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.
