After four years ,the House of Representatives has finally passed the bill seeking an end to the existing dichotomy between holders of holders of Bachelor of Science Degree BSC and Higher National Diploma HND in both public and private sectors in Nigeria
The passage of the bill was done, barely two weeks after the Federal Ministry of Interior abolished academic qualification dichotomy
The bill being sponsored by Ali Isa and Edward Pwajok from Gombe and Plateau states respectively, had been passed for second reading since April 2017.
The “bill for an act to abolish and prohibit dichotomy and discrimination between first degrees and HND in the same profession” was passed during Tuesday’s plenary of the house
It seeks to end perceived discrimination against polytechnic graduates and remove the challenges faced by HND holders, especially those in the public service.
Holders of any of the two certificates are now at the same entry level in public or private organizations in the country
