Having read through the responses nosotros got from the 2 agencies, it seems security to deduce the following:
- That the Luz Neema Foundation (LNF) is genuinely registered amongst the Canadian regime every bit an Ontario (provincial) not-for-profit corporation; although nosotros cannot confirm same amongst the Corporate Affairs Commission of Nigeria every bit they are yet to respond to our query; and
- That the validity or otherwise of their scholarship programme is an number that ONLY a legal counsel tin adjudicate on.
In our opinion, at that spot are several alternative scholarships to apply to (without whatever asking for money), in addition to nosotros STRONGLY suggest that all students apply to these other ones. Although nosotros convey no prove to firmly suggest against applying, however, nosotros would NOT last held liable if whatever educatee eventually loses his money.
Goodluck to all hardworking students inwards Nigeria in addition to abroad!
