Court Adjourns Uche Nnaji’s Suit Over Academic Records to February 2027

The Federal High Court in Abuja has adjourned former minister Uche Nnaji’s suit against the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), the Minister of Education, the National Universities Commission and university officials until February 15, 2027. The case was adjourned after counsel for the Minister of Education was absent. The parties agreed to the new hearing date. Nnaji filed the suit amid allegations of certificate forgery. He is asking the court to compel UNN to release his academic transcript and to stop the university and its officials from altering his academic records while the case is pending. Some of the respondents are challenging the suit, arguing that it was filed outside the permitted time, followed the wrong procedure and should be struck out for lack of jurisdiction. They also say there was no prior refusal to release the records or evidence of interference with them. The court has not yet ruled on those objections.
