Minister Uche Nnaji Faces Forgery Scandal as University Disowns Degree [PHOTOS]

Nigeria's Minister of Science, Technology, and Innovation, Uche Nnaji, is embroiled in a forgery scandal after the University of Nigeria, Nsukka disowned his Bachelor of Science degree certificate. The university confirmed that Nnaji never completed his studies and was not awarded the degree in July 1985 as claimed.

This revelation follows a whistleblower's tip in October 2023, raising questions about Nnaji's academic qualifications. Critics allege that Nnaji may not have participated in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) despite presenting the certificate.

The controversy surrounding Nnaji's credentials has sparked concerns about the integrity of public officials in Nigeria.
