15 Courses You Can No Longer Study In Nigerian Polytechnics
;
The
Federal Government has announced that any programme that is not technical will
be out of the polytechnics.
In a bid to end the discrimination between HND
and BSc degrees in Nigeria, the Federal Government has scrapped the
award of Higher
National Diploma, HND certificates by Polytechnics.

The decision to scrap the degree was
reached on Wednesday, June 6, 2018, at the Federal Executive Council, FEC
meeting.
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.
“About 70
percent of polytechnic graduates are in the non-technical courses. It is going
to be a rigorous implementation programme,” he
said.
With this new policy, Pulse has
gathered some of the non-technical courses that are being offered in Nigerian
polytechnics.

Technically, these 15 courses will
no longer be studied in polytechnics once the new policy takes effects.
1. Business Administration
2. Banking and Finance
3. Secretariat studies
4. Accounting
5. Hospitality Management
6. Public Administration
7. Estate Management
8. Fine Art
9. Home and Rural Economics
10. Insurance
11. Marketing
12. Nutrition And Dietetics
13. Wildlife And Eco-Tourism
14. Fishery
15. Leisure And Tourism Management.
Students currently studying these
courses at ND level will probably not be allowed to study them at HND level as
the Minister also announced that there will be no fresh admission for
HND programmes.
However, in order to kick-start the policy, Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH) will now be known as City University of Technology,
Yaba, while Kaduna Polytechnic (KADPOLY) will be known as City University of Technology,
Kaduna.
