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
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 3 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.

Regional President WAPSU 2 Likes |
