Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, the Minister of Science and Technology under the Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, is dead.
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 contested for the presidential flag of the All Progressive Congress (APC) during the 2023 general election, but lost to President Bola Tinubu.
Onu was a Nigerian politician, author and engineer until his death in April 2024.
