The North West Development Commission (NWDC) has officially cancelled its foreign scholarship application scheme, following a recent directive from the Federal Government to prioritise local educational development across the country.
This was contained in an announcement issued by the Commission on May 8, 2025, signed by its Management.
The statement referenced the Federal Government’s position, made public on May 7, 2025, by Mrs. Boriowo Folasade, Director of Press and Public Relations at the Federal Ministry of Education.
According to the announcement, the Federal Government’s directive emphasised the need to strengthen indigenous institutions and focus on local capacity building as a more sustainable approach to national development.
“In line with the Federal Government's recent directive to prioritise local education in Nigeria, the North West Development Commission (NWDC) announces the cancellation of applications for foreign scholarships,” the Commission stated.
The NWDC reaffirmed its commitment to aligning with national policies and assured stakeholders that new opportunities geared towards regional development and education would be communicated in due course.
