UNN Faces Claims Of Manipulating Nnaji’s Academic Files Over Certificate Forgery

The University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) has been charged by Robert Ngwu, the spokesperson for Uche Nnaji, Minister of Innovation, Science, and Technology, of altering and plagiarizing his principal’s academic records.

The accusation reportedly comes as Nnaji is being charged with forging certificates after being appointed as President Bola Tinubu’s minister.

On Monday, Nnaji, who is now involved in a legal battle over the issue, informed Federal High Court Justice Hauwa Yilwa that the school was retaining his grades.

When Nnaji received a second-class honors (lower division) BSc degree in Microbiology/Biochemistry in 1985, he maintained that the university had no right to keep his academic achievements a secret.

Nnaji’s assistant claimed that the UNN was manipulating his principal’s academic records in response to queries during an interview on Channels Television’s “The Morning Brief” on Tuesday.

A trustworthy source, according to Ngwu, has exposed persistent manipulation within the organization.

The aide went on to say that Nnaji had repeatedly asked the court for protection at Monday’s most recent court session.

He stated, “He didn’t request that the school not look at his academic records. According to him, they shouldn’t alter or tamper because we saw information on what was posted online, including items from a private student’s file. That implies someone is doing that on purpose.

Consequently, we learned that there were certain manipulations occurring from a reliable source. The transcript of the minister’s request for court protection ought to be made public.

“One of your acting vice chancellors is a PDP cardholder. Under normal conditions, he shouldn’t be a venture capitalist. This is in contrast to a venture capitalist who has been a politician for decades. As you are aware, legal politics are tense, which is why the minister was nervous.

Since they don’t like competition during elections, the PDP in Enugu has managed to hold onto power for the past 26 years. They target anyone who challenges them, discredits them, and finds a means to prevent them from having a party to run under.

Therefore, it was necessary for the school to cease altering and tampering with his academic records. Essentially, it’s to make his transcript available. He paid for his transcript in May after applying for it, but it was never made public.
