ASABA/Nigeria: The Delta State Government has stated that some unscrupulous person or group of persons with fake website http://dsbsb.dl-gov.ng are calling on students of Delta State origin in tertiary institutions to register for Students Special Assistance Scheme (SSAS) with the sum of N1,000 (one thousand naira), as processing fee payable online.
A statement signed by the Director of Information, Mr Paul Osahor indicated that the Delta State Bursary and Scholarship Board is the only Board permitted by law to handle any issue relating to Students Special Assistance Scheme (SSAS) in the State with the official website http://dsbsb.dl.gov.ng
The statement further stressed that the Delta State Bursary and Scholarship Board is currently paying students the 2015/2016 bursary. However, the Board is waiting for the Governor’s approval to enable the Board open the website for the 2016/2017 registration exercise.
Explaining the difference in the two websites, the statement added that while the Delta State Bursary and Scholarship Board website dl.gov.ng, the fake website has dl-gov.ng.
It advised parents, guardians and students of Delta State origin to take note of the Delta State Bursary and Scholarship Board website and be guided so that they don’t fall into wrong hands of dubious persons who want to cash in on the ignorance of the students to dupe them of their hard earned money.
