Following the botched Nigerian Immigration Service
(NIS) recruitment held last year at various stadia
across the country, which led to the untimely death
of over 14 job seekers, the federal government has
systematically weeded out HND graduates in the
ongoing recruitment exercise.
.
The ongoing recruitment, which started about a week ago, has three categories of vacancies:
Superintendent Cadre - Assistant Superintendent of
Immigration II (ASI II) – CONPASS 08, which is strictly for B.Sc holders; Inspectorate Cadre - Assistant Inspector of Immigration (AII) – CONPASS 06, for holders of ND and NCE; Immigration Assistant Cadre- Immigration Assistant III (IA3) – CONPASS 03 for ‘O’ and ‘A’ level holders.
.
This shows that the HND graduates are being forced
under the present arrangement to use ND certificates as they are short of options and considering the high level of unemployment in the country.
.
Speaking with THISDAY at one of the cybercafes in
Abuja where the registration is being done, an
applicant, Mr. Usman Sikiru, a graduate of Adamawa Polytechnic, Mubi, said: “For two years now, I have been looking for a job without any success, I’m left with no choice than to use my ND result so that I will be able to apply for the job.”
He lamented that the dichotomy between the HND
and B.sc holders must stop.
.
Also, another applicant, Mr. Solomon Afijara, said:
“Last year I applied for this same job before it was
cancelled due to the death of some applicants and
the woeful arrangement. We all paid the same
amount with the B.Sc holders, but now government is trying to relegate us to the bench, is it a crime to be a polytechnic graduate?”
.
On his part, Mr. Ogunsanya Timothy who is also an
applicant, stated that if the government cannot put a stop to the discrimination against HND holders,
polytechnics in the country should be scraped.

Truth is some FG parastatals do not follow the no discrimination rule of the FGN.I hope those affected take this up with the parastatals. More so, they should scrap the polytechnics so that people don't waste valuable time and money if at the end of day their certificates are not recognized.

Most blames should be channelled to minister of education and UBEc and other boodies that are involve in these academic avocation! Should blames be thrown to the president for every little trouble people encounter in their daily living?

Hmmm....
