BREAKING: Nigeria’s Innovation, Science and Technology Minister Uche Nnaji Resigns Amid Certificate Forgery Scandal

The Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Uche Nnaji Geoffrey, has reportedly resignedfrom his position following allegations of certificate forgery that have recently surfaced. Sources within the ministry confirmed that Nnaji tendered his resignation letter late Tuesday evening after days of mounting pressure and public scrutiny. The allegations, which question the authenticity of his academic qualifications, have sparked widespread reactions across political and academic circles.

In his resignation letter, Nnaji is said to have maintained his innocence, describing the accusations as politically motivated attempts to tarnish his reputation. However, government insiders suggest that the Presidency accepted his resignation to allow for an independent investigation and to maintain public trust in the administration’s commitment to integrity and transparency. The development marks another major shake-up within the federal cabinet, as calls grow for thorough verification of credentials among top government officials.
