The University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) has disowned a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree being used by the Minister of Science and Technology, Uche Nnaji.
According to Premium Times, Nnaji was not awarded a degree as he didn’t complete his studies.
The Online Newspaper further reported the Vice-Chancellor Prof. Simon Ortuanya as confirming in a letter that Nnaji was admitted in 1981, but he didn’t graduate.
“From every available record, we are unable to confirm that he graduated in July 1985. The university DID NOT and COULD NOT have issued the purported certificate,” the VC was quoted as saying.
A Premium Times investigation found both Nnaji’s UNN and NYSC certificates were forged. His NYSC document was signed by a director who wasn’t in office in 1986 and listed a 13-month service that began before his supposed graduation.
