Uche Nnaji has stepped down as Minister of Innovation, Science, and Technology due to allegations of certificate forgery. Nnaji has been under fire for allegedly falsifying credentials submitted to President Bola Tinubu and the Senate during his ministerial confirmation.
PREMIUM TIMES’ investigation revealed that Nnaji did not complete his university education and that the bachelor’s degree and National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate he presented to Tinubu, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), the Department of State Services (DSS), and the Senate were forged.
In a statement, Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, stated that President Bola Tinubu has accepted Nnaji’s resignation. Nnaji’s resignation letter thanked the President for allowing him to serve Nigeria, citing blackmail by political opponents.
President Tinubu expressed gratitude for Nnaji’s service and wished him well in future pursuits.
