EducationBreaking News Hnd/bsc Dichotomy Removed by sheyiOlu(op): 4:00pm On Jul 24, 2016
[b]Breaking News: HND/BSc Dichotomy Removed.

At last, it is with excitement, capital joy amidst jubilation and celebration of over 20 years struggle of Nigerian Polytechnic students and graduates including the staff unions and heads of Polytechnic in Nigeria.

I am pleased to announce to the public that the COUNCIL OF ESTABLISHMENT which comprises of all the head of service of the 36 States of the Federation and the head of service of the Federation approved the removal of this long overdue dichotomy which hinder the career progression of HND holders in civil service in her meeting held in Minna Niger state capital during the week after an exhaustive deliberation, pro and anti deposition which ended with tie vote of 16 against 16 while the head of service of the Federation voted in support as presiding officer after the tie, to earn the Polytechnic sector the victory.

Making the vote 17 pro against 16 anti. Henceforth, This resolution automatically lift embargo on HND holder career progression in civil service as the holder can now rise beyond Deputy Director in civil service as well enjoy all sort of benefits/promotion to the topmost rank due to BSc holders in civil service.

It is on record that this same Council was the sole obstacle for this struggle since year 2005 when President Olusegun Obasanjo pronounced the removal of this dichotomy, the Council called the then president statement a mere pronouncement with out documentation and refused it adoption nor implementation.

It will be recalled that the last meeting of the council which was held at Ilorin kwara state capital witness heavy presence of Nigeria Polytechnic students which I personally led as the National Senate President of NAPS to the council in protest for the need for the council to reconsider her position on the said matter.

A position paper was submitted after the protest as demanded by the then head of service of Federation who was the chairman of the Council, unfortunately, the matter was completely discussed nor concluded at Ilorin until now in her next meeting in Niger state.

The Council often meets every 3 years, On behalf of the entire West Africa Polytechnic students and most especially the Nigeria Polytechnic students, I express sincere gratitude to the head of service of states and that of the Federation who stood for us and with us, the Federal Ministry of Education, the National Board for Technical Education NTBE, Council of Head of Polytechnic and Colleges of Technology COHEADS, Academic Staff Union of Polytechnic ASUP, past and present leadership of National Association Of Polytechnic Students NAPS and by extension the Nigerians Union of journalist for their support all through the struggle.

We look forward for immediate implementation by all state of the Federation, Federal government agencies and departments while I call on all Polytechnic student to join us as we Commence appreciation/celebration.

Aluta continua, Victoria Ascerta,
No retreat no surrender,
As long as we live, struggle continues.

*********************************
Pronounciation in bracket

1.Salut Hi/Bye (Sahlu)

This is a great greeting to use with anyone you see rather often or someOne you know rather well. As is the case with greeting someone, bidding someone farewell

2. Coucou! – Hey there! (kuku)

This is an extremely informal way of greeting someone, so reserve this one for close friends and family,

3. Quoi de neuf? – What’s up ? (kwi do nuuf)

This literally means ‘what’s new?’ and is an excellent greeting to use with a friend you haven’t spoken with in a while, with the intent of starting a conversation.

4. Allô? – Hello? (ahlo)
While a cognate of English, this is not used in the same capacity as bonjour, in that you cannot use it to greet people on the street.

5. Au revoir! – Goodbye! (ohrvwar.’)
This expression, like bonjour, is another go-to standard salutation, usable in virtually any situation: as you leave the hair salon, as you leave the bus, as you take leave from an acquaintance.

6. Je suis désolé(e) –I am sorry (joh swi day so lay)

Use to apologies for any wrong or inconveniencies

7. À plus tard! (À plus!) – See you later! (ah plu tar)

This is a useful expression for when you know you will see someone again, such as a friend or classmate, but you’re not quite sure when that will be.
A demain--See you tomorrow (ah do mah)

8. Pardon ! --- Excuse me! (pushing through a crowd) / Sorry! (stepped on someone's foott)

Eleven Amazing Reasons Why You Should Learn a
Foreign Language
• Improve your employability
• Develop confidence
• Meet new people and develop life-long friendships
• Discover a new culture
• To appreciate international literature, music, art and
film
• Increase your brain power
• Study or live overseas
• Become more open-minded
• To make travel more feasible and enjoyable
• Impress people around you
• Discover a new culture
FAQ.
As a person with English as my first language, what
would be the most useful foreign language that I
could learn?
These two lists make it clear which languages you
should consider.
1. The list of 10 most spoken languages by number of
countries
French
Arabic
Spanish
Portuguese
German
Italian
Mandarin
Malay
Kiswahili
Russian
2. The six official languages of the United Nations
Arabic
Chinese
English
French
Russian
Spanish
Why these three lists?
Of course, when you learn a new language, your point
is to reach to the biggest amount of people that
language can offer for you. You probably want the
language to be the most useful language when you
travel. And languages used by mega international
worldwide organizations are good ones to take into
consideration.
French
With Nigeria surrounded by Francophone countries,
learning French can majorly boost anyone’s
professional worth. Spoken by more than 290 million
people worldwide, French has truly become a global
language. It is the official language of 29 countries
including France, Canada, Switzerland, Monaco,
Luxembourg, Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire, Haiti, Belgium,
Rwanda, Togo, Mali and more.
France dominates in pharmaceuticals,
telecommunications, aeronautics, energy production,
and more. In addition, with global initiatives to
promote development in impoverished areas of Africa,
French is key. Many countries throughout North
Africa, West Africa, Central Africa and East Africa have
French as one of the official languages. Being able to
communicate in French can land you consultant,
non-profit, administration, and tons of other jobs.
French is also the official language of NATO, the
United Nations, the Olympics, the Red Cross, and
other international organizations. For Americans,
since Spanish is often the first foreign language
learned, speaking French gives you an edge over
other jobseekers.

Jobs/VacanciesRe: 5 Basic Skills You Need Before Applying For A Job by sheyiOlu(m): 3:47pm On Aug 17, 2015
Many people are so preoccupied with getting jobs that they forget to develop themselves.
It is when the job opportunity comes that they find out that they are missing a few requisite ingredients of the ideal employee – so they miss out.

Even where the job is gotten, some cannot keep up with the demands and get kicked out too soon.
Well, you simply have to get these five skills…

1. Excellent communication skills
Most jobs need good communicators, people who can express themselves clearly and positively, both verbally and in writing. It’s one of the key ingredients of success, so it pays to understand what’s involved. Are you constructive or destructive with words?

2. Tenacity and Resilience
It is probably the least underestimated and often abandoned when frustration or boredom sets in. Weak moments are normal, but never let it hold you down, find a way to spring back even better.
Get and keep your job

3. Creative and analytic thinking skills
Creative thinking skills are as much about attitude and self-confidence as about talent. Do you think within or outside the box? What is that amazing thing you have contributed in moving the company closer to its goals? Ask questions such as 'what if….?' or ‘supposing…’

4. Time management skills
Have you ever wondered how it is that some people seem to have enough time to do everything that they want to, whereas others are always rushing from task to task, and never seem to finish anything?
It requires the investment of a little time upfront to prioritize and organize yourself, understanding the difference between urgent and important. But once done, you will find that with minor tweaks, everything on your to do list will be ticked.
Get and keep your job

5. Leadership skills
Leaders set direction, build an inspiring vision, and taking initiative. Leadership is about mapping out where you need to go to "win" as a team or an organization; and it is dynamic, exciting, and inspiring.
all these knowledge are more without Grace is nothing.
