Buhari's authorities cancels dichotomy between HND and university degrees

- There had been clamour from education rights groups as well as workers for the removal of the differences between HND and university degrees

- The federal government, headed by President Muhammadu Buhari, finally succumbed to pressure and announced the removal in all of its services

The Nigerian government has reportedly stopped the dichotomy between holders of university degrees and Higher National Diploma (HND).

This regularization that comes after many years of agitation, is now to be implemented in all government services.

Channels Television reports that the decision was reached after a meeting of the Civil Defence, Fire, Immigration and Prisons Board (CDFIPB) and chaired by the minister of interior, retired Lieutenant General Abdulrahman Dambazau.
