Minister Nnaji Resigns Amid Certificate Forgery Allegations

Minister of Innovation, Science, and Technology, Geoffrey Nnaji, resigned following allegations of multiple certificate forgery, with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu accepting his resignation. Nnaji faced scrutiny over inconsistencies in his academic credentials, particularly his first-degree certificate from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.

Despite Nnaji's claims of being a graduate, investigations revealed discrepancies in his educational background dating back to 1981. The resignation came amidst accusations of blackmail from political opponents, with Nnaji expressing gratitude to the president while maintaining his innocence.

The incident sheds light on the importance of transparency and integrity in public office appointments.
