THE HISTORY OF HND DISCRIMINATION: A STORY OF HYPOCRISY

Engineering Education Trails Far Behind All Other Branches In Nigeria, And The First Attempt Whatsoever Made At Grappling With The Challenge Of Modern Technology In The Country Came As A Result Of The Welfare Act Passed By The British Government In 1940. It Was On The Basis’ Of This Act That The Nigerian Ten-Year Technical Education Development Plan Was Formulated In 1944. In 1948, The Yaba Higher College (Started About 1930) Was Broken Up And The Departments Were Transferred To Form The Nucleus Of The University College Ibadan.

What Remained Of The Higher College Was Renamed Yaba Technical Institute To Give Practical Expression To The New Technical Education Development Plan. Technical Education Was Then A Novelty In The Country And The Government Had To Bring Together Various Training Centres Being Run By Public Departments To Form The Yaba Technical Institute. Such Centres Included The Lands And Survey Training Centre Which Started In 1908, Marine In 1928, The P.W.D. In 1931, The Post And Telegraphs Also In 1931 And The Railways In 1942.

Why Did Our Colonial Masters Give Engineering Education A Separate And Distinct Development Plan? Why Was A Faculty Of Engineering Not Introduced Along With Other Disciplines At The Inception Of Ibadan University College? Different People Have Different Ways Of Looking At These Question, But With The Benefit Of A Hindsight, Two Reasons Can Now Be Positively Adduced. In The First Place If The University Of Ibadan Had To Turn Out Graduate Engineers In The Early Fifties, There Would Have Been No Industries To Absorb Such Graduates. Secondly And Most Importantly, However, Such Modus Operandi Would Have To Run Counter To Established British Tradition In The Development Of Education.

In Early Days In Britain, Every Student Engineer Starts His Career By First Receiving A Sound Practical Training Under Factory Conditions, And Progresses Along Professional Ladder Depending On Individual Talent, Intellect And Interest. The Situation Was Such That Nobody Graduated To A Professional Engineer Without Indomitable Bent In The Practicals.

Even After The Second World War, Britain Adopted Massive Training Of Engineering Personnel Through Full-Time, Part-Time Evening/Day Release Courses In Technical Colleges To Make-Up For Shortage Of Manpower In Engineering Industries Leading To ONC/OND Qualifications In Engineering With Sound Practical Know-How. The British Track Of Development Was Undoubtedly What Our Colonial Masters Envisaged In Their Ten-Year Technical Education Progranmme For Nigeria. Certainly, In Ten Years, With Little Attention, The Yaba Technical Institute Would Have Been Ripe Enough To Turn Out Its First Batch Of Authentic Nigerian Engineers Trained To The 1st Degree Level While At The Same Time Providing Enough Manpower At The Middle-Level Cadre. This Is In Fact The Practice In Britain And Throughout Europe.

However, In The Nigerian History, Which Is Now Being Reviewed, Partly Because Our Colonial Masters Saw Africa Foremost As Raw Materials Workshop, And Partly Due To Our Own Defective Sense Of Appreciation. Technical Education Was Never Developed In Nigeria.

Yaba Technical Institute Was Allowed To Suffer A Slow And Emaciated Growth. Ten Years Went By, But Nothing Was Again Heard Of The Ten-Year Development Plan. The Attitude Ran Through A Span Of Almost One And Half Decades, And Up To The Dawn Of Our Independence.

Immediately, After Independence A Floodgate Of University Campuses Was Thrown Open, With The University Of Lagos Coming Into Existence By An Act Of Parliament In 1960. Nsukka, Ahmadu Bello University And Ife Followed In Quick Succession. Nigerians Had Known The Pride Of Wearing Academic Robe In Law And Theology But They Seemed To Have Totally Forgotten That In Engineering, The Hood Does Not Make The Monk.

Indeed, All The Universities Came Up With Facilities In Engineering, Thus Bringing An Upsurge Of Entrants Into Engineering Profession At The Graduate Level. Two Things Had Immediately Gone Wrong. In Less Than Ten Years After Independence, The Nation Was Already Filled With Graduate Engineers Who Were In Actual Fact No More Than Science Boys - Because In The Words Of Professor Terry, “Nobody Ever Learnt Engineering From A Book Anymore Than That A Person Ever Acquired The Art Of Swimming Or Bicycling Theoretically In An Armchair”.

Second Wrong Thing Was The Irony Of Building A House From Roof Top. As It Were, Nigeria Had Succeeded In Building An Economy With The Apex Of Technical Manpower Cadre Overcrowded, And The Middle Level None-Existent. Soon, Questions Were Being Raised About The Quality Of Locally Trained Engineers, While The Dearth Of Middle Level Manpower Was Embarrassingly Acute.

Government Started Looking For Solutions. Everybody Knew Quite Well That Solution Lies In Restructuring Our System Of Engineering Education; But From Where Do We Start? Suddenly, It Appeared The Policy Makers Decided That The Solutions Start And End With Restructuring The Old Yaba Technical Institute But Which Had By 1963 Metamorphosed Into Yaba College Of Technology. Many Reasons Were Advanced:-

Firstly, Records Showed That The Yaba Technical Institute At Its Inauguration In 1948 Was Intended To Produce The Middle Level Man-Power Requirements Of The Country. The First Solution To Solving The Problem Of Middle Level Manpower Shortage Therefore Is To Keep ‘Yaba’ Well Within Its Defined Objectives Of Over 30 Years Back.

This View Was Sold To Government, And It Was Generously Accepted. There Seemed To Be No Single Person To Recall That A Ten-Year Technical Education Development Plan Should At The Close Of The Planned Period Be Able To Produce Very High Level Technological Manpower.

Secondly, Having Regards To The Nation’s Poor Technological Performance, The Source Was Almost Certainly Traced Again To The College Of Technology Curriculum. Various Papers Were Presented To Show That Yaba Boys Were Doing Too Much Theory. This Has To Be Cut To Size While Emphasis Must Be On The Practical Skills.

The Arguments Were As Maliciously Unsound As They Were Curiously Illogical, But Yet They Held Sway. In Retrospect, It Would Seem So Strange That In All This, The University Engineering Curriculum Was Left Severely Alone. In The Ostensible Quest For Solution To Acute Shortage Of Middle Level Manpower, Hilarious And Rather Effective Propaganda Was Mounted To Ensure That All Products Of Yaba College Of Technology At Whatever Level Were Tagged Middle-Level Manpower.

Technology Students Stood Against All The Onslaught. Very Bold And Daring Attacks Were Actually Launched To Destroy The New Enviable Status Of The Institution, But It Was Like Trying To Obliterate Mounts Olympus From The Surface Of The Earth - For The 1968 College Of Technology Graduates Are Definitely Not The Same As The 1948 Pioneers; Not Only Have They Now The Right Training, But Theirs Is A Professional Struggle And They Have Fought It To The Surface.

Indeed, Technological Education Had Already Taken A Firm And Solid Shape In Nigeria. The Old Yaba Technical Institute Has Yielded Place To Technical Colleges As The Main Centres For The Production Of Middle-Level Manpower; And It Equally Turns Out A Cream Of Ordinary Diploma Graduates In The Middle Level Cadre. The Higher Diploma Which Is Now The Highest Qualification Being Awarded Had Been Hard Worn And The Battle To Retain And Enhance It Continues Till This Day.

It Has To Be Recalled That The Renaming Of Yaba Technical Institute As Yaba College Of Technology In 1963 Was Itself Not Done Until A Very Hot Students’ Agitation. The Renaming Brought In Its Wake The Enrolment Of Students For The Higher Technician Diploma Of The City And Guilds Of London.

Still In Research Of Progress, Yaba Students Went On Strike Again In 1969 Calling For The Abrogation Of The Higher Technician Diploma And Autonomy For The College. In July 1969, Decree No. 23 Was Promulgated After Students’ Agitation Which Necessitated Shutting Down The Institution For Five Weeks! The Old Technical Institute Has At Last Graduated Into Motherhood.

Section 1 (A) Of Decree 23 Of July 1969 States:-
“To Provide Courses Of Instruction, Training And RESEARCH In Applied Science, Technology, Commerce, Management, And Such Other Field Of Learning As The Council May From Time To Time Determine”.

A Comparison Of Decree 23 Of 1969 Which Re-Established The Yaba College Of Technology With The University Of Lagos Decree 3 Of 1967 Is Quite Revealing:-
1 (3) The Objects Of The University Shall Be:-
1 (3) (B) “To Provide Courses Of Instruction And Other Facilities For The Pursuit Of Learning In All Its Branches, And To Make Those Facilities Available On Proper Terms To Such Persons As Are Equipped To Benefit From Them”.
1 (3) (C) “To Encourage, Promote And Conduct Research In All Fields Of Learning And Human Endeavor”

The Decree 23 Of 1969 Was Nothing But A Fulfillment Of The Philosophy That Gave Birth To Polytechnic Education The World Over And It Was Indicative Of The Level Of Technological Development In Post-Independence Nigeria.

In The Early 70’S, Many Of The Product Of Yaba College Of Technology Graduated With H.N.D. Certificates Were Accepted And Worked In Companies As Engineers. In Those Days Also After The Nigerian Civil War, Developments Was Going On In All Aspects Of The Nation’s Economy, And As Such, The Early Professional Returnees From The U.K. And Other Oversea Countries Established Consultancy Firms In The Country With H.N.D. /H.N.C. Holders From The U.K. And Yaba College Of Technology Employed In Their Firms As Engineers, And Were Performing Creditably Well.

Soon After, Council Of Registered Engineers Of Nigeria (COREN) Was Established, And Was Then Strongly Believed It Was Through The Assistance Of Members Of Nigerian Society Of Engineers. This Belief Was Soon Confirmed When COREN Decree Of 1970 Was Obtained, With Newspaper Publications Coupled With Direct Letters To Government Ministries And Companies, Limiting Only Holders Of B.Sc. Qualifications To Be Employed As Engineers.

That Action Was Seen As Discriminations Against Graduates Of Colleges Of Technology And Polytechnics.

THE UNJUSTIFIABLE EXPLOITATION OF KWARAPOLY STUDENTS

"Revolution is the religion of fighters for freedom, who pursue justice and righteous, the religion of those who crave freedom and the school of resisters of exploiters."

The leadership of National Association of Polytechnics Students (NAPS) frown at the N10,000 late registration penalty introduce by the Kwara state polytechnic management on both fresh and returning students with a week ultimatum when portal and registration activities will finally be closed. The students database had earlier been deactivated by the management at exactly a week after the last bash of the school admission list was released and at a time SIWES students were just returning back to school following a late notification warning sent to concerned students.

From whatever angle we wish to decipher the registration penalty, it is a harsh decision coming at a time the nation is battling economic crisis, unions going on strikes due to non payment of members salaries, traders lamenting the drastic drop of Naira to Dollar and governors resisting the payment of N18,000 minimum wage.Financial constrain obviously, is the sole reason most students couldn't meet up registration deadline and any further increase in fees will be tantamount to exploitation of unjustifiable motives.

NAPS expresses displeasure as the school authorities closes her eyes to the current economic status of the state and the country as a whole, such incremental decision is never expected of a state owned institution where state government owe workers salaries. It is to stress the obvious that students directly or indirectly rely on workers salaries to survive on campus, while self sponsored students stake very high to maintain studentship.

We reach out to all concerned students to keep their calm embrace decorum as we engage the polytechnic management on consultation and consolidation ideology of Aluta, we also advice no student subscribe to the registration penalty while negotiations last. With optimism we assure victory at the end of the struggle for we believe the listening attributes of the school and the doggedness of our comrades.

NAPS appeal to the management to reverse the penalty, make refunds to students who have paid and further give extension till January before registration closes. We are bent on this struggle, our stands is never to be compromised and we won't hesitate confrontation on the exhaust of our first 2Cs of Aluta.

COALESClNG OSUN STATE OWNED TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS: A TECHNOLOGICAL RETROGRESSION

The National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS), which is the mother association of all Polytechnics, Monotechnics, Colleges of Education, Colleges of Technology and other allied Institutions awarding National and higher National Diploma, have studied the recent disposition of the Osun state government to technical education and we see it as diametrically opposed to the progressive technological aspiration and dynamic technological emancipation of this country to a technologically advanced country.

It is highly pathetic and sympathetic that at a time the world is celebrating technicalities and embracing advancement of technological innovations, China with her endowment of technology converting over 600 universities to polytechnics as a reforming process to boost the production of technically trained graduates, a government in Nigeria could be proposing the conversion of polytechnics to tutorial centers by merging up four Institutions on the plans to restructure them.

Osun state government has failed woefully it's responsibilities to the educational sector, starved academic workers their pay, cause students months at home to idle away, kill private secondary education with high taxes, turn deaf ears to stakeholders agitation, propose merger of limited tertiary institutions rather providing progressive prescription to the underfunded educational sector in the state.

The impetuous decision of requesting the removal of the four state owned institutions from jamb directory without  considering candidates who already chose the schools as their preferred choice of institution, students currently counting the school calender for their days on campus, and alumni banking on the alma-mata, revealed the gap between the isolated government and her people.

The downsizing shock that will erupt from the merger contrary to the employment opportunities promised by the APC indicates an ideological derail that requires an urgent attention before hope is lost and a no confidence vote is cast on the party. Regrets rocking our hearts to have invested and supported a failed government whose reward of appreciation is months of industrial actions and scraping of our institutions.

Petitions, appeals, press briefing, etc. have all been at one time or the other forwarded by several student leaders to express our displeasure on the action plan but without any appreciable result. The leadership of National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS) perceive the development as a threat to technology advancement and an effort to sabotage the struggle of abolishing Hnd /Bsc dichotomy.

There may be times we are powerless to prevent injustice but there should never be a time we fail to protest. The day a society stops to protest, that day marks the beginning of the end of progress in that society. The leadership of NAPS enjoin the executive governor of Osun State to reverse his decision on converting our Institutions to tutorial centers or risk meeting with millions of armless battalion students in the spirit of true activism.


Osun State Polytechnic Iree, College of Technology Esa-Oke, College of Education Ila-Orangun and College of Education Ilesha have all been in existence before the inception of Governor Rauf Aregbesola in office and will continue to remain even after the lapses of his tenure, as any attempt to merge or scrap our schools is a war that will meet the readiness of armless soldiers.

NIGERIA AT 55: THE STRUGGLE FOR MERITOCRATISATION OF EDUCATION CONTINUES (POLYTECHNICS MUST AWARD B.TECH)

Our demands remains sacrosanct !

Fifty-five years ago Nigerians fly’s the flag of freedom, the heroic rough and tough journey, the history of welfare, pogroms, massacres, assassinations, misguided ballot and misdirected bullets, the catalogue of catastrophes, the options of the confederations, the women liberationist, the labour unionist, students unionist, the prime ministerialists, the presidentialists, the collective dictatorists, the welfarists, the democratic, the socialist, the zero-party mentocrats, the static’s, the religionists, the provincialisms, the one-party unitarists, the multi-party federationists, the indigenous traditionist, the communalists, the revolutionary socialist, the French systemists, the billionairists, the anarchists even the coalitions of armed robbers,so many postulations for today’s existence.

NIGERIAN STUDENTS STRUGGLE FOR NATIONAL EMANCIPATION

Nigerian students involvement in the Nigerian struggle is dated far before independence, the protest against the visitation of queen Elizabeth ii to Nigeria in 1956, demonstration against the colonial administration demanding for immediate independence for Nigeria when Ghana gained independence in 1957, countless revolutionary jihad for the democratization of education in Nigeria, the role of segun okeowo in eliminating illiteracy and eradicating ignorance.  Consolidating predecessors  struggles by the present generation of Nigerian students, struggle against disorganization, maladministration of the system, poverty, ignorance, conspicuous disease and other “mortuary wreckages” that litter the whole country.

THE NIGERIANS WAR AGAINST CORRUPTION 

To describe Nigerian’s economic and social dilemma as masculine is to stress the obvious, the war against corruption from a leader with masculine orientation (military) is the long expected prescription to the menace but not in a feminine, gradualist and moderate approach the president is giving the Nation’s daily increasing problems. The  lunching of war against corruption by the PMB administration is a welcome phenomenon however it should not be a political whip, witch-hunting or mare scary political statement. We like to assert that corruption is not exclusive preserve of the politicians but rather a cankerworm that has eaten deep into the fabrics of the society.

A CALL FOR THE ABOLISHMENT OF HND/BSC DICHOTHOMY 

For decades vibrant student leaders have been pushing the struggle to equate Higher National Diploma certificate to Bachelors degree. The  campaign of war against the greater corruption in the education sector, the injustice of HND / BSC discrimination from point of admission to the labour market, calls to notice of our derailing system from the legacies of the foreigners we tends to be emulating, comparison of our education  standard with Ghanaians whose polytechnics awards Bachelor in Technology. 

The verbal  pronunciation of equating the two certificate by president Olusegun Obasanjo (fmr), reversal of the statement and latter upgrading four polytechnic to city university by president Musa Yar’adu, also upgrade reversal and setting up of committee to look into the duo certificates latter announcing upgrade of four colleges of education to university of education by president Goodluck Jonathan and also the reversal of the upgrade by the incumbent president is a clear picture of corruption at its peak. The abolishment of HND/ BSC dichotomy remains the panacea to the root cause of corruption in Nigeria.

FINALLY I hold the opinion that the past of Nigeria is black, that the present is bleak and that the future is blank. Because the future is blank however, there seems to be some ray of hope. This is why the struggle for meritocratisation of education (polytechnics must award b.tech) is not futile.

Long live Nigeria 

Struggle continues 

Victory is certain

NAPS APPEAL THE PREVENTION OF ASUP NATION WIDE SRIKE.

The Nigeiria we are trying to build is a Nigeria where hard work and sweat in service will be commended and encouraged, not a nation where workers will be deprived their pay in delay, exposed to poverty, miserable and impecuniousness after hard work.

Appealing rescue from federal government of Nig to save Nigeria Polytechnic Students future became imperative as the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) is set for a nation wide industrial action over the nonpayment of members salaries in six States including Oyo, Osun, Plateau, Benue, Abia and Imo.

We contend it is nothing cut short of insensitivity, callousness and wickedness for any institution or government to be indebted to it's workers much as eight to ten months. The refusal, reluctant and delay in salary payment is an agent of frustration capable of crippling peace and orderliness in a country.

Considering the polytechnic community is yet to recover from a thirteen months nation wide strike which paralysis the 2013/2014 academic session, that boils down to the loss of the students and the highest price payer during and after the strike. Our leadership can not afford staying back at home watch our future altered or joked with.

We solidarise and join the staff union in condemning the callous act of state governments oweing lecturers for as much as eight to ten months, we declare our support to the union getting their pay from concerns state governments by all means other than closing our institutions.

With all patriotism we implore all concerned state governments to as a matter of urgency see to the payment of all salaries/ allowances arrears, any further delay will call for mass solidarity action, students taking to the streets to seek payment of our lecturers and academic resumption of affected institutions.

Also do we call on President Muhammadu Buhari to intervene and end the unnecessary dichotomy between Bachelors Degree and Higher National Diploma, the establishment of National Commission for Polytechnics and the implantation of the needs assessment report.

THE PROSCRIPTION/ DISSOLUTION OF FEDERAL POLYTECHNIC ILARO STUDENTS UNION GOVERNMENT

The newly elected executive of NAPS under the leadership of Comr Adeyeye Olugbenga (Pilot), condemn the recent announcement to proscribe the Union Government of Federal Poly Ilaro, we urged the management of the school to retrace its decision on dissolving, suspending or placing ban on the Students Union Government of its school.

Our leadership is quite aware of the prompt intervention of the outgoing EXCO of NAPS on the issue from onset, we appreciate and commend their swift and rapid interference as we take up the task and struggle. We stand to inherit the state of campuses and will be responsible for it.

The new leadership of NAPS demands the proscribed union is called back to operations, we feel it is nothing short of scapegoatism on the part of the institutions authority to clamp down on our students leaders, as the proscription is in accordance with the demand by protest which lead to the closure of the institutions.

Proscription of students union government have never been, can never and will never be solutions to the problems of students protest, it will only be tantamount to exposing the school to wrath of injustice and corruption, rendering the students helpless without hope of channeling their grievance and denial of a voice for the week and voiceless.

We advice our fellow colleague in the institution to stay calm, embrace peace and entrust the struggle on the leadership of NAPS, we solidly assures victory as the new leadership of the association will not condone proscription, dissolution and banning of students Union Government, scapegoatism of students leaders and intermittent closure of our institutions.

We contend that students and their institutions authorities have more in common to prosecute if only they appreciate and only if both of us can lift our mortal siege. Bridging communication gap and harmonizing our charges to solve our identically homogeneous problems is the solution and not suspending, dissolving and prescribing our union.

NAPS SETS TO HARMONISE OGITECH CRISIS

BEING THE PRESS TEXT DELIVERED BY THE LEADERSHIP OF NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF POLYTECHNIC STUDENTS NAPS. ON THE OCCASION OF PRESS CONFERENCE ADDRESSING THE CRISIS ROCKING OGUN STATE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY IGBESA HELD AT NUJ HOUSE IWEROYIN ABEOKUTA.

Whether our action is wholesome or unwholesome depends on whether that action or deed arises from a disciplined or undisciplined state of mind. It is felt that a disciplined mind leads to happiness and an undisciplined mind leads to suffering, and in fact it is said that bringing about discipline within one's mind is the essence of the saints teaching.

It's pathetic and very unfortunate that politicians have penetrated into the porosity of student politics, unionism and activism that much, that every genuine struggle of the students are seen as a golden opportunity to strike opponents a shot.

Virtually no angle records joy over disagreement of students and institutions authority degenerating into vandalism, malicious mischief, brutality, viciousness and campus closure.

THE HIJACK OF OGUN STATE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY IGBESA STUDENTS STRUGGLE
Its quite unfortunate that rather than finding progressive prescription for the quandary of the unwillingness of the school management to conduct Student Union Election, the students loose guided to unscrupulous elements that birthed unprincipled actions of destroying and vandalising the school property.

The repairable and irreparable damages brought down on the school by protest hijackers remains a capital loss of battle stands and property to the students, we remain the recipient that absorbs more of the consequences of the struggle, as well the highest price payer in the sector.

In spite of our grievances and bitterness constructive agitation should be adopted when issues erupts to abolish the arrogations of our struggles by portraying us as the custodians of exuberance and scapegoat of indiscipline.

THE AUTHORITIES OF OGUN STATE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY IGBESA A REAGENT
We tends to lose the moral ground to fault the school management over the ugly incident, still experience shows that fire burns! A goat does not bite except when pushed to the wall. Let us all accept that the angry students reacted in opposition to the action of the school management.

How we wish we have  maintained and still could promise you a crisis-free session. But this will be tantamount to predicting the unpredictable human nature of man. We argue that students and their institution authorities have more in common to prosecute if only they appreciate and if only both of us can lift our "mortal siege".

NAPS POSITION
The leadership of National Association of Polytechnic Students condemns without any reservation, the unpatriotic act of conjoining hooliganism and gangsterism with unionism.

Student unionism is different from politics, the combination of both is nothing but indiscipline and injustice. We use this medium to sound a strong waning to all politician who see joy in using students as destructive machinations and prefers scoring political point through students struggles. We have identified and gladly they identify themselves, we promise to confront and pay in their coin whenever such comes into play again.

We advice the indigenes of Igbesa to desist partaking in actions capable of destroying the only state institution situated in yewa region of Ogun state, remember soldiers goes soldiers come barracks remain intact.

He who fight and run live to fight another day, we reach out to our fellow students to give up on battle, give way for negotiations and be willing to embrace peace, victory can alway be ascertain on round table provided we are ready to shift ground for each other.

We appeal the school authority realizes we are students and that reason they are our managers, we plead the room for resolution is open so we can come back to exist as a family. It became imperative we seek the release of all arrested students and implore the authority to forgo any plan to expel, suspend or rusticate any student, we can harmonize our charges to solve our existing communication gaps.

The leadership of NAPS has set up a conflict resolution committee saddle with the responsibility of meeting students stakeholders, management of the school and facilitating a resolutions meeting to harmonize both parties.
