Reports from Daily Trust indicates that detectives are on the trail of a yet to be identified middle-aged man for allegedly depositing a 10-year-old boy whom he abducted in exchange for three bags of rice worth N48,000.
The suspect allegedly abducted the boy while he was on an errand for his mother at Prince bus stop, Isheri Osun area of Lagos.
It was gathered that the suspect tricked the boy, identified as Divine Ebie, from Isheri Osun to a shop at Ijegun where he exchanged him with the rice.
The suspect allegedly accosted the victim and introduced himself as a relative and then lured him to the shop where he collected the rice after convincing the sales girl that he was going to get the money while his brother remained with her.
The sales girl said, “When the man came to the shop with the boy, he asked how much was a bag of rice? I told him it was N16,000 . He left with the boy, saying he was going to tell the woman that sent them. Moments later, he came back and said that he needed three bags. He said that his brother would remain with me while he went to get the money. After waiting close to one hour without seeing him, I told the boy to take me to his mum’s shop at Fire junction. But he said that his mother did not own a shop there and that the stranger only met him on the road and brought him to the shop. It was at that point that I knew I had been robbed.”

BSc/HND Dichotomy Has Been Removed - Minister Of Education

Its really what many has been waiting for, the Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu yesterday confirmed the abolition of the dichotomy that hitherto existed between the Higher National Diploma (HND) and University degree otherwise known as B.Sc.
The Minister who announced the official position of the government in Abuja yesterday said the stories that has been on social media has element of mischief.
“The dichotomy between Bsc and HND has been eliminated,” he said.
Daily Sun gathered that the National Council on Establishments (NCE) has also given approval for the abolition of the dichotomy.
The Minister, last month announced that the government had concluded plans to abolish the dichotomy that hitherto existed between these two educational qualifications, but a reliable source in the Ministry said the policy announcement was put on hold pending the decision of the National Council on Establishments and the Federal Executive Council (FEC).
“This is serious education policy that has effect on millions of Nigerian students. So, the Minister is very careful not to make mistake that would further compound the issue. To this end, he (the Minister) decided to wait for the input of all stakeholders,” the source said.
However, some scholars have expressed mixed reaction to the plan of the government to abolish the dichotomy.
A lecturer from the University of Abuja who pleaded said instead of abolition, a short post-graduate program should be developed for polytechnic graduates to brush them up and bring them up to the level of the University graduates.
“Why would you want to abolish the dichotomy and put both qualifications side by side when the entry requirements for university is higher than that of polytechnics. For instance, there are specific number of Professors and PhD holders required in a particular faculty in a university, unlike in the polytechnics, where, in some cases, you discover that it is university graduates that are teaching the students,” he said.
The president of the Academic Staff of Nigerian Universities (ASUU), Professor Biodun Ogunyemi also opposed the abolish the dichotomy.
“The tenacity of these two qualifications is tested at the work place. People have been saying that there is no disparity between HND and Degree certificate but I don’t see how both graduates can match each other especially at the level of work place.
Dr. Femi Olufumilade, Head of Political Science Department, Igbinedion University, Okada said the decision ought to have taken place long ago.
“Nevertheless, it is a good development in our education system because the disparity has created a huge psychological gap between the graduates of Polythecnics and University,” he said.
Prof. Ifeoma Nwoye of the Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (IBB) University, Lapai, Niger State also endorsed government. She argued that polythecnic education system failed woefully in achieving its objective of raising skilled technical manpower.
“Even the Britain where we copied the polythecnic education system from has abolished and now run a single university system. So, there is nothing bad about the decision,” she said.
She, however, called for a total overhaul of the tertiary education curriculum.
A lecturer in the Department of Sociology, Dr. Peter Ogah said, “It has little or no negative implication. We welcome it even though I graduated from University. Let us support it” he said.
She accused of the double standard for giving due recognition to HND holders, saying that the discrimination is obvious in government employment, where HND holders are placed below degree Degree holders.
A Professor of Education in Ebonyi State University, Sunday Agwu asked the government, in implementing such decision to consider admission requirements, qualifications for lectuerers as well as curricular.
