The dichotomy is still there,level 8 is only applicable to the new entrants,the seniority is different,it will easier to. identify HND and Bsc among them as it happens in civil service when we have executives and officers cadre.

That means the people that designed the educational curriculum are so stupid. Even though most people will jubilate over this, but there's difference between SSCE, OND, HND, BACHELORS, MASTERS, and PhD holders.
Why not equate SSCE and B.Sc too? Or Masters and PhD? Organisations pay different salaries for a reason.

HR personnel should throw more light.

Well, after all in the present Nigeria, OND/HND are getting jobs more than B.Sc/Masters holders. Not because of experience or what, but for 'Cheap' labour.

we have been hearing this since last year.but when those with hnd go for master's degree they will be told to go and do PGD first unlike their counterpart .

infantlion:
I see no difference between B.Sc and HND holders....

Be deceiving yourself.....

Please does this apply to all the parastaatals and govt agencies. Or only the parastaatals under the Ministry of Interior. Cause this move should be done and announced by the Minister of Labour to circumvent all Govt parastaatals. And not the Minister of Interior. The Minister of Interior has only a few agencies under his purview.

If so, then the caption should not be generalized with the entire FED GOVT.

Very good only if It'll be implemented

No no no no....I'm not jealous. I like the way FG removed the dichotomy but it doesn't make it right to generally say both degrees are equal. The are not equal bro.

This is one of the things wrong with Nigerians and the way we think in this country.
I have no problems with equating salaries in federal institutions, but the F.G has no right to tell me who to hire or what to pay them in my organization. A b.sc can never be the same as a H.Nd because the entry requirements are different. Most people end up in polys because their SSCE's were not good enough or they couldn't make jamb.period. now giving them the same grade as people who work the asses off to earn B.Sc is unfair and ridiculous. Why don't we just scrap polytechnics then and make them all universities with the same basic entry requirements for all ??.then equate their grades and salaries.

Say no to crime.

I can see that most pipo here are blinded to the fact to it only applies to few.

The Federal Government has ended the dichotomy between holders of University degrees and Higher National Diploma in all the Para-military services.

Thank God for the real Presido at work. He is one of the kind that understands education just like GEJ.

what do you expect of a country with no destinaton not to talk of road maps.........NCE holders should start agitating too

in fact any post SSCE qualifications should be made equal also......

but what about employment ratio ?

Is this what will make us happy, they're are distracting us with this news.

asuustrike2009:

How please explain?

Be wise, read btw the lines, the dichotomy still exists. Placing them on equal salary though commendable is nt enough. Why should hnd holders have different nomenclature, senior inspectors. That puts them far below a superintendent in paramilitary ranking system, even the salaries will differ with time. Customs' template is the best, both hnd & Bsc start with same level and rank. And it is worthy of note that this only applies to paramilitary.

Where are the jobs?

best post on the thread.. Happy for the poly guys.. .but Pls let's apply the handbrake and ask some potent questions because tins don't just fall in line like that.Wont they have to do PGD again,will private firms and multinationals be foeced. .before celebrating or otherwise,lets us understand and carefully digest the content of what was passed and what the would be implementation entails

How many times are we suppose to hear this news? I am asking because I once had same news last year. Somebody should correct me if am wrong.

The dichotomy was not completely removed from the write up. They only equated the entry points, but the entry ranks are different. While one starts as senior Inspector the other starts as Assistant Suprintendent 1. The curricular of both are different. Existing regulation is for an Hnd holder to do a Pgd for 9 months to get equated. With the Pgd, they can decide to go for higher degrees if they so desire. No one should allow a class of certificate limit them. If you feel unfulfied, go for higher certificate. The truth of the matter is that Nigerias educational system was copied from the UK. A typical UK polytechnic runs both the Hnd and the degree program side by side because they were not made to be same. Even in Nigeria before now, to emphasize that difference, while you were expected to have 5 credits as entry requirement for the degree program, that of Ond/Hnd was 4 credits.

From experience, i advise any career driven person who hate to be oppress to please do a conversion programme and get your B.Sc. After years of discrimination in the Office despite my Professional Qualifications i was on same level for 7 years until I my B.Sc in 2015. Do not trust government policy they are not consistent and private organisations are not finance by government, they make policies that suit their existence especially in a competitive environment like ours. Please be pragmatic in your dealings.

U are sick come lets sit for exam na u would know dat going to university is just an opportunity not by ur intelligence.as a matter of fact wen i did my pgd all courses i did have been done at hnd level so judge
