President Muhammadu Buhari is yet to sign the Higher National Diploma (HND) and Bachelor’s Degree (BSc) dichotomy bill.
The Senate passed it in June after a report of the Joint Committee on Establishment and Public Service, Tertiary Institutions and TETFund.
The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Polytechnics (SSANIP) has urged Buhari to give his assent to the legislation.
In a communique after a meeting, the President, Adebanjo Ogunsipe, commended the National Assembly for their action.
Ogunsipe noted that Buhari’s assent would ensure the growth of polytechnic education in Nigeria.
However, SSANIP expressed disappointment about the non-payment of salaries of some state polytechnics workers.
