It could be your left hand o  that can make you to sign what you should not sign or
write what you should not write there by making you to sin.

The bible says this says that.

Nobody ever remove his eyes by obeying what it says, but whenever it is time for tithe we claimed to be obeying the bible.   Human !

Check the salary issue now states are on their own

Let wait and see. States would go in POWER way now!

Still play its role but not like before, work with NUC

The Diploma now is refered to as NON_ Degree component of University. FG has no poytechnic again.

Retroactive effect will handle that.

I am the Eldest. I will not even take a "VICE"

Let give more useful posting, 2005 like yesterday, Seun thank you

The bible say if your Writing hand cause you to sin Cut it off also remove your eyes. I have not seen anybody removing his eyes  after looking at bad films or blue film or young girls dressing to Kill.

mickyj269:
My guy i feel your pain, when i was in poly d discrimination was hell to the extent i had 2 seek 4 direct entry.

Who is your GUY?, I do not have any Bachelors degree yet I am happy in life.

All with retroactive effect. E.g All HND graduate of Calabar polytechnics are now rated as Graduates and all promoted to 15 and 16 Level.

They run as they like, poly stops at ND level officially with FG

State and private proprietors of polytechnics and colleges of education reserved the right to continue to run their programmes the way they choose.

They have examples in the Ogun State-owned Tai Solarin College of Education, Ijagun, Ogun State, now Tai Solarin University of Education

The Polytechnic, Calabar, now Cross River State University of Technology (CRUTECH).

Yes Poly and HND will die together.

1 National Diploma (ND) programmes will be retained "as a non-degree component of the university
2 to continue to produce the critical middle level manpower that the country needs.

3 The consolidation of these institutions and the conversion of YABATECH and Kaduna Polytechnic into universities will solve the problem permanently.

4 a state and private proprietors of polytechnics and colleges of education reserved the right to continue to run their programmes the way they choose.

4b they have examples in the Ogun State-owned Tai Solarin College of Education, Ijagun, Ogun State, now Tai Solarin University of Education

4c The Polytechnic, Calabar, now Cross River State University of Technology (CRUTECH).


5. Federal Government has approved the upgrading of Yaba and the Kaduna Polytechnic to universities,

6 Remaining 17 Federal Polytechnics and 21 Federal Colleges of Education in the country are to be consolidated with their proximate and contiguous universities.

Let all the polytechnic die.

Happy new time Iam still here full of fun

FG to Scrap HND Programmes
By Bukola Olatunji, 01.18.2007

The Higher National Diploma (HND) as a programme in the country’s education system would cease to exist in a matter of months, Chairman of the Presidential Technical Committee on Consolidation of Tertiary Institutions, Prof Mahmood Yakubu has said.
Addressing the management, staff and students of the Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH), Lagos, yesterday, Yakubu said, "From the day the report (of the committee) is finally approved and the necessary changes in the law made, in the next few months, there will be no HND as a qprogramme anywhere. It will be abolished and replaced by B. Sc, B.Eng., and B. Tech. as the case may be."
But the National Diploma (ND) programmes will be retained "as a non-degree component of the university to continue to produce the critical middle level manpower that the country needs."
Describing HND as one of the sour points in polytechnic education, because employers of labour and universities refuse to rate it as equivalent to a university degree for the purpose of employment and admission to higher degrees respectively, "The consolidation of these institutions and the conversion of YABATECH and Kaduna Polytechnic into universities will solve the problem permanently."
He however explained that state and private proprietors of polytechnics and colleges of education reserved the right to continue to run their programmes the way they choose.
Although they have examples in the Ogun State-owned Tai Solarin College of Education, Ijagun, Ogun State, now Tai Solarin University of Education and The Polytechnic, Calabar, now Cross River State University of Technology (CRUTECH). Yakubu stressed that the Committee was not at YABATECH to determine whether the college was fit to be a university or not.
That hurdle has been crossed as the Federal Government has approved the upgrading of the college and the Kaduna Polytechnic to universities, while the remaining 17 Federal Polytechnics and 21 Federal Colleges of Education in the country are to be consolidated with their proximate and contiguous universities.

The committee visited the college, he said, to interact with the management, staff and students to be able to make notes and advise government properly on what is on ground and what needs to be done and added to ensure a smooth take-off of the institution.
The Committee appointed on Tuesday, November 7, last year is to submit its report at the end of the month.
Responding, the Rector of YABATECH, Mr. Olubunmi Owoso described the transformation of the two polytechnics into universities as "a master stroke in the reform agenda."
A requested that the first tertiary institution in the country be renamed ‘City University, Yaba’ and not the ‘City University of Lagos’ that was announced when the proposal was first made.

Educational deformation

In spite of the relatively high numbers of Polytechnics and Universities of Technology in Nigeria, the nation still faces the stark realities of an abysmally low technology base.

The effects of poor technology manifest in all fronts ranging from poor economy to inability to properly maintain facilities inherited from colonial masters.

Other important sectors adversely affected include agriculture, utilities such as water and electricity supply, waste management, transportation, building and construction, infrastructure such as road, industrialization, employment etc

What is Polytechnic Education in Nigeria
As we all know, the Polytechnic is one of the tripod stands upon which higher education rest in Nigeria – the other two being the University and the College of Education. The Polytechnics in Nigeria had evolved from what used to be Colleges of Technology.
In Nigeria, the different levels of government have adopted education as an instrument, par excellence, for effecting national development. Higher education is one of the items specifically listed in part II of the second schedule of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999. In effect, both the Federal and State Governments have coordinate jurisdiction on the subject matter.
Further to this, Section 5 of the National Policy on education (revised) 1981 States that Higher Education should aim at:
(a) the acquisition, development and inculcation of the proper value-orientation for the survival of the individual and society;
(b) the development of the intellectual capacities of individuals to understand and appreciate their environments;
(c) the acquisition of both physical and intellectual skills which will enable individuals to develop into useful members of the community;
(d) the acquisition of an objective view of the local and external environments.
Furthermore, Section 6 of the said National Policy on Education, listed the Polytechnics as one of the five types of technical education institutions outside the Universities which offer technical education. It further defined technical education as “that aspect of education which leads to the acquisition of practical and applied skills as well as basic scientific knowledge”.,

Dr. Peter Ayodele Fayose, while accepting the Honourary Fellowship of the Polytechnic, Ibadan (Hon. FPI) on Friday 02 December, 2005.

I think you will say it started from Poly

Fayose once said "The polytechnics that most of the adaptive researches, relevant to national aspirations for development were being carried out.     

Over 75 percent of polytechnic lecturers are university graduates and are designated as lecturers, having the career path of becoming Chief Lecturer, Head of School, and Rector.

Polytechnic graduates are called instructors and cannot attain any of these positions except they get additional University degree.

This discrimination, is now more prevalent in the larger society where some government agencies and private companies have refused to employ polytechnic graduates".

All we want is certificate that is call Degree even if it is from "Toronto"

Hnd or polytechnic is not the issue,
Equality is the game.
I am superior that is the issue. Everyone want to be call oga.

Why pegging HND progress?
(You peg Nigeria progress Technologicallyas well)

Today we import everything you can think of, Why? All your underwear are fairly use, think of common toy!

Let polytechnic go

This is just a sympathetic speech  parents do not want poly as school fit for their wards they look at you as mis fit with sympathy as if HND holders are not human being. Whenever they want technological things let them send their own children.

It is not the HND it is the people
How can a technical college compare with school certificate holder

So Polytechnic equiped with skills to do technological job now want to be a secondary school teacher. NCE holder will be a better teacher.

LONG THROAT is an emsrrassment.

yes o

HND Certificate, An Embarrassment?

NO           QED

HND Prepare me for the unknown, because of a reason I made it to POLYTECHNIC . Some are looking at me as lucky man for they can not have OND.
HND to a school certificate holder is not an embarrassment , HND to him na BABA

But when you go beyong your level to compete where you are not wanted then?

I made it in life in my own way with HND
