The above link offers details of the recent move of the federal government to empower the higher national diploma HND
Awarded by polytechnics to bachelors of Technology B.tech as awarded by university of technology. However this move
Equally renders non-technology base courses in the polytechnic redundant as 70% of courses currently in the polytechnic such as
Offered in the schools of business studies like accounting,marketing,banking and finance are brought to light here.

Kaduna polytechnic and YABATECH have had their names changed under this move which has already being passed into law.The may certain
bring an end to the long age and the discrimination between polytechnic and some university graduates .this could also interprets as equal employment chances for HND and Btech holders in NIgeria.soon as they present intakes of HND students have graduated there may not be another set except such admission is granted through the affiliate university.

Will this really bring an equality to the HND and university graduates in NIgeria?or is this just another erroneous move from the current leadership of change
Which results to gross pain?

I hope its true and not one of those rumors we've been hearing over the years, come to think of it HND (tech) graduate go through a lot of training and are in most cases better in field work than degree holders, so I see no reason for the discrimination in our society.

I say its a good move.
