Minister Admits UNN Never Issued Degree Certificate Amid Legal Battle

Minister of Science Uche Geoffrey Nnaji has admitted that the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), never issued him a degree certificate. Nnaji's confession came amidst a legal battle with UNN officials over the issuance of his certificate.

The minister had previously claimed to have graduated from UNN in 1985, but investigations revealed discrepancies in his academic records. This revelation adds to the ongoing scrutiny surrounding Nnaji's educational qualifications since his nomination in 2023.

The case highlights the importance of transparency and authenticity in public officials' credentials, raising questions about the verification processes in educational institutions.
