Unpaid Unizik lecturer delivers septuplets, cries for help

…The university lecturer was delivered of two boys and five girls

A lecturer, Mrs Uzodike Ngozi in the Department of Business Administration, Nnamdi Azikiwe University( UNIZIK) Awka Anambra State has been delivered of a set of seven babies.

The university lecturer was actually delivered of two boys and five girls on Sunday, 8 January, 2023.

Mrs Uzodike who was delivered of the septuplets at Obijackson Women and Children Hospital Okija was full of tears both that of joy and sorrow as she complained of having not been paid salary since she was employed in the Department of Business Administration of UNIZIK in December 2020.

The husband, Mr Celestine Uzodike  an indigene of  Omogho, Orumba North, LGA Anambra State,  complained that his wife despite being properly engaged as a lecturer has never earned a kobo as salary, regretting that even after she has been promoted from  Assistant Lecturer to Lecturer II, they haven’t find it feat to pay her salaries.

The family who was billed nineteen million Naira by the Hospital, explained that the state government has already made plans to assist them.

He however appealed to the federal government to pay the two years salary arrears owned to the new mother,  and also come to their aide as they can not be able to foot the hospital bills and take care of the surviving two boys and four girls as one of the girls did not make it.

Mrs Uzodike, who was very weak to speak after the delivery, said “all I want is for philanthropists both in Anambra State and Nigeria at large to come to our aide in other to offset the 19 million Naira hospital bill.”
