The National President, Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin, Worldwide Alumni Association, Abu Salami, has expressed worry over the endless debate on whether or not to abolish the Degree/ HND dichotomy in the employment and renumeration opportunities in the country.

Salami, who spoke in Ilorin during the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the institution, said it is needless since the University and polytechnic system have their separate reasons for being created.

The Alumni President stressed that the Nigerian Society of Engineers have officially made it clear to government that HND must be equal to BSc.

Salami also called on well-meaning Nigerians, individuals and corporate bodies to support the Government in the task of moving education forward in the country.
