Minister Accused of Certificate Forgery in Tinubu's Government

A top minister in Bola Tinubu's government is embroiled in controversy as he is accused of forging his UNN and NYSC certificates. Uche Nnaji, the Minister of Science, Technology, and Innovation, allegedly presented a fake Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and a questionable NYSC certificate.

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) authorities have denied issuing any certificate to the minister, raising concerns about the authenticity of his qualifications. Nnaji's certificate forgery allegations have been ongoing since his nomination in July 2023, casting doubt on his credentials and integrity.

The accusations could have significant repercussions on his position in the government and raise questions about the vetting process for ministers.
