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.
Arinze-Umobi received handover notes from the outgoing Acting Vice Chancellor, Prof. Joseph Ifeanyichukwu Ikechebelu.

Kukoyi, reads “By virtue of Section 5(13) of the Act, your term of appointment shall not exceed a maximum period of six (6) months, or until a substantive Vice-Chancellor is appointed, whichever comes first”.
Senate of Nnamdi Azikiwe University on May 16 nominated through election three Professors (Prof. Au Nkemdilim Nonyelu, Prof. Carol Arinze-Umeobi and Prof. Ada Sam-Omenyi) as possible replacement for the outgoing Acting Vice Chancellor.
The Governing Council from the three nominated candidates appointed Prof. Arinze-Umeobi as the Acting Vice Chancellor.
