Abuja, Nigeria – Na wetin we dey hear so? Federal High Court for Abuja don dismiss Uche Nnaji, our Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, application wey wan stop University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) from releasing him academic records. As e be, Justice Hausa Yilwa na him dey in charge of the matter, and him drop the gavel for September 22.
Nnaji no just dey play o! Him file ex parte motion wey dem mark FHC/ABJ/CS/1909/2025, asking court to stop UNN from releasing him academic transcript wey no suppose see light for public eye. But make I clear ya, Justice Yilwa talk say, even though Nnaji show sufficient interest for the matter, the injunction wey e dey ask for no go work. Chai!
“I find that the applicant has sufficient interest in the matter, and the application is partly meritorious. Accordingly, prayers 1, 2 and 3 are granted, while prayer 4, which sought an injunction, is declined,” Yilwa talk as he conclude matter wey dey hot. Na so court dey run for this side, e no dey slack!
But the gist no end there. UNN Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Simon Ortuanya, don carry gist come out say Nnaji never complete him studies, so therefore, them no fit issue any certificate for him. Wetin carry Nnaji go court? According to the Vice-Chancellor, “From our records, we cannot confirm that Mr Geoffrey Uchechukwu Nnaji, the current Minister of Science and Technology, graduated from the University of Nigeria in July 1985.” E be like say Nnaji look benin road, because him claim say him finish with Second Class (Lower Division) in Microbiology/Biochemistry. This matter na serious wahala, no be joke!
Nnaji no gree lose guard. Him talk say him dey hussle for him certificate ‘because the university authorities no dey cooperate.’ But hold on! Why Nnaji go submit forged graduation letter to Senate during him ministerial screening? Dis na serious gbege! Abeg, how this one go fit enter history books for Nigeria with all the wahala wey dey ground?
As we dey follow this matter, e dey clear say Nnaji involve plenty big names, including Minister of Education, National Universities Commission, UNN, and every other big player wey dey for the academic game. Dem get him back!
Peter Obi, Na the Labour Party presidential candidate, don drop im mouth for dis matter. E dey vex say Nigerians dey accept forgery and dishonesty like say na normal. Obi talk say, “Whenever I talk about Nigeria being a crime scene, those who are part of the criminality and their hirelings will quickly start their noise-making, attacking and blackmailing me.” Talking no be small. E don enter weybore!
Obi no stop there o! He go on dey call for major reforms wey go fit bring integrity back to the political system before the elections wey dey come in 2027. He propose say every candidate must submit them academic certificates six months before elections. E mean say, no more wahala!
Chai! Wetin you go call dis matter? Integrity dey for ground, and everybody dey watch! As Nnaji dey push for im rights, na so the nation dey question the integrity of credentials wey politicians dey present. Make dem shine their eyes well, well!
