Nigerian activist and author, Dele Farotimi has described the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Uche Nnaji as the most honourable individual in the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

This statement was contained in a post that he shared on his official X handle on Tuesday, October 7, 2025.

His statement is coming after Channels TV announced that Uche Nnaji has resigned from his position as the MInister of Innovation, Science and Technology over issues surrounding his certificates.

The report further stated that a painstaking two-year investigation that was carried out has shown that Nnaji allegedly forged the credentials that he submitted to President Bola Tinubu and the Nigerian Senate during his ministerial confirmation.

However, Dele Farotimi has now stated that Uche Nnaji is an honourable person for resigning from the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Here is what Dele Farotimi wrote on his official X handle;

“I don’t know him and I don’t send him but this guy is more honourable than every other person in the cabinet from which he has honourably resigned”.
