The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics has applauded the Senate’s passage of a bill seeking to remove the dichotomy between Higher National Diploma and bachelor’s degree.Mr Remi Ajiboye, ASUP Chairman of Yaba College of Technology in Lagos State, told NAN on Thursday that the dichotomy ought not to be there at all.” I do not understand the basis for the dichotomy in the first place; if the dichotomy is now scrapped, it is a welcome development,” Ajiboye said.
“Itis a good development, I actually facilitate Sen. Ayo Akinyelure; his passion and tenacity really paid off at last; congratulations also to our HND holders.He urged that the quality of education in polytechnics should justify the gesture.He said that the development would make HND graduates happier.According to him, HND graduates passed through a more rigorous process than bachelor’s degree holders.“In fact, our polytechnic graduates will be happy hearing this.
NAN also reports that the bill, sponsored by Sen. Ayo Akinyelure, passed the third reading on the floor of the Senate at plenary, while Ahmad Kaita, Senate Committee Chairman on Tertiary Institutions and TETFUND, presented his report and all the amended six clauses were approved by the Senate.
