Kebbi state has proximate fed. University within the state located at Kalgo. Why will it be under sokoto? That of Bayelsa is understandable however, the fed. Govt should make sure they also have a fed. University there because they worth it. |

The thing is most Conventional Universities award B.Sc in Engineering to their Engineering graduates and BSc, BA etc while Universities of Technology awards B.Eng and B.Tech to Technology/Applied Science Courses. |

B.Tech is awarded to graduates mostly from Universities of Technology & Agriculture like FUTA, FUTMINNA, FUTO, FUNAAB..etc except Engineering students (B.Eng) And it is always a 5year degree programme unlike the 4year B.Sc programme Jackossky: |

I could perceived ignorance at it peak here.... What is the difference among Bcs, BENG, and BTECH? all is bachelor degree, you people should read history of the world "degree" from different Countries point of view before making jest of ourselves here... What of Ireland that award Bachelor of Art in Engineering, what would you people call it... Degree is degree throughout the world irrespective of your course of Study. 1 Like |

Nigeria yet to understand education structure, despite the number of academia in the country.... Ghana first initiate this development, Nigeria just follow without looking at the flaws and better it for their own advantage. if you want to plagiarized idea, do it brilliantly. what is the essence of ND again? it is almost useless. it has a less international recognition. Better still, cant we scrap polytechnic completely and initiate a professional technology based institution that will be supervised by the already established industry . This is how country such as Germany become a technological hub. |

Galadimat: Alas, one of the most cheering news from this Government. At least allowing this to see the light of the day starting almost 8 years ago. Now, the second part is mandating the NUC to standardize our universities curriculum and course content/programme to be at par with the Sydney Accord, Washington Accord and any of the acceptable accords. The Education Minister should be given the following milestone to achieve. 1. Get all our university programs certified and ractify by any1 of these accords. 2. Show beyond reasonable doubt, via comprehensive English Language Course structure using the internationally recognized method of measure of proficiency in Reading/Writing/Speaking and Listening for English Language. Get Nigerian spoken English variously documented, and measured with other English Speaking Nations to achieving an acceptance worldwide for its standard based on the measures listed above. This will serve dual purpose of legalizing what is known all over the world already and also stop the current waste of funds used for IELTS/TOEFL Exams that serves no useful purpose for us. If I lie, ask the late Chuka Okadigbo, Eziefe, Wole Soyinka, Chimamanda and numerous others too many mention. To make us take these belittling exams is an affront given our contribution to the robustness of English Language itself. 3. Make our universities programmes relevant to national development. How? Make sure Technology/Engineering Theories are taught in the first 2 years of university. Mandate all multinationals and local manufacturing/production Companies as part of National Service under a declared Emergency on Education to undertake CAMS study for the next 2 years with corresponding CAMS agent in all these companies making reports to the school about their students. And in exchange grant 1 to 5 percent tax reliefs for their help with regards to this national assignment. Secondly, all Professor/Doctors will be only allowed to retain their degree/certification if they contribute to the world body of Knowledge in their respective fields at least once every 2 years via R&. If no meaning advancement of the body of knowledge in their respective fields is forthcoming after 2 years, such certification be suspended until such a time, he can meaningfully add/contributes to the advancement of knowledge or invent/innovates something that solves a national problem or world’s problem and if after 5 years he still is not inspired, demote him or kick him out of the academia. Thirdly, for other courses a similar 1 year understudy after the third year of school should be initiated with non-engineering/technology based companies catering for these sectors. Doctors and medical education are doing okay in this segment but more importantly the performance based or innovation based retainership of their certificates should be stringent more than before as much they require brilliant minds in this field. This way we will set ourselves up for educational greatness, Intellectual vibrancy and development. 2 Likes 1 Share |

vaxx: What is the flaw in this? The essence of polytechnics is to produce intermediate professionals. Which all companies need. For example, polytechnics will produce draughtsmen after 2 years. Don't architects need them? Same for electricians. Graduates from polytechnics after 2 year can work with the certificates they obtain. |

Back then its was HND equivalent to Bsc but today HND is srcapped with immediate effect, then it was from Ministry of education but today it's from Federal excecutive councils, the highest decision making body in Nigeria. Always get facts right before you right. Please don't insult our country again. Thanks. LONG LIVE NIGERIAN PRESIDENT, LONG LIVE THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA. |

Galadimat: In the normal norms, polytechnic is based on technology alone and they have practical knowledge more than University of Technology. but now in Nigeria, we have microbiology in polytechnics(hw is that related) we also think polytechnics is inferior to University bcoz of the JAMB cutoff |

Re: Nigeria Scraps Award Of HND Certificates By Polytechnics by mfm04622: 8:06am On Jun 07, 2018 |
Maymac: They are different. They are meant to produce different types of labour. Universities are meant to produce managers while Polytechnics are meant to produce professionals that will do the work. That is one of the reasons cut off is different for both since you want your best to be managers |
Re: Nigeria Scraps Award Of HND Certificates By Polytechnics by obstead200(m): 8:29am On Jun 07, 2018 |
niceprof:exactly my point. A lot of these polytechnic have far better infrastructures compared to some federal universities. A better policy would be to upgrade them to universities, probably under the temporary supervision of established proximate universities, pending when they get the full retinue of professors required to run their programs. Simply rebaptise them as "universities of management and technology" Abi The lecturers in the non-technology based courses, where are they offloading them to? The Labour market? Maybe they feel this stupid action will enhance technological development. Nonsense. What happened to the thousand and one technological agencies and commissions being funded by the government ( I can count at least 30 of them off hand). They have not been able to manage them properly to achieve desired results. Now they are seeking another twisted policy to cause more problems. Foolish government with ill-thought out, selfish and politically motivated policies |
Re: Nigeria Scraps Award Of HND Certificates By Polytechnics by obstead200(m): 9:02am On Jun 07, 2018 |
mfm04622:he is right. There are polytechnic that have from better facilities compared to federal universities. Go to poly Nekede, then when u come out, visit the following federal universities; university of uyo, Niger delta university, All nine new federal universities, university of Abuja, Modibo adama university etc. These are the ones I am sure do not compare with the facilities in a school like Nekede. Now just think about kadpoly, yaba tech, Auchi poly, Bida poly, Oko poly.......These are all mega schools that have facilities to compare with universities. They shud be converted too. Not just kaduna and yaba. Having professors is not a big deal. Visiting professors from proximate universities can always be engaged. Or the programs can temporarily be placed under the supervision of professors from proximate universities |
