Tinubu Appoints Kingsley Udeh As Minister Of Science And Technology by Newsgeek24(op): 3:13pm On Nov 04, 2025

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Dr. Kingsley Tochukwu Udeh (SAN) as the new Minister of Science, Innovation and Technology, replacing Mr. Uche Nnaji, who resigned last month over allegations of certificate forgery, Very Nigerian reports.

The appointment was announced in a letter sent to the Senate and read during Tuesday’s plenary by Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

In the letter, President Tinubu stated that the nomination was made in accordance with Section 147(2) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), urging the Senate to give the request prompt attention.

“In compliance with the provisions of Section 147(2) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended), I am pleased to forward to the Senate the nomination of Dr. Kingsley Tochukwu-Udeh for confirmation as Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. While I hope that this request will receive the usual expeditious consideration of the Senate, please accept, distinguished Senate President and distinguished Senators, the assurances of my highest regards,” the letter read in part.

After reading the letter, the Senate referred the nomination to the Committee of the Whole for immediate consideration.

Dr. Udeh, who hails from Enugu State, currently serves as the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in the state.

His appointment fills the ministerial position left vacant by Nnaji, who resigned on October 7, 2025, amid widespread allegations of university certificate forgery.

A lawyer to serve as Minister of Science and Technology? Are we serious in this country?

Science and Technology are critical fields that need a knowledgeable and experienced professional to drive the VISION of the President. Unfortunately, a vision doesn't seem to exist so anything goes.

If not for Trump warning, tinubu woulda appointed a Muslim to occupy that position

It's the fear of Trump that made him to appoint a Christian to save face

No matter what this eye service hateful government does, they're leaving 2027.

They planned to suppress and destroy an entire region of entrepreneurs who have the keys to the prosperity of the country out of hate and envy. This is why they're never on the same level with leaders like OBJ, Yar'Adua, GEJ. These people are useless to Nigeria and should be sent back to Nigeria's dark history where they belong

I love this.
I know a lot you will complain about the misplacement of his field expertise, but sixth sense tells me that the president is bringing in this man as an outsider to do the insider job of oversight, scrutiny and contribution to the legal side deal making that had happened and are happening in our science and technology space.

In 2023, Tinubu had 4,772 votes in the whole of Enugu state.
Even if it takes him appointing a secondary school Yoruba teacher as Minister of Finance, he will do it. As long as the person has political capital to bring more votes.
