So, even though agitation continues to grow for the abolition of the dichotomy in Nigeria, there is, at the moment, no law that has removed the dichotomy between a university degree and the HND.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth the NUC Establishment Law (CAP N81, LFN, 2004) and its Operational Law: Education (National Minimum Standards and Establishment of Institutions) Act, CAP E3 LFN, 2004) vest in the Commission the powers to superintend and regulate university education in Nigeria, lay down minimum academic standards in the nation\u2019s Universities and other degree-awarding Institutions, and accredit their programmes.<\/p>\n<p>The statement further stressed that the National Universities Commission is the only body empowered by law to regulate university education in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>It added, \u201cThus, the Commission is the only constitutionally empowered regulatory agency for university education in Nigeria. Pursuant to the sustained commitment of the NUC to the development of a balanced, well-coordinated and productive University System that guarantees the delivery of quality education relevant to national development, and in the face of global competitiveness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe university degree awarded by the Nigerian University System or any cognate Institution is not the same as the HND awarded by Polytechnics in Nigeria. In the Nigerian higher education space, the processes, contents and methods required for the acquisition of a university degree are substantially different from those needed for HND programmes;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the post-graduate level, the requirements for admission into any Master\u2019s degree programme in Nigerian Universities for candidates with HND are, among others, the acquisition of a Postgraduate Diploma from a recognised University in an area relevant to that for which the Master\u2019s admission is being sought. To this end, it is implicit that beneficiaries of the NBTE\u2019s Top-Up Programme shall be subjected to extant admission requirements by Nigerian Universities, should they desire to further their studies in the NUS.<\/p>\n<p>The statement also warned the unsuspecting general public and all relevant Ministries, Departments and Agencies to note that the NUC \u201cis not a party to and, indeed, disallows the so-called Top-up Scheme, being concocted by the NBTE.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the NUC warned the NBTE to focus on its mandate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn light of the above, the advice of the NUC is that the NBTE should focus on its core mandate and desist from introducing programmes that are outside its jurisdiction and not supported by any law in Nigeria. The Commission does not entertain any intrusion into its lawfully assigned mandate\u201d, the statement concluded.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NBTE has partnered with foreign universities to offer a one-year conversion course for HND graduates, addressing the ongoing gap between university graduates and polytechnics.
