Former Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology and Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in Enugu State, Uche Nnaji, has dismissed recent reports concerning legal proceedings over his academic records.

Nnaji insisted that the issues remain before the courts and should not be decided through public commentary.

Nnaji, in a statement issued by his spokesperson, Robert Ngwu, on Wednesday, said recent media reports had created misconceptions by mixing up civil proceedings, alleged criminal investigations and procedural court actions.

He maintained that the ongoing case involving his academic records, Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1909/2025, was a civil matter initiated by him at the Federal High Court, Abuja, to seek clarification and obtain his official university transcript.
