The Federal High Court in Abuja has postponed the legal case between former Minister Uche Nnaji and the University of Nigeria, Nsukkauntill February 15,2027.

Justice Hauwa Yilwa set the date on Wednesday after the Minister of Education, the first respondent, was not represented in court.

Nnaji filed the case after allegations that his certificate was forged.

He wants the court to stop UNN from tampering with his academic records and to order the university to release his transcript.

He has also asked the Minister of Education and the National Universities Commission to use their powers to make the university comply.

The university and other respondents have challenged the case.

They argue that it was filed too late, that it was wrongly brought as a motion, that a university's handling of academic records is outside the court's jurisdiction, and that Nnaji did not first use internal university procedures.

They have asked the court to throw it out.
