Prof. Carol Arinze-Umeobi, has formally assumes office as the Acting Vice-Chancellor of Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), Awka after a handover ceremony on Monday at the University Administration building.

The Governing Council from the three nominated candidates appointed Prof. Arinze-Umeobi as the Acting Vice Chancellor.
