FG's Decision To Change Polytechnics To Universities Will Not Work Out Well, Says Stakeholders

The Federal Government as of late coordinated that the grant of the Higher National Diploma (HND) by the country's polytechnics be abrogated. 

It similarly expressed that the polytechnics will get to be grounds of the proximate universities with the Vice Chancellors of those universities selecting executives for the polytechnics, subject to the approval of the Universities Councils. 

In the event that this is actualized now, it implies that the honor of HND may be restricted to just the undergraduates at present conceded for the projects. Consequently, polytechnics will be constrained to the recompense of National Diploma (ND) and any undergraduate who wish to further his or her studies in the wake of getting ND grant will need to seek after the grant of Bachelor of Technology (B. Tech) through the proximate universities. 

While some are in support of this advancement as it will resolve the HND-B.Sc separation, a few lecturers and partners are of the sentiment that this move will bring about the mass sack of polytechnic teachers the same number of them might not have the capabilities to fit into the new framework and numerous not have the capacity to enhance their capabilities quickly because of requirements of time, age, fund and even unfavorable structures.
