Breaking News: HND/BSc
Dichotomy Removed.
At last, it is with excitement,
capital joy amidst jubilation and
celebration of over 20 years
struggle of Nigerian Polytechnic
students and graduates including
the staff unions and heads of
Polytechnic in Nigeria.
I am pleased to announce to the
public that the COUNCIL OF
ESTABLISHMENT which comprises
of all the head of service of the 36
States of the Federation and the
head of service of the Federation
approved the removal of this long
overdue dichotomy which hinder
the career progression of HND
holders in civil service in her 39th
meeting held in Minna Niger state
capital during the week after an
exhaustive deliberation, pro and
anti deposition which ended with
tie vote of 16 against 16 while the
head of service of the Federation
voted in support as presiding
officer after the tie, to earn the
Polytechnic sector the victory.
Making the vote 17 pro against 16
anti. Henceforth, This resolution
automatically lift embargo on HND
holder career progression in civil
service as the holder can now rise
beyond Deputy Director in civil
service as well enjoy all sort of
benefits/promotion to the topmost
rank due to BSc holders in civil
service.
It is on record that this same
Council was the sole obstacle for
this struggle since year 2005 when
President Olusegun Obasanjo
pronounced the removal of this
dichotomy, the Council called the
then president statement a mere
pronouncement with out
documentation and refused it
adoption nor implementation.
It will be recalled that the last
meeting of the council which was
held at Ilorin kwara state capital
witness heavy presence of Nigeria
Polytechnic students which I
personally led as the National
Senate President of NAPS to the
council in protest for the need for
the council to reconsider her
position on the said matter.
A position paper was submitted
after the protest as demanded by
the then head of service of
Federation who was the chairman
of the Council, unfortunately, the
matter was completely discussed
nor concluded at Ilorin until now
in her next meeting in Niger state.
The Council often meets every 2
years, On behalf of the entire West
Africa Polytechnic students and
most especially the Nigeria
Polytechnic students, I express
sincere gratitude to the head of
service of states and that of the
Federation who stood for us and
with us, the Federal Ministry of
Education, the National Board for
Technical Education NTBE, Council
of Head of Polytechnic and
Colleges of Technology COHEADS,
Academic Staff Union of
Polytechnic ASUP, past and present
leadership of National Association
Of Polytechnic Students NAPS and
by extension the Nigerians Union
of journalist for their support all
through the struggle.
We look forward for immediate
implementation by all state of the
Federation, Federal government
agencies and departments while I
call on all Polytechnic student to
join us as we Commence
appreciation/celebration.
Aluta continua, Victoria Ascerta,
No retreat no surrender,
As long as we live, struggle
continues.

I hope this news is for real. I am an advocate that it should be removed. Come on, we ought to be judged based on our intellectual prowess not allowing this dichotomy to be a barrier to productivity in the labour market. SOMETIMES the Polytechnic graduates are more productive, so why place a barrier on these hardworking persons who may due to poor finances could not get University education. Am a Polytechnic Student of Accountancy and I may not be perfect but amongst my mates in University am among the best. It's just about the ability of the individual not about HND or degree. I hope private sector follows suit most especially the banking sector.. 1 Like |
