Kudos to USAID and UNICEF they have always come to Nigerian's aid.

Yet Nigeria still record high in times of out of school children.

Who did this to my dear country?

Neglecting the negative impact of the ban is one thing we should also consider.

The government of Niger state should also know that banning okada will lead to an increase unemployment which will in turn increase armed robbery and other crimes in that state

There is actually need to scrap the senate, cos I have not seen their importance in helping matters affecting Nigeria

There is hungry in the land and since the government have refused to help matters, what do we expect.

My prayer is for God not to allow evil see us and our family memebers.

Lagos always leading the role for others to follow.

I like that.

Good moves

I keep seeing toomany ignorant people on Nairaland this days.

Instead of dialogue and brainstorming to see how we can address the issues on ground, some are busy fooling ethnical beef.

It will not be better for those involved in such act.

The Nigerian Senate on Wednesday passed a bill to abolish the discrimination between holders of Higher National Diploma (HND) and Bachelor of science (BSc) from tertiary institutions.

Senate president Ahmad Lawan said the passage of the bill will serve as a motivation to HND holders from polytechnics.

“This particular (HND discrimination) issue has been on the front burner for a long time,” Lawan said during Wednesday’s plenary.

“I recall that in the House (of Representatives) between 2003 and 2007, this was one bill that was so important and it is a way of encouraging our polytechnic graduates.

“This should not take away the kind of training they give but should be a motivation for our polytechnic graduates.”

The bill, sponsored by Ayo Akinyelure (PDP, Ondo Central), proposed to resolve the controversy over wage disparity and gross discrimination against HND holders in the public and private sectors of the economy.

The bill scaled the third reading on Wednesday after the lawmakers received and considered the report of the Senate Committee on Tertiary Institutions submitted by Ahmad Kaita, which contained six clauses.

Kaita said the bill, when passed and assented to, will give polytechnic graduates confidence and impact the country’s economy, positively.

The lawmakers, thereafter, did a clause-by-clause consideration of the bill in the Committee of the Whole, after which it was passed.

The bill is expected to be sent to President Muhammadu Buhari for presidential assent.
