REGISTRATION COUNCIL OF NIGERIA (ARCON) REACHED AFTER A MEETING HELD AT QUALIBEST GRAND HOTEL,
UTAKO ABUJA ON SATURDAY AUGUST 24, 2019
S/N PRAYERS FROM HND GRADUATES AGREED
1 HND + Finals 1 + Finals II to write
APCE to include those who sat for
the 2017
The agreed termination time frame as at the last discussion was March
2016. This is to be extended to 2017. ARCON had directed the NIA to
stop Finals I and II since.
2 HND + PGD + MSC to write APCE
from unaccredited programmes.
A programme to be worked by AEC after which they can participate in
the APCE. Mr. Dasaolu was directed to give the comprehensive list of
affected candidates.
3 HND + Finals 1 + Finals II + PPE to be
licensed
This is to be addressed. Those who passed the verification exercise
would be registered. Those who did not scale the verification exercise
would not be registered due to the subsisting Court judgment.
4 HND + ARP (that their applications
were rejected) to be addressed
The Secretary to the HND candidates was requested to compile the list
of those affected with evidence to enable refund.
5 Unaccredited HND or M. Sc to be
addressed
This would be addressed in line with (2) above.
6 HND registered architects should
not be deregistered by ARCON
Though this was later deleted. It was agreed that the Council has never
contemplated this.
7 HND + Finals 1 + Finals II with
references should be addressed
A programme to be arranged for affected candidates.
8 HND + Finals 1 that have done
seminars and yet to write Finals II
exam should be addressed
This was not agreed to. However, it may be discussed further.

Total 12 years
It was noted that there would be concurrency in terms of the pupillage
year, should the one year advocated for the NYSC and one year after
the M.Sc be implemented.
This should be discussed with the AEC to work out the modalities to
accommodate the reduction in number of years for the pupillage after
the M.Sc.
10 HND holders for over ten years be
registered by ARCON
Not approved because there is nothing of such for even graduates from
accredited schools.
11 PGD programme should be a
continuous programme
This would terminate by 2020 and this path would be closed. All schools
running this programme should be reminded of the earlier letter to
terminate same by 2020.
12 HND that registered for Finals 1
should be addressed
This was not agreed to. However, it may be discussed further.
13 Updated programme for
unaccredited HND or M.Sc. should
be run simultaneously with the
APCE for effectiveness and timely
registration
Advisory.
14 ARCON should commence
accreditation of architectural
training (ND & HND programmes)
in Nigerian Polytechnics
henceforth
Advisory. However, ARCON was involved in joint accreditation in the
past and had to withdraw as a result of the anomalies noted, which
were incongruous with the prescribed professional accreditation. A
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) regarding this matter had
3
been presented for accent but the NBTE that first initiated this process
has declined accent.
However, ARCON has written a reminder regarding same once more.
