The Vice‑Chancellor of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka (UNIZIK), Professor Ugochukwu Bond Stanley Anyaehie, has pledged his administration’s readiness to partner with community stakeholders for the university’s development.

He made the pledge during a courtesy visit by a delegation from the Forum of Anambra State Village Chairmen on Thursday, 27 November 2025.

The delegation, led by Forum Chairman Mr. Osita K. Ozalagba, congratulated Professor Anyaehie on his recent appointment, commending the transparent selection process and describing him as a “good manager” for the institution. Mr. Ozalagba highlighted UNIZIK’s standing as a premier centre of learning within their communities and assured the Vice‑Chancellor of the forum’s unwavering support, stating, “Ours is Grace at Work, and we will be there for you always.”

In his response, Professor Anyaehie expressed gratitude for the visit — noting the delegation arrived without immediate demands — and affirmed an open‑door policy and willingness to collaborate. He called on the community leaders to help identify partners who can drive development, particularly at the university’s Ifite Ogwari Campus, urging them to “change the narrative” there.
