The management of Abia State College of Health and Management Sciences (ASCOHMAT) has given its lecturers with academic qualification below a master’s degree up to June 2022 to upgrade or be fired.
Prof. Lawrence Chigbu, Rector of ASCOHMAT, said this in Aba, yesterday, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN). “The management of the institution has decided that any lecturer without a minimum of a master’s degree will soon cease to be our lecturer.
“As soon as I came and found that even people who had third class degrees were lecturing here, we stopped them immediately. “Higher National Diploma (HND) cannot teach HND; we stopped that immediately. And we gave them up to June 2022 to upgrade or be dropped.
“Any academic staff of this institution without a master’s degree till June 2022, will be dropped,” he said.
