The reoccurring hypocritical discrimination against HND certificates in the immigration recruitment exercise is an unjustifiable goof that indicates the unwillingness of the current government to end the dichotomy between HND and BSC certificate. The exclusion of the certificate is gradually becoming a norm that will permanently shelve HND holders from gaining entry in to the immigration service, this we have noticed and shall meets repulsion from the polytechnic students.
Precisely a year ago, the leadership of NAPS was on the demand for the inclusion of HND certificates into the immigration exercise under the then HON minister of interior in the transformation regime, it became a great surprise that the current administration of this change mantra can toll the same discriminatory path to repeat same unjust act. The unaccountable expensive omission of HND certificates in the guise of recruiting junior cadres is frivolous with provision for BSC holder, this we view as a reserve excuse to ease the execution plan.
Having proven the need to review the required recruiting qualification with many documents submitted to necessary quarters with no honour or consideration, it is realized that the immigration recruiting board is arrogating to its self the power of creating unnecessary dichotomy between the HND graduate and BSC graduate in job placement which does not exist in other forces. Is the ministry of interior and the immigration saying there are no placement for HND holders or are they used as an instrument to kill the polytechnic education in Nigeria? One wonders if it is a crime to acquire education through polytechnic institutions and only to come out to be humiliated at the end of all.
The final justifiable justice against unjustifiable injustice is a justifiable injustice, at this stage confrontation is in conformation with the natural law.
We call on the federal government, the ministry of interior and by extension the presidential committee on immigration recruitment exercise to urgently intervene and ensure justice and fairness comes to play in order to avert another national immigration stampede as the armless battalion Nigeria polytechnic student shall not hesitate mobilizing to stamped the recruiting exercise if the recruiting committee fails to capture HND certificates. As freedom is not freely given to the oppressed by the oppressor but has to be demanded.
