Nigeria's Minister of Science and Technology, Ogbonnaya Onu, has rejected a Toyota SUV gift from Ebonyi state governor, Dave Umahi.
In a letter written to the governor, Mr. Ogbonnaya cited the constitution, saying he rejected the gift because the laws of the state excluded him from persons eligible to collect such gifts.
According to him, he won't be able to receive his pension as ex Governor of Abia stage again if he accepts the gift.
The car is reportedly worth N29m.

Oh am very happy that Nigeria is getting back on track. So the constitution makes provisions for this kind of things. Nnaa Men, Buhari is really working, take it or leave it. Let more of this happen.
