The University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), has denied issuing the Bachelor of Science degree certificate presented by the Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, Uche Nnaji, insisting that he did not complete his studies at the institution and was never awarded a degree.
In response to a Freedom of Information request by PREMIUM TIMES, the Vice-Chancellor of UNN, Professor Simon U. Ortuanya, confirmed that although Mr. Nnaji was admitted in 1981, he failed to complete his programme and was never issued a certificate.
“From every available records and information from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, we are unable to confirm that Mr. Geoffrey Uchechukwu Nnaji, the current Minister of Science and Technology, graduated from the University of Nigeria in July 1985, as there are no records of his completion of study in the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.”
