Abuja — Public outrage has erupted across Nigeria following a shocking two-year investigation that exposed how Uche Nnaji, the Minister of Science and Technology, allegedly forged his academic and NYSC certificates.
“Nnaji needs to confront the story by Premium Times. Silence is not golden.”
“This is why we have policy somersault, inadequacy, deficiency, ineffectiveness and non-performance at the end of the day. Quality service and governance are seriously lacking, giving way to poverty & penury of the masses,” he wrote.
“I can’t be carrying original UNN degree results and be doing multiple jobs to provide for my family, and someone is allegedly carrying a fake one and has free access to free hundreds of billions,” he posted. “He should resign.”
“President Bola Tinubu must not only sack his rogue, criminal minister, he (Nnaji) must be arrested and prosecuted for serial forgery, which is a criminal offence,” Aiyetan wrote on X.
“Uche Nnaji should be arrested, prosecuted, and banned from public office. Enough of this fraud in government,” he wrote.
“A government that came in promising renewed hope cannot tolerate criminal forgery in its cabinet. The credibility of this administration depends on how it handles this case,” the group’s spokesperson, Ms. Rita Mbang, said in Abuja.
“If the Senate had done its job properly, this national shame would have been avoided,” wrote one X user. “It’s time for real scrutiny of public officers.”
“This isn’t just about one man’s forgery,” said an Abuja-based political analyst. “It’s about the moral tone of an entire government.”
