Tinubu's Minister and Enugu Governor Clash Over Certificate Forgery Accusations
A controversy over the academic qualifications of Nigeria's Minister of Innovation and Science Technology, Robert Ngwu, has escalated as he accuses Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah of orchestrating a smear campaign. Ngwu's aide dismissed claims of certificate forgery, alleging political motives.
Governor Mbah denied involvement, urging Ngwu to face the issue. The dispute follows an investigation alleging Ngwu submitted forged academic certificates during ministerial screening in 2023.
The University of Nigeria Nsukka disowned the certificate, stating Ngwu never obtained a degree despite admitting to incomplete studies in 1981. The unfolding scandal highlights a clash between political figures over alleged forgery.
