Unizik re-adjusts 18th convocation date

The management of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, has readjusted the date for its 18th convocation ceremony.

The ceremony, which was billed to take place on May 30 and 31, 2024, has been readjusted to take place only on May 31.

A press release by the special adviser on special duties and media to the Vice Chancellor of the institution, Dr Emma Ojukwu, stated that the reason for the adjustment is the constitution of the governing council of the university, which will be held in Abuja on May 30.

Ojukwu said: “The Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, wishes to inform all the graduands, friends of the university, the university community, and the general public that the 18th convocation ceremony of the university earlier scheduled to take place on May 30 and 31, 2024, has now been rescheduled to only May 31, 2024.

“The reason for the rescheduling is because of the Federal Government’s appointment of new Governing Council members who will be inaugurated in Abuja on May 30, 2024.

“As the university management is expected to be present at the inauguration in Abuja, it was considered necessary and inevitable to adjust the convocation ceremony date to only May 31, 2024, for all activities of the 2024 18th convocation ceremony.

“All activities involving the undergraduate, postgraduate, award of honorary degrees, and convocation lecture will now take place on May 31, 2024.

“All graduates and the public are to note this information and disregard any other information not emanating from the university. The University Management regrets any inconvenience this adjustment will cause.”
