President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reportedly summoned the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Chief Uche Geoffrey Nnaji, amid rising allegations that he falsified his university credentials.
The revelation was made by Jackson Ude, a former media aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, who shared the information via his verified X (formerly Twitter) account.
According to Ude, President Tinubu invited the minister to the Presidential Villa to clarify the controversy surrounding his academic records.
He wrote, “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has summoned Chief Uche Geoffrey Nnaji, Honourable Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, over allegations that he forged his university certificates.”
The controversy deepened after an investigative report by Premium Times alleged that Chief Nnaji never graduated from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN)—contradicting details presented in his official credentials.
