HND, B.Sc Discrimination Bill Passed By House Of Reps

House of Representatives

The Lower Chambers of the National Assembly, the House of Representatives,  had passed a bill on Tuesday,  which has brought to an end the controversial dichotomy between Polytechnic Higher National Diploma and the Bachelor of Science degree awarded by Nigerian universities.

It could be recalled that Ali Isa and Edward Pwajok from Gombe and Plateau States respectively sponsored a bill this effect, which was adopted after it passed for second reading since April 2017.

It is also noted that the bill in perspective also seeks to end perceived discrimination against polytechnic graduates and remove the problems being faced by HND holders, especially those in the public service.
