Ezeibe made the call in Kaduna at an award presentation and farewell ceremony organised by ASUP, Makarfi Chapter to mark the transition of Shehu Idris College of Health Sciences and Technology, Makarfi into Kaduna State University .
”ASUP is currently advocating for the award of bachelor of technology by the Nigerian polytechnics system. “In Europe, Germany, the UK, America and all parts of the world, polytechnics are not limited to middle-level manpower. According to him, it will be the surest way of barricading the dichotomy between an HND and a Bachelors’s Degree.
“We also engage in a lot of advocacy which resulted in us attracting positivities to the Nigerian polytechnics system. He said they were engaging their challenges in a productive manner without disrupting academic activities on their campuses. Arrigasiyu, also a former Provost of the SICHSTM, said if one could be called and awarded after leaving a place he/she served, showed that that person has done something remarkable worthy of recognition.
“Once you have an opportunity, utilise it for the good, because time will tell if you have used the opportunity effectively or succeeded in wasting the time,” Arrigasiyu said.
