Premium Times to Sue Nnaji’s Spokesman Over ₦100M Bribery Allegation

Premium Times plans to sue Minister of Science and Technology, Uche Nnaji's spokesman, Ngwu, over a ₦100 million bribery allegation.

Despite being pressed for evidence on a TV program, Ngwu failed to provide proof. Premium Times dismissed the allegation as baseless and damaging.

The newspaper's lawyer is reviewing Ngwu's comments. The situation highlights the importance of transparency and accountability in public office.
