President Bola Ahmed Tonubu of Nigeria
0:02
has accepted the resignation of the
0:04
Minister of Innovation, Science and
0:07
Technology, Jeffrey Uucha Naji, who had
0:09
been accused of forging the degree
0:11
certificate of the University of Nigeria
0:14
in Suker and the certificate of
0:16
completion of service for the one-year
0:18
mandatory National Youth Service Corps
0:20
NYC after he allegedly failed an exit
0:23
course viology repeatedly at the
0:26
university. Nigeria presidency in a
0:29
statement made available a few minutes
0:31
ago by the presidential spokesperson Beo
0:34
Onuga stated that President Bola Ahmed
0:38
Tonubu has accepted the resignation of
0:40
Jeffrey Naraji the minister of
0:42
innovation science and technology
0:45
following some allegations against him.
0:48
President Tonubu appointed Naji in
0:50
August 2023. He resigned today in a
0:53
letter thanking the president for
0:55
allowing him to serve Nigeria. Naji said
0:58
he has been a target of blackmail by
1:00
political opponents. President Tonubu
1:03
thanked him for his service and wished
1:05
him well in future endeavors. Earlier
1:09
Nigeria state controlled media NTA had
1:12
reported that the minister of
1:14
innovation, science and technology which
1:17
Jeffrey Naraji has dismissed reports
1:19
questioning his academic qualifications
1:22
describing him as politically motivated
1:24
attempts to tarnish his image. The
1:26
minister has firmly defended the
1:28
authenticity of his University of
1:30
Nigeria insuka degree. Speaking through
1:33
his spokesperson, Dr. Robert NGWU,
1:38
the minister said records from UNN
1:40
confirm he graduated in July 1985 with a
1:44
bachelor's degree in microbiology and
1:46
biochemistry, secondclass honors, lower
1:49
division. He described recent reports
1:52
denying his graduation as false,
1:54
malicious, and politically driven,
1:57
alleging that the controversy began
1:58
after opposition figures took key
2:00
positions within the university. Naraji
2:03
revealed that the Federal High Court in
2:05
Abuja has issued protective orders
2:07
restraining the university from
2:09
tampering with his records and directing
2:11
the release of his academic transcript.
2:14
Reaffirming his focus on national
2:16
service, the minister said no amount of
2:18
political blackmail or media trial will
2:21
distract him from advancing innovation
2:23
and technology in Nigeria. He urged the
2:26
University of Nigeria to uphold its
2:28
motto to restore the dignity of man and
2:31
resist being used for partisan purposes.
2:34
In a swift reaction on Tuesday, Enugu
2:37
state government denied sponsoring
2:39
allegations of certificate forgery
2:41
against the Minister of Innovation,
2:44
Science and Technology, Chief Uucha
2:46
Najaraji, urging him to carry his cross
2:49
and clear his name before Nigerians. The
2:52
government in a press statement issued
2:54
in Anugu on Monday by the director of
2:57
information in the ministry of
2:59
information and communication, Mr. Chuku
3:01
Mechanibbo said it had no hand
3:03
whatsoever in the controversies
3:05
surrounding the minister's academic
3:07
records. The Enugu state government
3:10
dissociates itself completely from these
3:12
allegations. The honorable minister must
3:15
carry his own cross and clear his name
3:17
before Nigerians. Instead of dragging
3:19
the government into issues that are
3:21
entirely personal to him, Mr. Nebo
3:24
declared. The director of information
3:26
recalled that Chief Naraji had invited
3:28
journalists to a world press conference
3:31
scheduled for Monday at 2 p.m. to
3:33
address the matter but failed to show
3:35
up. A large number of Nigerian and
3:38
international journalists reportedly
3:40
gathered on the minister's invitation to
3:42
hear directly from him. But rather than
3:44
appear before them to answer questions
3:46
and establish his innocence, the
3:48
minister absconded, leaving behind
3:51
proxies who could not withstand the
3:53
barrage of legitimate questions from
3:54
journalists. Who can narrate Chief
3:57
Naraji's UNN story better than him? Why
4:00
invite the media only to outsource the
4:03
conference? Why send third parties who
4:06
lack the answers to critical questions
4:09
if he truly has nothing to hide? Mr.
4:12
Neibo queried did he for his screening
4:15
present a purported degree certificate
4:17
to the Senate showing that he graduated
4:19
from the prestigious University of
4:21
Nigeria in Suka UNN in July 1985.
4:26
Is it true that he deposed in a federal
4:28
high court filing in Abuja that he was
4:30
not issued any degree certificate by UNN
4:33
and if so how did he come about the
4:36
degree certificate he presented to the
4:38
Senate? Is it also true that while he
4:40
claims to have graduated in July 1985,
4:44
he applied to the university to retake
4:46
viology course code MCB 431 in the
4:51
September 1985 supplementary examination
4:54
having failed the course. Is it also
4:57
true that the university in a November
4:59
8th, 1985 letter informed Naraji that he
5:03
again failed viology course code MCB 431
5:08
in the supplementary examinations but
5:11
could register to retake the course in
5:12
the June 1986 examinations provided he
5:16
paid an examination fee of 4 naira 4
5:19
naira. Is it true that on January 3rd,
5:22
1986, he again applied to retake the
5:25
viology course code MCB 431
5:30
examination in June 1986,
5:33
stating in his letter that the receipt
5:34
for the payment of the four naira 4
5:37
naira reset fee had been attached. Is it
5:40
true that while he claims to be in
5:42
possession of a university degree, he
5:45
only submitted his secondary school WC
5:48
certificate to the Independent National
5:50
Electoral Commission
5:52
for his participation in the 2023
5:55
governorship election? Why did Naji's
5:58
proxy state at the Abuja press
6:00
conference that the minister graduated
6:02
while avoiding stating categorically
6:05
that he was issued a degree certificate?
6:07
Did he also present a purported NYSC
6:10
discharge certificate showing that he
6:12
commenced his national service in April
6:14
1985,
6:16
3 months before his supposed graduation,
6:19
and served until July 1986, an unusual
6:22
duration of 13 months instead of the
6:24
usual 12 months of national service.
6:28
Whereas the CEO of the NYSC at the time
6:31
he claimed to have undergone the
6:32
national service was Colonel Ed Apen.
6:35
January 1984 to December 1987. Ruchin
6:39
Naraji's NYC discharge certificate was
6:42
signed by Colonel Anamashon Brimo who
6:45
was NYSC CEO from January 1988 to
6:48
December 1990.
6:50
Is it true that NYSC certificates issued
6:53
up till October 1990 had six-digit
6:56
numbering devoid of alphabetic
6:58
characters? But Najaraji's discharge
7:01
certificate supposedly issued in 1986
7:04
was numbered A231309
7:07
which includes the alphabet A. And above
7:10
all, is it a fact that he deposed to an
7:13
affidavit in the suit he filed in court
7:15
that UNN did not issue him any
7:17
certificate? And if that is the case,
7:20
Nigerians want to know how he came about
7:22
the certificate he submitted to the
7:24
Senate of his own free will in 2023.
7:27
These are the clarifications Nigerians
7:30
earnestly yearn for and Chief Uchain
7:32
Naraji is urged to brave up to clear his
7:34
name if he is truly innocent rather than
7:37
trading blames. Neibo stressed. Daily
7:40
Post newspaper had reported that an
7:43
Abuja federal high court has rejected a
7:45
bid by the Minister of Innovation,
7:47
Science and Technology Naji to stop the
7:51
University of Nigeria in Suka UN from
7:55
releasing his academic records. The
7:58
Minister of Education, National
8:00
Universities Commission, NU, UNN, the
8:04
university's vice chancellor, its
8:06
registar and the Senate of the
8:08
Institution were listed as respondents
8:10
in the suit. An application for interim
8:13
injunction filed by the minister's
8:14
lawyer asked the court to restrain the
8:16
respondents from acting on a request for
8:18
release of his academic records.
8:21
However, Justice Housewa turned down the
8:24
application. The minister had prayed the
8:27
court for an order granting leave to the
8:29
applicant to issue the prerogative writ
8:31
of prohibition on the threeth fifth and
8:34
the seventh respondents the VC registar
8:37
and senate of the school from tampering
8:40
with or continuing to tamper with the
8:42
applicant's academic records at UN. The
8:45
minister also prayed for an order
8:47
granting him leave to issue the
8:49
prerogative writ of mandamus compelling
8:51
the third, two, fifth and the seventh
8:53
respondents to release to him his
8:55
academic transcript at the varsity.
8:57
Other reliefs sought include an order
9:00
granting leave to the applicant to issue
9:02
the prerogative writ of mandamus
9:04
compelling the first and second
9:05
respondents to ensure utilizing their
9:08
supervisory and disciplinary powers that
9:10
the third to fifth and the seventh
9:12
respondents released to the applicant
9:14
his academic transcript at the
9:16
University of Nigeria in Suka. an
9:19
interim order of injunction restraining
9:21
the third, two, fifth, and the seventh
9:24
respondents from tampering or continuing
9:26
to tamper with the applicant's academic
9:28
records at the University of Nigeria in
9:31
Suka pending the determination of the
9:33
substantive suit. In rejecting the
9:36
application after listening to the
9:37
council, the judge held, "I have
9:40
therefore perused the 34 paragraph
9:42
affidavit and the six paragraph
9:44
affidavit of urgency deposed to by the
9:46
applicant, the grounds upon which this
9:48
application is made, the exhibits
9:51
attached there to, and the further
9:52
affidavit of six paragraphs deposed to
9:54
by Martin Luther Aawi. I have equally
9:58
considered the written address of
9:59
council. I shall therefore refer to
10:01
paragraphs 15, 16, 22, 23, 24, 25, and
10:08
29 of the affidavit in support of this
10:11
application. Exhibits 1, 2D, and
10:13
paragraphs 3, 4, and five of the further
10:16
affidavit. I'm of the humble view from
10:19
the facts deposed in the affidavit
10:21
alongside the exhibits attached that the
10:24
applicant has sufficient interest in the
10:26
matter to which this application
10:27
relates. Thus, this application is
10:30
meritorious. Consequently, I hereby
10:33
grant prayer 1, 2, and three only.
10:36
Prayer four is declined. Having been
10:39
refused, the granting of reliefs 1, 2,
10:42
three shall not serve as injunctive
10:44
reliefs against any of the parties. UNN
10:47
had disowned the minister's certificate
10:49
in a letter addressed to Premium Times
10:52
written by the vice chancellor,
10:53
Professor Simon Oruna. In the letter
10:56
dated October 2nd, 2025, the university
11:00
maintained that the minister did not
11:02
complete his studies. We refer to your
11:04
letter dated the 29th of September 2025.
11:08
In respect of the above subject matter,
11:11
we can confirm that Mr. Jeffrey
11:13
Uuchchukunagi
11:14
with metriculation number 1,98130,725ths
11:21
was admitted by the University of
11:23
Nigeria in Suka in 1981.
11:26
From every available records and
11:28
information from the University of
11:30
Nigeria in Suka, we are unable to
11:33
confirm that Mr. Jeffrey Uetchukunagi,
11:36
the current minister of science and
11:38
technology, graduated from the
11:40
University of Nigeria in July 1985 as
11:44
there are no records of his completion
11:45
of study in the University of Nigeria in
11:48
Ssuka. Flowing from above, the
11:51
University of Nigeria Insuka did not and
11:54
consequently could not have issued the
11:56
purported certificate or at all in July
11:59
1985 to Mr. Jeffrey Ucha Kunagi, the
12:03
current Minister of Science and
12:04
Technology. This conclusion is also in
12:07
conssonance with an earlier letter dated
12:09
May 13th, 2025. Reference number run SR
12:14

bringing you the news in a more digital
12:30
way. Princess owner Tora Majay Kadumanu
12:33
from Oan state and a commonwealth award
12:35
winner who is currently pursuing a
12:37
master degree in law has called on the
12:39
federal government of Nigeria under the
12:41
leadership of President Bola Ahmed
12:44
Tonubu to immediately release the
12:45
detained Bafra Republic agitation leader
12:48
Mazi Nami Kananu stating in a statement
12:51
personally signed and made available to
12:54
media newsroom on Monday that 10 years
12:57
of detention without conviction is a
12:59
grave violation of the fundamental human
13:01
rights of Marzi Nami Kanu specifically
13:04
stated verbatim that the continued
13:06
detention of Mr. Kanu without conviction
13:10
is not merely a legal anomaly. It is a
13:12
profound failure of justice and a grave
13:15
violation of his fundamental human
13:17
rights. His prolonged detention exposes
13:19
the widening gap between Nigeria's
13:21
constitutional expectations and the
13:23
daily realities of citizens. We must
13:26
have a justice system that acts with
13:28
both fairness and decisive strength, not
13:30
one ins snared in endless procedural
13:32
limbo and mired in public distrust.
13:35
According to the princess, across the
13:37
span of a decade, Mazi Nami Kanu has
13:40
endured one of the longest and most
13:42
troubling pre-trial detentions in
13:44
Nigeria's history. Arrested in 2015,
13:48
accused, pleading not guilty, and never
13:51
convicted, he remains confined in a
13:53
blatant defiance of the most fundamental
13:55
human rights principles. Where is
13:58
justice? When a man stands unconvicted
14:00
for 10 years, while those charged with
14:02
upholding justice remain silent, the
14:05
continued detention of Mr. Ku without
14:08
conviction is not merely a legal
14:10
anomaly. It is a profound failure of
14:13
justice and a grave violation of his
14:15
fundamental human rights. His prolonged
14:18
detention exposes the widening gap
14:20
between Nigeria's constitutional
14:22
expectations and the daily realities of
14:24
citizens. We must have a justice system
14:27
that acts with both fairness and
14:29
decisive strength, not one ins snared in
14:31
endless procedural limbo and mired in
14:33
public distrust. No charge, however
14:37
grave, should ever eclipse the principle
14:39
that every individual is presumed
14:41
innocent until proven guilty. That
14:43
principle is the very cornerstone of law
14:46
and must never be broken regardless of
14:48
who holds power. As we call for Mazi
14:51
Nami Kanu's immediate and unconditional
14:53
freedom, my heart goes out to millions
14:56
of Nigerians across tribal lines,
14:59
generations, and economic classes from
15:02
Borneo to Quirre to Lagos crying out for
15:04
help against armed violence, force
15:06
displacement, demolitions, unlawful
15:09
detentions, untimely deaths, and the
15:11
persistent scarcity of life's most basic
15:14
necessities. Beyond politics, every life
15:17
matters. Marzin Amdi Kanu's health and
15:20
spirit are at grave risk after 10 years
15:23
behind bars without a proven crime. This
15:26
declaration is an urgent proclamation.
15:29
We will count every second, every hour,
15:32
every day and continue to galvanize
15:34
until Mazi Nami Kanu is restored to his
15:37
rightful freedom. Nigeria now stands at
15:40
a cross of roads where history will
15:42
judge the true motives of those in
15:44
power. The eyes of the world are
15:46
watching and the conscience of the
15:48
nation is restless. The promise of our
15:51
democracy depends not only on acts of
15:53
courage within the halls of power but
15:55
also on the bold united actions of
15:58
citizens. About Mazi Nami Kanu. Mazi
16:01
Nambi Kanu born in Isama Abby state
16:06
Nigeria is a Nigerianborn British
16:08
citizen and leader of the indigenous
16:10
people of Bafra IPOB.
16:13
He has long advocated peacefully for the
16:15
recognition and protection of the
16:17
political, economic and cultural rights
16:20
of citizens of Nigeria's southeast. He
16:23
has never been convicted of any crime
16:26
nor accused of any act of violence. His
16:29
prolonged detention, despite serious
16:31
legal questions surrounding his
16:33
rendition and years of unbroken
16:35
pre-trial custody, remains a striking
16:37
violation of due process and a challenge
16:40
to Nigeria's constitutional and
16:42
humanitarian commitments. Princess Ola

bringing you the news in a more digital
18:07
way. Vladimir Zalinski, the president of
18:10
Ukraine, may have given a clearer
18:12
picture on how some companies are
18:14
apparently aiding and making more money
18:16
from the ongoing war in his country
18:18
Ukraine, saying, "Since the start of the
18:20
war years ago, some unnamed companies in
18:23
the United States, US, United Kingdom,
18:27
UK, China, Germany, Taiwan, Switzerland,
18:32
Japan, Korea Republic, Netherlands are
18:34
producing components. Russia under
18:37
President Vladimir Putin is using to
18:39
produce weapons of mass destruction to
18:42
kill his people. This Zalinski in his
18:44
own words said on Monday that in the
18:47
fourth year of the full-scale war,
18:49
Russia continues to obtain components
18:51
for producing weapons. During the
18:53
massive combined strike on Ukraine on
18:56
the night of October 5th, Russia used
18:58
549
19:00
weapon systems containing
19:03
12,785
19:05
foreignade components from companies in
19:08
the United States, China and Taiwan, the
19:11
United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland,
19:14
Japan, the Republic of Korea, and the
19:16
Netherlands. Nearly 100,688
19:20
of foreign made parts were in the
19:22
launched attack drones, about 1,500 were
19:26
in a scandas,
19:28
192 in Kinsel missiles, and 45 in
19:32
calibers. Zalinski stated this in a
19:34
statement made available through his
19:36
personal social media profile on Monday
19:39
after about 30 people were injured as a
19:41
result of the Russian attack on a moving
19:43
passenger train, killing one person in
19:46
Shka district of Ukraine on Saturday.
19:49
According to Zalinski, Ukraine is
19:51
preparing new sanctions against those
19:53
who help Russia and its war and we have
19:56
communicated proposals to curb the
19:58
supply schemes. partners already possess
20:01
the detailed data on each company and
20:03
each product. They know what to target
20:05
and how to respond. This week, the G7
20:09
sanctions coordinators will meet and we
20:11
expect a systemic decision to ensure
20:13
that the sanctions are truly effective.
20:16
It is crucial to shut down every scheme
20:18
that circumvents sanctions because
20:20
Russia uses each one to keep killing.
20:23
The world has the power to stop this. In
20:26
the fourth year of the full-scale war,
20:28
Russia continues to obtain components
20:30
for producing weapons. During the
20:33
massive combined strike on Ukraine on
20:35
the night of October 5th, Russia used
20:38
549
20:39
weapons systems containing
20:42
12,785
20:44
foreignmade components from companies in
20:47
the United States, China and Taiwan, the
20:50
United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland,
20:52
Japan, the Republic of Korea, and the
20:55
Netherlands. Nearly 100,688
20:59
of foreign made parts were in the
21:01
launched attack drones. About 1,500 were
21:04
in a scandas,
21:06
192 in Kinsel missiles, and 405 in
21:10
calibers. In particular, companies in
21:13
the United States manufacture converters
21:16
for KH 101 missiles and shard iron type
21:20
drones, sensors for those UAVs and for
21:22
Kinsel missiles, analog to digital
21:25
converters for drones and missiles, and
21:27
micro electronics for missiles. At least
21:30
50 different micro electronic components
21:32
in each shard are produced in China and
21:35
Taiwan. Microcontrollers for UAVs are
21:38
made in Switzerland, while
21:40
microcomputers for drone flight control
21:42
are produced in the United Kingdom. Opto
21:45
isolators for cruise missiles come from
21:47
Japan, switching connectors from
21:50
Germany. Russia also uses processes
21:53
manufactured in the Netherlands and
21:54
servo motors and bearings made in the
21:56
Republic of Korea. In a separate
21:59
statement, Zalinski said, "Since the
22:02
start of the full-scale invasion, the
22:04
capacity of Ukraine's defense industry
22:06
has increased by 10fold. Our production
22:09
potential for drones and missiles alone
22:11
will reach $ 35 billion next year.
22:15
Already over 40% of the weapons in use
22:17
at the front are either made in Ukraine
22:19
or produced with Ukraine. And the share
22:22
of our weapons will only grow." The task
22:25
for manufacturers, for the government of
22:27
Ukraine, for all institutions involved
22:30
is that by the end of the year, no less
22:32
than 50% of the weapons at the front
22:34
must be our Ukrainian weapons, and this
22:38
task must be accomplished. We need
22:40
funding to unleash our full potential,
22:42
and we are working with every partner
22:44
who can help make this possible. It is
22:47
time to start exporting our Ukrainian
22:49
weapons, those types we have in surplus
22:52
and can therefore export to finance the
22:54
types of weapons that are especially
22:56
needed for our defense. I have already
22:59
instructed the government, the office
23:01
and the secretary of the National
23:03
Security and Defense Council of Ukraine
23:05
to develop and present the key elements
23:07
of such an export system. The working
23:10
title of this program is Zua, our export
23:13
product. Agreements are already in place
23:16
to launch export import platforms in
23:19
Europe, the United States, and the
23:21
Middle East. The task is to have these
23:24
platforms operational by the end of the
23:26
year. I said this during the
23:28
International Defense Industries Forum,
23:30
which we are opening for the third time
23:32
in Ukraine today. On the recent attack
23:35
in Shaskka area of Ukraine, Zalinski
23:38
said, "Russia ignores or rebuffs
23:40
literally every opportunity to end the
23:42
war and guarantee security. Putin wants
23:45
to wage it and do it by terrorist
23:48
despicable methods. Russia must feel the
23:51
consequences. Europe, America, the G7
23:55
and the G20 have the power to deal with
23:57
any terrorist." A savage Russian drone
24:00
strike on the railway station in Shaskka
24:03
Sunumi region. All emergency services
24:06
are already on the scene and have begun
24:08
helping people. All information about
24:11
the injured is being established. So far
24:14
we know of at least 30 victims.
24:16
Preliminary reports indicate that both
24:20
staff and passengers were at the site of
24:22
the strike. The Russians could not have
24:24
been unaware that they were striking
24:26
civilians. And this is terror the world
24:29
must not ignore. Every day Russia takes
24:32
people's lives and only strength can
24:34
make them stop. We've heard resolute
24:37
statements from Europe and America and
24:39
it's high time to turn them all into
24:41
reality together with everyone who
24:43
refuses to accept murder and terror as
24:45
normal. Lip service is not enough now.
24:49
Strong action is needed. Andre Civa,
24:52
Ukraine Minister of Foreign Affairs,
24:54
also said that the attacks were targeted
24:56
and deliberate Russian drone strikes on
24:58
passenger trains in Shka Sunni region.
25:02
Not one but two strikes one after
25:04
another. This is one of the most
25:06
barbaric Russian tactics. The so-called
25:09
double tap with the second attack
25:11
hitting rescuers and people who are
25:13
evacuating. Russian terrorists must get
25:16
strong responses for this deliberate and
25:18
brutal terror against civilians.
25:21
Words are not enough. New devastating
25:23
sanctions, new strengthening for
25:25
Ukraine. This can be done and must be
25:28
done to raise the cost of this war for
25:30
Russia. Putin must feel the danger of
25:33
continuing this war personally for him
25:34
and his regime. Jan Lipovski, Czech
25:38
Minister of Foreign Affairs, while
25:40
reacting to the attack in the Shska
25:42
community said, "While we are voting on
25:44
Czecha's security, Russia keeps showing
25:47
the world its true face. The attack on
25:50
the train running from Shosska to Kev is
25:52
yet another proof of its barbarity and
25:54
state terrorism orchestrated by the
25:56
Kremlin. My thoughts are with all those
25:59
injured and their loved ones." But
26:01
Victor Victop, a commentator in his
26:04
analysis said that Zalinski claimed that
26:07
Russia allegedly targeted a passenger
26:09
train at the Shoska railway station.
26:12
There is video of the strike, but upon
26:14
closer inspection, there was no mention
26:16
of any passengers. The footage shows the
26:19
strike hitting a diesel locomotive and a
26:22
freight train loaded with containers
26:24
immediately behind it. Video one. It
26:27
looks like a typical military train.
26:29
There are no pure passenger trains. Yes,
26:33
one car looks similar, but the rest of
26:35
the train is filled with containers.
26:37
Photo one. Most likely, this single
26:41
passenger train was used to protect the
26:43
cargo. A common practice when military
26:46
transport is disguised as civilian. Now,
26:49
let's look at the schedule. No passenger
26:51
trains departed from Shka today. The
26:54
last train was on October 3rd, and the
26:56
next one won't be until the 5th, so it's
26:59
logical to assume that there simply
27:01
couldn't have been any peaceful
27:02
passengers there. The free movement of
27:05
military cargo across Ukraine has ended.
27:08
Russia has finally started doing what
27:10
it's supposed to do.
27:14
Bringing you the news in a more digital
27:18
way.
