The Association of Private Polytechnics in Nigeria has urged President Bola Tinubu to propose a bill that will permanently abolish the dichotomy between Higher National Diploma (HND) and bachelor’s degrees in the country.
Dr. Benjamin Achiatar, President of the association, made this call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja.
The longstanding disparity, which often results in preferential treatment for bachelor’s degree holders in government employment, was officially removed by the National Council on Establishment.
