The FG has scrapped Award of HND Certificates by Polytechnics.
The decision was reached at the Federal Executive Council, FEC, on
Wednesday 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%, 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.
