According to a news report by The Nations newspaper headline: 

"NBTE unveils top-up degree programmes for HND holders"

 


NBTE plans to achieve the following:

NBTE “has launched two portals – one for Higher National Diploma (HND) Holders who wish to acquire Bachelor’s Degree through online Top-Up for one year with foreign accredited universities.”

Secondly, “NBTE has now created an HND admission portal for use by all Polytechnics. Only accredited Programs shall be visible on the portal and NYSC shall have viewing rights to know admitted candidates to be mobilized.

The board hopes to give access to National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) to know those who are admitted to Polytechnics across Nigeria for onward mobilization for National Service. Now if this becomes successful   National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) will know admitted candidates to be mobilised for national service.

The TONE of this move by NBTE is that it is fed up with NUC frustration NOT to allow HND holders enjoy desirable career, educational and job opportunities as their counterparts degree holders from universities.
