The Human and Environmental Development Agenda (HEDA) has petitioned the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to investigate former Minister Uche Nnaji, alleging he continues to receive salary payments 10 months after resigning. HEDA cites records from the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS) showing Nnaji's profile remains active under the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, with payments totaling over ₦5.8 million. Nnaji resigned in October 2025 after being exposed for submitting forged academic credentials and certificates during his ministerial screening. He was arrested in July 2025 on charges of certificate forgery and money laundering, with court proceedings pending. HEDA calls for an expanded investigation into payroll discrepancies, accountability of officials, and potential additional charges against Nnaji.
