UNIZIK 20th Convocation Ceremony 2026 Date

UNIZIK 20th convocation ceremony will hold from 17 to 20 June 2026

Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, has fixed its 20th Convocation Ceremony for Wednesday, 17 June to Saturday, 20 June 2026. The event will give graduands of the 2024/2025 academic session the chance to receive their certificates during the four-day University programme.

The disclosure came from the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Ugochukwu Bond Stanley Anyaehie, during the 242nd Senate meeting of the university.

Dates for the 2026 UNIZIK convocation

The convocation ceremony will hold across four days:

• Wednesday, 17 June 2026
• Thursday, 18 June 2026
• Friday, 19 June 2026
• Saturday, 20 June 2026

Who the ceremony is for

The ceremony is for graduands of the 2024/2025 academic session. During the programme, the graduands will receive their certificates.

What the four-day programme will feature

The Vice-Chancellor stated that the convocation will also feature:

• award of honorary degrees
• bestowment of Emeritus Professorial titles

That sets the event apart a little; it is more than certificate collection alone.

Another convocation may hold in November 2026

Prof. Anyaehie also said there is a chance that another convocation ceremony will hold before the end of the year. He placed it tentatively in November 2026.

The Vice-Chancellor linked that possible date to the birthday of the late Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, also known as Zik of Africa.

Vice-Chancellor’s statement on welfare

The Vice-Chancellor said the welfare of students and staff remains a first priority during his five-year administration as Chief Executive of the university.
