flag Nigeria’s science minister faces scrutiny over forged degrees and NYSC certificate, with university officials denying his claims.

flag Uche Nnaji, Nigeria’s Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, is under scrutiny for allegedly forging academic and service credentials. flag The University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) has confirmed he was admitted in 1981 but never graduated, with no record of a 1985 degree or inclusion in the convocation list. flag A forensic review of his NYSC certificate revealed inconsistencies, including a signature from a director who served later and outdated formatting. flag UNN’s Vice-Chancellor stated the certificate was not issued to him, contradicting a 2023 letter from the registrar that was later recanted. flag Despite these findings, Nnaji has not publicly responded, and his office continues to defend the authenticity of his records, accusing critics of politically motivated attacks.
