We look forward to seeing the initiatives that Angelica Chinecherem Uwaezuoke introduces and continues at the campus,” Adedoyin said.

Angelica Chinecherem Uwaezuoke is a fiction writer and content creator who hails from Umuogele Amuda Isuochi in Umunneochi LGA of Abia State. She is in her penultimate year at the prestigious University of Nigeria Nsukka where she studies Medicine and Surgery.

As a child, Angelica was noticed to put down her imaginations of the world around her into writing for which extra efforts where made to encourage her to continue in this path. Hibaya Book Club, a unique book reading club which she runs, aims to revive the exciting experience of reading amongst young people.

Her masterpiece, VERNONIA , published on OkadaBooks brought her into limelight.

Before this publication, several of her works have appeared in bulletins, Opera news hub and the maiden anthology of LOGISS Teen Authors Creativity Centre.

She is currently working on a second book- Black Faced Two-timer- which shall be published in the near future.
