The Nigerian Senate on Wednesday passed a bill to abolish the dichotomy between Higher National Diploma certificate holders and university degree holders in the country. As earlier reported by The PUNCH, the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, opined that the passage of the bill will serve as motivation for polytechnic graduates. His view, however, received little support from Nigerians as most pointed to the rising number of unemployed graduates at both levels. @obalum_Vivian1 on Twitter pointed out that many graduates still depend on their parents to be fed. “It’s good to hear this but with both certificates and even PhD for Nigeria, there is no work.”“Let us be sincere, forget dichotomy, are there jobs for the certificate?” @ovenseri_Thomas asked.
