Nigerian Government to Abolish HND-Bachelor's Degree Dichotomy

The Nigerian government, led by Dr. Tunji Alausa, is set to abolish the distinction between HND and Bachelor's degree holders by empowering polytechnics to award degrees.

This move is aimed at reducing professional discrimination against technical graduates and elevating the status of polytechnics in the country's education system. The government expects this policy shift to enhance the quality of technical and vocational education, aligning it with global standards and fostering industrial growth.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration is emphasizing transparency, quality assurance, and innovation in the education sector.
