The absence of the National Board of Technical Education (NBTE) and Incorporated Trustees of the Nigerian Institute of Architects has stalled the case instituted by Higher National Diploma (HND) graduates of Architectural Technology in Nigeria.
They filed the case against the President, Architects Registration Council of Nigeria (ARCON), ARCON, Incorporated Trustees of the Nigerian Institute of Architects, National Board of Technical Education (NBTE), the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) and The Polytechnic, Ibadan.
Sometime in September 2020, the aggrieved HND graduates of Architecture in Nigeria filed a case against ARCON and others for the manner the Council and the Nigerian Institute of Architects treat polytechnic graduates of Architecture in Nigeria.
