UNN WASHES ITS HANDS OFF MINISTER NNAJI’S ALLEGED DEGREE

A new controversy is shaking Nigeria’s political landscape as the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) has disowned the degree certificate presented by Uche Geoffrey Nnaji, the country’s Minister of Science, Technology, and Innovation in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s cabinet.

In an exclusive investigation by Premium Times, the university confirmed that although Nnaji was admitted in 1981 to study Biological Sciences, there is no record that he graduated or received any degree from UNN.

“Mr. Uche Geoffrey Nnaji’s name appears in our admission records, but there is no documentation showing he completed his program or was awarded a certificate,” a UNN official stated.

The revelation casts a dark shadow on the minister’s academic claims and has sparked public outrage over the integrity of Nigeria’s political appointments. Critics are now questioning how a candidate with an unverified degree was cleared for such a sensitive position.

Neither Nnaji nor the Ministry of Science and Technology has issued any public response, leaving Nigerians demanding transparency and accountability.

This latest episode reignites the age-old debate over academic fraud and credential integrity among public officials — a recurring theme in Nigeria’s political history.

Once again, the question lingers: How does a man without a verified degree end up shaping the future of science and innovation in Nigeria?
