Minister Geoffrey Nnaji Resigns Over Certificate Forgery Scandal
Nigeria's Minister of Innovation, Science, and Technology, Geoffrey Uche Nnaji, has resigned amidst a certificate forgery controversy. Nnaji's resignation follows allegations of submitting forged academic credentials, including from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
The civil society organization, Global Gender Safety Moral Development (GGSMD), accused Nnaji of presenting fake documents. Despite Nnaji's denial and a lawsuit filed seeking his innocence, public pressure mounted, leading to his resignation.
The controversy highlights the importance of transparency and integrity in public office. The case is scheduled to continue in court on November 10, 2025.
