National Information Technology Development Agency, (NITDA) recently held a one on one screening for its 2017/2018 prospective scholars at their Corporate Head Office in Abuja.

Dr Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami FBCS, Director General National Information Technology Development Agency, congratulated the scholars for passing the written exams and also for scoring the highest marks from their respective states of origin.

He disclosed that NITDA’s scholarship scheme is based on quota system and competitive merit, as such, those with a tie in their respective states would still undergo a further test as the Agency can only afford to sponsor one person per state due to budgetary constrain.

Dr Usman Gambo Abdullahi, Director Information Technology and Infrastructure Solutions Department, represented Dr. Pantami at the credential verification and interview exercise.
