Polytechnic students under The National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS) have given the President, Major General Muhammadu (retd.), 14 working days to end the dichotomy between the Higher National Diploma and Bachelor of Science holders by assenting to the HND/BSC Dichotomy bill.

The Senate arm of the students’ union gave the president this 14-day ultimatum on Monday in a statement signed by its Deputy Senate President, Comrade Adeniji Boluwaji Temitope.

It would be recalled that the 9th National Assembly has long passed a bill for an Act to abolish and prohibit the dichotomy and discrimination between First Degree and Higher National Diploma; however, President Buhari has failed to assent to the bill.

“It is no more news that Nigerian polytechnic students and polytechnic graduates have been facing difficulties of dichotomy for the past years, in which the stakeholders in polytechnic education sector have put so much pressure and resources on the 9th National Assembly to pass the Bill for an Act to abolish and prohibit dichotomy and discrimination between first degree and Higher National Diploma, the 9th National Assembly has done a very good job by passing the Bill but the President Assent to make it a law has not be assented,” the union stated.

Thought this had been resolved years back
Surprised the bill is yet to be assented by the President.
His recent apology should include righting the wrongs within the remain few days of his administration.

The love of a combination of office job and fat salary is the root of educational derailment in Nigeria.

We are no longer in the 1970s when skilled bureaucrats were lacking and universities could fill them up easily. We already have them in excess and need skilled workers to support production - one of the core areas polytechnics addresses in labour market. This bill is misplaced one. Make polytechnics and universities strong instead of upgrading all into one category.
