President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has accepted the resignation of Geoffrey Uche Nnaji, the Minister of Innovation, Science, and Technology, following allegations reportedly leveled against him.
Nnaji, who was appointed in August 2023, tendered his resignation on Tuesday, expressing gratitude to the President for the opportunity to serve the nation.
In his resignation letter, the minister said he had become the target of “political blackmail” and decided to step aside to protect the integrity of the administration.
President Tinubu, in accepting the resignation, thanked Nnaji for his contributions to the Federal Executive Council and wished him success in his future endeavors.
The Presidency has yet to announce a replacement for the position.
