Mr Ogbuagu Anikwe, Special Adviser on Media to the minister, expressed the appreciation in a statement made available on Wednesday.
“I feel particularly proud that my exit came when the administration has been able to give steady supply of power in the history of our nation,” the statement quoted Nnaji as saying.
He said that he had to voluntarily resign the appointment as a minister to retain his integrity which had come under attacks in recent days.
“This resignation is also to ensure that there is no spill over of these attacks to the President who is working very hard to transform the nation,” he said
Nnaji said that not many Nigerians had the privilege of serving the nation twice as minister.
“I am confident enough to allow history and the Nigerian people to judge my performance on the task that I accepted from the President,” he said.
Before his appointment as Minister of Power, Prof. Nnaji was the Special Adviser on Power to President Goodluck Jonathan and Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Power.
He had in 1993 served as the Minister of Science and Technology.
