The former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has advised Nigerian politicians to stop forging university degrees.
Sani was reacting to the certificate scandal involving the Minister of Science and Technology, Uche Nnaji.
The University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), has reportedly declared that the minister was one of its products.
The institution disowned the degree certificate in Nnaji’s possession.
In a post on his X handle on Monday, Sani urged politicians to stop faking degrees.

He stressed that secondary school certificate was enough for public office.
The former lawmaker cautioned political office seekers against making false claims about their academic qualifications.
“All you need to contest elections or for political appointment is a secondary school certificate,” Sani wrote.
“There is no way in the realm of politics one can claim any unearned qualifications without his or her political opponents digging into the matter. Some troubles are unnecessarily self inflicted.”
