Nnamdi Azikwe University (UNIZIK) is one of the top 11 most preferred Universities in Nigeria. And to be offered admission into the school, you must make sure all the requirements are met due to high competition. The O’ level result, UTME subject combination, and UTME score must meet up with the University requirements.
It is because of the competitiveness of the school that prompted me to write on UNIZIK admission requirements and how to be offered admission into UNIZIK.
