 Nigeria scraps university diploma courses

Abuja 19 Oct (ANA) - Nigeria’s National Universities Commission (NUC) has abolished all diploma - sub-degree level - programmes at the country’s universities.  The NUC says it wants universities to concentrate on providing quality education for those who will run the country’s public service. Its head Abubakar Adamu Rasheed told university vice-chancellors that it was the job of polytechnics to run diploma courses. Critics say that over the years, Nigerian universities introduced the diplomas more for profit than education. Past efforts to scrap the diplomas have failed, reports say.(ANA)
