The Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) Awka, Anambra state has warned the general public against falling prey to the antics of unscrupulous elements who hide under the name of the University to defraud unsuspecting Nigerians of their hard earned money in the name of giving them admission in the institution as the institution has not commenced admission processes for the 2017/2018 academic session.
The warning was contained in a statement issued in Awka on Tuesday by the University’s Director of Information and Public Relations, Dr. Emmanuel Ojukwu.
