It’s Time We Stopped Punishing Skill: HND Deserves Equal Respect -By Nanna Gift Nimkur

The Federal Government has started the right conversation by removing the dichotomy in some ministries. But policy on paper is not enough. We must do three things now.

Third, let HND holders proceed directly to Masters without the PGD toll gate. Let merit, not route, determine how far you go.
