[quote author=Nwaonyeocha post=51140423]Thank you so much.
You have taken this issue as an individual thing. Honestly, you are offering me the needed drive to do it and do it right.
First class? Hmmmmmmm
Should I go Mass Communication, I am sure to make that grade. I missed it by a little margin.
But I want to change to a business course for the B.Sc. Your words are golden.

I was in your shoes too my brother. I finished ma OND from yabatech with a strong upper credit and I tried DE 3 times. Due to what I heard abt this so called discrimination and wat I saw while in GTB for ma IT made me wow never to go back for HND. Am currently in 300l osun state university. Never give up. You can go for PT if FT doesn't work out.

No university will employ him as a lecturer even with HND+PGD+MSC, only polytechnic can. Even to be employed in a polytechnic the PGD should be in the core field(mass comm not in education+ MSC. Academic carreer for HND is very narrow , you can only work as a technologist, so my advice is obtain a degree if you're passionate about working in academic as lecturer. I'm a senior technologist working in a polytechnic , speaking from experience
with Hnd+Msc You Are Fit To Lecture In University.

Just register with jamb, submit ur credentials at the senate building of the university, meet the earlier stated criteria and await admission list. No need for any exam.

Rebuke:




Just a quick question. Does your BSc grade matter? Let's assume your PGD result is good, does your BSc result still count when it comes to lecturing job?
Your question is a bit complicated, but I will try to answer it clearly. First, if you have a poor BSc grade you cannot get a graduate assistant lecturing position which is the entry position for people with BSc only. if you already have an MSc, you won't be considered for this position. To secure a graduate assistant lecturing position in most universities, you need to have a minimum of second class upper and above. So your BSc counts in this position. However, if you have a poor BSc grade and wishes to lecture, you have to make sure you make a good grade in your PGD (assuming your grade is too low to secure a direct Master's programme) so that you can be considered for a master's programme. If you make a good grade in your master's programme (by good grade I mean PhD grade), then your chances of securing an Assistant lecturing position is high. Lol but with a godfather, all these requirements maybe bypassed! I hope I have answered your question?

I am not sure a distinction is the minimum requirement. You can give it a try if you desire, who knows, you might be given admission.

Those of you that are saying 'OP' can't lecture with HND+PGD+Msc+PhD, you are all wrong.
this is a screen shot from UNIBen website.
OP you can get to the peak of your career in the field of lecturing if you want to. There is no need to go start all over from point zero.
It's a slap to even dream about that.

guy I don't want to call you a fool, at the age of 42 you can't still figure out what you want to become in life. What type of question is this, do you really want to become a lecturer or you just came to make fool of your self. You said senior lecturer or assistant lecturer . What have they turn nigerian university into . Guy park well . An inspiring lecturer coming to social media for advice instead of going to meet other lecturer for advice

ObadakiM:
I think you don't need to pass through the journey of going back to start all over(but if you have the time & money, U can jump on the train).
For me you can go for your pgd in Mass comm, then go for your Msc after that go for your PhD, but ensure that all your qualifications are in the same field. Also, before you complete your PhD ensure that you have papers you have published. I bet you with your PhD and your publications, Universities 'll beg you to come lecture ("but ensure you know your course as the back of your hand"wink.
I have a friend who pass through this process and he his lecturing in one of the Federal Universities.

However, if you still insist in going to the University, you can try UNISA and complete your degree within a year (online) and it's a recognized degree (I have a friend who used the degree to further his Msc in UNILAG).
Well, with all the ideas given above you have lots of options to pick from. Good luck
Please stop misinforming the Op, the minimum requirement to securing a lecturing position in all government owned universities is degree and online degrees is not even recognised by NUC. By citing your friends to buttress your point shows you're not even saying the truth. You're just citing those imaginary friends so that we can believe you.

You lack manners, and sound very stupid!
Go back to your parents and beg them to teach you how to interact with strangers. Spits!

Young man, I won't come here to misinform both young & old Nigerians. I know what I am saying. There are online degree and online degree. You cant over look an online degree from a university like Universities from UK and UNISA(NUC will never reject it if you present it for Msc).
Also, u shld not conclude if you don't have fact to back your points. I told you I have friends and its a fact. I even went ahead to give u a screenshot of uniben a Fed university, to show that with your HND+pgd+Msc you can lecture. So now who is misinforming who?

But you can't go for your Ph.D without a B.Sc. Bachelor degree is very important, and its your first degree ever and not a certificate.

Most jobs demands for a First Degree holder and not a second degree or National Certificate.

Best wishes.

Guy, what is the requirement for PhD? Answer; Msc at merit level or 60% (PhD grade) with this, no University in the world will deny u admission to study for your PhD. Just go for your pgd->Msc->PhD. Don't allowed any body to fool u. The former rector of Auchi Poly had HND from Auchi Poly and her pgd, Msc & Phd from a Nigerian University. So with HND u can lecture in any University in as much as u have your Msc
Thank you,
