HND/BSc Dichotomy Will Remain Until Completion of Civil Service Reform – FG

Folasade Yemi-Esan, head of the civil service of the federation has said the dichotomy between bachelor’s degree and higher national diploma (HND) will remain until the ongoing review of the scheme of service is completed.

Yemi-Esan made this known on Wednesday shortly after the weekly federal executive council (FEC) meeting in Abuja.

The HND/BSc dichotomy has generated heated controversy in recent times, with many calling on government to scrap the discrepancy between the two qualifications.

Addressing newsmen after the FEC meeting, Yemi-Esan said:  “On the discrepancies between HND and degree programme. It’s in the Scheme of Service that this will be reflected not in the PSR,”

“It’s the Scheme of Service that describes entry points and things like that. And currently, we’re reviewing the scheme of service, it’s just that we did this first, and then we’ll do the scheme of service. So that’s where that will be reflected.”
