Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, the Minister of Science and Technology under the Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, is dead.
A source close to the deceased disclosed that Mr Onu, a former governor of Abia State, died after a brief illness in an undisclosed hospital in Nigeria.
Recall that the late 72-year-old former minister had contested for the presidential flag of the All Progressive Congress, APC, during the 2023 general election, but lost to President Bola Tinubu.
