Nigeria is a colony of the puritan world. |

By God's grace i graduated as one the best student in my department from one the best polytechnics in Nigeria. Due to this discrimination against polytechnic graduates, i decided to apply for a post-hnd program (HND to B.ENG conversion) immediately after my youth service. To the glory of God, am now a registered engineer (COREN) and also a corporate member of NSE (MNSE). Now the question is if I remain an hnd graduate will I be in the position i found myself in my career today, the answer is "NO". This issue of dichotomy will remain forever until our education is restructure. Even though most polytechnic graduates esp. those that studied engineering are technically sound more than there university counterparts. Another question is how many Phd or professor are lecturing in our polytechnics? In fact some B.Sc holders lecture in our polytechnics. So how is it possible to equate university graduates with polytechnic graduate, is not possible no matter how good you are esp. in Nigeria where we cherish certificates. There must always be a limitation. We might say is not by lecturer but it's very important in education. For the little one who are aspiring to achieve a greater position in there career in Nigeria can try to enroll to one of those universities running post-hnd program while they are still working. In certificate wise, the worst university in Nigeria is better than the best polytechnic |
