded plans to
assist Niger Delta indigent persons to register their enterprises with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC).

Potential beneficiaries must meet the following criteria:
i. Must be an indigene of Niger Delta Region
ii. Are currently operating a business without CAC registration

Qualified persons in their respective States are advised to collect the Application forms from the DDC State office in their State. Completed forms should be returned to the same office or sent to the email address/ WhatsApp number below.

NOTE: The exercise will be in place for 90 days from the date of this advert.

DISCLAIMER: BEWARE OF FRAUDULENT POSTGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP FACILITATORS

The attention of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, has been drawn to series of fraudulent emails and messages being sent to applicants of the Postgraduate Foreign Scholarship Programme.

The mailing address ([email protected]), claiming to be the Commission's ‘Board Registry,’ invites unsuspecting members of the public to a fake document verification and authentication exercise scheduled for May 19th—21st, 2025, at 30 Bishop Oluwole Street, Victoria Island, Lagos.

We want to clarify that the NDDC is not associated with this fraudulent selection process and exercise. All official communications concerning the scholarship programme will only be through the official NDDC portal (www.scholarship.nddc.gov.ng).

Applicants are strongly advised to disregard any unsolicited messages requesting money, an invitation, sensitive information, or offering scholarship placement outside of the official NDDC processes. Anyone who receives such messages is encouraged to report them immediately to the appropriate authorities, as your safety and privacy are our priority.

We urge those with legitimate inquiries about the scholarship programme to contact us through our official channels. We also encourage beneficiaries of our programmes to verify facts on the NDDC's official website: [www.nddc.gov.ng].

DISCLAIMER: NDDC Youth Internship Scheme: N50,000 Monthly Stipend Payment

The attention of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, has been drawn to misleading information circulating in the social media, requesting “all Nigerian youths” to submit their account numbers for the payment of N50,000 monthly stipend promised by the Commission for beneficiaries of its Youth Internship Scheme.

The fraudsters behind this mischievous information are luring the youths to submit their account details and other personal information in order to receive the payment.

Please, note that the NDDC has not released the final list of beneficiaries, which will be drawn from the Commission’s official database of those registered between August 5, 2024, when the registration was formally launched and August 31, 2024, when it closed.

We wish to appeal to those who registered for the scheme to exercise patience, as we are almost through with the selection process.

We advise members of the public, especially our youths who are eagerly waiting for the completion of the selection process, to beware of the antics of scammers and seek information only from the NDDC official channels.

We are being very meticulous with the selection process because we remain committed to transparency and fairness in all our activities, including our youth empowerment programmes.

It is indeed disturbing that some mischievous individuals are trying to take advantage of our youths who are genuinely eager to be gainfully engaged in legitimate activities.

All inquiries about our Youth Internship Scheme and other empowerment programmes, should be channeled through our official information platforms. We also encourage beneficiaries of our programmes to verify facts on the NDDC's official website: [www.nddc.gov.ng] and social media handles.
