Eight years after, alumni remember pioneer CampusLife editor

, who died eight years ago. Her dedication, commitment to journalism and youth development inspired hundreds of students to pursue illustrious careers in journalism and other fields hinged on excellence.

Today marks the eighth year, “Aunty Ngozi”, as she was fondly called by her students, passed on. She died following complications during childbirth one month short of her 36th birthday. But the graduate of English from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka with a Master’s from the University of Lagos lives on in the hearts of the students she trained.

We should remember the beautiful soul she left behind, a wonderful son. His success as a young man should form a barometer with which we assess our own success.Whenever the story of my journalism career is told, there will always be a woman that has a special place in that chronicle. That amazing woman was Aunty Ngozi Nwozor, who gave me the opportunity to practise journalism right from campus in 2007 when I was in my second year in the university.

If she were alive, I would organise a thank-you party and present all my laurels before her and say, “Thank you so much for kick starting all these achievements.”Aunty Ngozi led a vision which empowered students to be change agents on their various campuses. Also, her ingenuity and industry birthed the CampusLife award which was the first of its kind as it provided a platform for students’ journalists all over Nigeria to be recognised.

Ngozi Emmanuel lectures at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka; currently a PhD student at the University of Leicester, UK.It felt strange to receive a call from The Nation’s Kofoworola Belo-Osagie requesting a tribute in commemoration of the eighth death anniversary of Mrs. Ngozi Nwozor-Agbor.
