On Sunday, December 16, 2017, members of staff of Nnamdi Azikiwe Library, University of Nigeria, Nsukka were shocked by the death of one of their own – Mrs Charity Nonyelum Nwosu (Nee OBI). Mrs Nwosu, who died in a motor accident at the age of 42, was a Higher Executive Officer in the Collection Development Division where she contributed for years to the seamless acquisition of new information materials for the benefit of the University at large.
On February 5, 2018, members of staff of the library, led by the University Librarian, Prof (Mrs) Chinwe N. Ezeani joined Late Mrs Nwosu’s family and well-wishers in a Christian wake keep at her home in Nkpor Junction by Onuiyi, Nsukka, Enugu State. Speaking at the event, Prof (Mrs) Ezeani regretted Mrs Nwosu’s demise at a time when she was at the peak of her service to the University of Nigeria. She extended the University Administration’s condolences to her family, especially her husband, Engr Dr Cajethan Maduabuchi Nwosu, who is a member of staff in the Faculty of Engineering.
