These 15 courses May no longer be studied in polytechnics.

In a bid to stop the discrimination between HND and BSc degrees in Nigeria, the Federal Government has call to end the award of Higher National Diploma, HND certificates by Nigeria Polytechnics.

The decision to scrap the degree was as a result from meeting held on Wednesday, June 6, 2018, at the Federal Executive Council, FEC.

The FG did not only stop polytechnics from awarding HND degree, it also stops them from offering courses that are non-technical.

While speaking to Journalists about the new development in polytechnics across the country, the Minister of Education, Prof Adamu Adamu says any programme that is not technical will be out of the polytechnics.

Technically, these 15 courses will no longer be studied in polytechnics once the new policy takes effects
