‘Government to end disparity between university degrees, polytechnic diplomas’
The administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is doing everything possible to end the disparity between Higher National Diploma (HND) and University Degree holders in the country.
Speaking as the visitor to the 32nd combined convocation and diamond jubilee celebrations of Kaduna Polytechnic, the Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, yesterday, said: “The present administration is much aware of the dichotomy between Higher National Diploma (HND) and the Bachelor of Science Degree (B.Sc.) holders and has taken all necessary steps towards bringing an end to the issue.”
He, however, appealed to the Staff Union of Polytechnics to be patient with the government as efforts are being made to address all their demands within available resources.
Represented by the Executive Secretary, National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) Dr. Masa’udu Adamu Kazaure, the Minister charged the management of Kaduna Polytechnic to build on their achievements and to ensure that the institution maintains her pride of place in the hallmark of fame.
While also felicitating with the graduands, he challenged the alumni of the Polytechnic to contribute to the speedy attainment of the technological development of the country by initiating meaningful projects on campus as a way of fast tracking the growth and development of their alma-mater.
