Federal Government has scrapped Award of HND Certificates by Polytechnics.The decision was reached at the Federal Executive Council, FEC, yesterday where the approval of a comprehensive reform of Nigeria’s tertiary education system was made.
In effect, the award of HND will be limited to only the students currently admitted for the programmes.Also, all the programmes currently being run by polytechnics, which are not technology-based, and which are about 70 per cent, will be scrapped.Under the new rule, the polytechnics will now become campuses of the proximate universities with the Vice Chancellors of those universities appointing provosts for the polytechnics, subject to the ratification of the Universities Councils.
The polytechnics will now be limited to award of the National Diploma (ND) while those desirous of further education will be awarded the Bachelor of Technology (B. Tech) by the proximate university.To kick-start the new policy, the nation’s two most prominent polytechnics – Yaba College of Technology and Kaduna Polytechnic – will henceforth be known as City University of Technology, Yaba and City University of Technology, Kaduna.And to give legal teeth to these approvals, the FEC approved the submission of two Executive bills to the National Assembly for enactment.
With education being on the concurrent list, the states may wish to consolidate their tertiary institutions. But if they do not wish to follow the federal example, their programmes will continue to be regulated by the relevant agencies of the Federal Ministry of Education.The first bill will concretise the setting up of the two city universities while the second will approve the preparation and consolidation of all federal polytechnics and colleges of education as campuses of proximate universities.


The Ministry of Justice will do the preparation and submission of the two bills to the National Assembly.
Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, told journalists after the weekly meeting of the council that under the reform measures, his ministry would, however, continue to license private polytechnics and colleges of education for the award of qualification at ND and National Certificate in Education (NCE) levels.
He said,
“There will be no more award of HND.“After we have exhausted the current students under the programme, there will be no more award of HND. This means that there will be no fresh admission for HND programmes. And in addition, any programme that is not technical will be out of the polytechnics.“About 70 per cent of polytechnic graduates are in the non-technical courses. It is going to be a rigorous implementation programme.”A ministerial committee to ensure the smooth implementation of all that is required for the take-off of the reform initiatives is to begin work immediately.
Adamu said, “The HND certificate will remain a legal tender in Nigeria and holders of such certificate will continue to be recognised as the equivalent of first degree holders without discriminatory remunerations and limit to progression in the work place.
“The NCE certificate will be retained as the minimum teaching qualification at the basic level of education. Any higher qualifications by these private or state-owned polytechnics will be only affiliation with a university. So, HND is no longer in existence, but existing HND will be respected and considered legal tender.”

A country with so many graduates but very few educated persons. That is why we are where we are today because very few people have developed their minds. You must know that only when the mind is developed that innovation and invention is guaranteed.

An educated man is not, necessarily, one who has an abundance of general or specialized knowledge. An educated man is one who has so developed the faculties of his mind that he may acquire anything he wants, or its equivalent, without violating the rights of others.

I bring u all season greetings on this festive period, I hope this year was a favourable one to u, if h haven't achieved all yet. Just be calm all hope is not over.
My name is DAVID DAMISA am from Edo state, and I live in Benin. Most of u might have heard the word TRACKER before while some is there first time of hearing about it, no need of wasting your precious time read all my articles without getting my message, cause like they say information is power " if u are not inform u will be deform" excuse is not an option
Tracker is a smallish device which will be install in your car, bus, truck without any knowing expect u the owner, tracker can help u to recover your car less than 45mins , tracker doesn't need maintenance, once fixed forever fix
Now what's the function of this device, it has two major functions
1.... It helps u to demobilized(ON and OFF) the car either park on motion
2..... It helps to know the location of the car is, which is by calling the device number

U can also hear the discussion in your car, when u give someone your car to buy something for u, but is (OPTIONAL)
for more info call 08103717718 u can also whatsapp with same number or add me on my facebook page DAVID King Damisa
And if u want to also learn how to install tracker contact with that number
Like I said earlier I live in Benin

Ouch!
Education is indeed suffering in the hand of these politicians. What i am looking forward to are reforms which will make our graduates employable.
Trust nigerians, once you sample a Bachelor of Technology, they would still insist it is a polytrchnic bachelor. So it is not just a change of certificate titles.
Lets just hope too that these reforms will not bring about another long war of industrial actions between unionists and government.

Please, has it been implemented. Implementation is the most important thing not a mere saying
