No less than 7000 freshers took the matriculation oath at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) in Awka, the Anambra State capital, last week. It was all excitement as the students, in black academic gown, pledged to obey the school rules.
The Vice Chancellor (VC), Prof Joseph Ahaneku, congratulated the freshers on their admission, noting that more than 50,000 applied to study at the institution. He reiterated his administration’s commitment to harnessing human and material resources in the pursuit of the actualisation of his dream to make the institution world-class.

The VC assured that all the academic programmes of the university had been accredited by the National Universities Commission (NUC). Students, he said, must attend 75 per cent of each lecture to be allowed to write exam.
He also advised them against joining unlawful associations, saying any students found guilty of misconducts, such as examination malpractice, robbery, rape and cultism, would be expelled.
The Dean of Students’ Affairs (DSA), Prof Ken Nwogu, charged the fresh students to obey the school rules. He urged them to take their studies seriously in order to graduate at record time.
