Oronsaye - Hnd Not Equivalent To University Degree by franko2: 6:09pm On Jun 23, 2010 |
The Higher National Diploma (HND) is not equivalent to a university degree, the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation Stephen Oronsaye has said. Answering questions yesterday in Abuja, the head of service said: "It is not the same curriculum; that is the truth." He said the Federal Ministry of Education was currently working on a scheme to enable HND graduates to spend an additional year to obtain "something that will be equivalent to B.Sc or B.Ed." "Let me also say this to you, that there is a body, the National Council on Establishments where this thing was tabled. "And unanimously, all of them said it cannot be equal; and that is the highest body to take this decision," he added. However, the head of service, who said he knew of a white paper mandating the equation of both qualifications, advised HND holders to "better themselves". "I know that the Ministry of Education is already doing something through the NUC. "The holders of the HND or OND should actually avail themselves of that opportunity to better themselves so that they can aspire to get to grade level 17. "I am not one of those who will shy away from saying it the way it is," Oronsaye said. He said it was not true that the civil service system had created bottlenecks for those who wished to improve themselves. --------------- After reading this moronic statement, by no other than the so-called top dog, in the Nigerian public service, any wonder we are where we are today in Nigeria? The older generation in Nigeria and Africa, used to be the powerhouse, the driving force, and demanded / commanded respect from the younger ones. Unfortunately, that time has now long gone. We now have the Oronsanyes and IBBs demanding and looking to hold us to ransome, based on seniority. And then, we have to take this kak from them? These people have destroyed us in Naija! Na wa ooooo Please guys, what do you think of this silly statement and belief? Coming from a man, who was saddled with the responsibility by President Yar'Adua (bless him), with changing this (very) backward philosophy of our public sector to impede the progression of workers from reaching (or aspiring to reach) the top hierarchy of the civil service, those ones who have graduated from polytechnic and colleges of technology, on account of being academically inferior, inferior to university graduates, which university? for where? universities in Nigeria? Na wa ya! Over to you guys, |

Nigeria will remain underdevelop forever and ever.sometimes you just wonder if some Nigerians are agents of the west.You dont produce anything but consume everything and want the lastest phone,the lastest car.You need skilled and technically skilled people more in an undeveloped country like Nigeria.If not for Obj,Nigeria will still byh now be buying bottled water from abroad and toothpick. |
