This can be accessed at https:\/\/topup.nbte.gov.ng,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Abubakar added that another challenge facing many polytechnic HND graduates was mobilisation for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).<\/p>\n<p>According to her, many are admitted into non-accredited programmes and after the HND, they are not mobilised for the NYSC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dNBTE has now created a HND admission portal for use by all polytechnics. Only accredited programmes shall be visible on the portal and NYSC shall have viewing rights to know admitted candidates to be mobilised.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dThis will hopefully bring an end to illegal HND admissions of unaccredited programmes and at the same time ensure carrying capacities are adhered to for quality assurance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dFinally, the board wishes to appeal to Mr President to please sign the bill removing the HND-BSc Dichotomy in the public service as passed by the last National Assembly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dThis is to end the unjust and undeserved discrimination against graduates of the polytechnic system,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She further said that the absence of the legal backing necessitated the board to find ways of enhancing the standing of HND holders.<\/p>\n<p>Abubakar said that this must be done because the HND holders in reality hold the key to Nigeria\u2019s industrialisation and key skills for delivery of needed infrastructure in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Says disadvantage of the PGD is that holders who continue to do Ph.D. and wish to migrate to a Nigerian University will always be queried
