As of October 6, 2025, Nigeria’s political landscape is witnessing varied levels of public and media attention on two prominent figures, Uche Nnaji and Nyesom Wike, sparking discussions about consistency in accountability.
Uche Nnaji, the Minister of Science, Technology, and Innovation, has recently faced scrutiny over his academic credentials, dubbed “#Uchegate” by some observers. The University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) confirmed on October 2, 2025, that Nnaji, admitted in 1981, did not complete his studies or receive a Bachelor of Science degree.

Additionally, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has disowned a certificate attributed to him, raising questions about the authenticity of documents he submitted during his ministerial screening in 2023.
In contrast, Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), is under examination for allegations of land mismanagement in Abuja.
Reports from 2024 and 2025 suggest he has revoked long-standing land allocations, including a 1984 grant, and approved plots for family and associates.
This situation highlights ongoing debates about fairness in political oversight, though investigations into both officials continue to unfold as of on October 6, 2025
