After four years in  Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka (UNIZIK),two young men who were roommates defied the odds to graduate with first class.
Apart from sharing the same middle name, Henry Ikenna Ozor and Joshua Ikenna Akuchi, seem to have a lot in common.

The two were classmates  in secondary school.When they met as undergraduates in the faculty of Engineering of UNIZIK, they became roommates.
Years down the line, the pair conquered expectations when they both graduated with first class degrees, and even finished as best graduating students from their departments.

Henry Ikenna Ozor, finished with a first class from the Chemical Engineering department of UNIZIK.Henry who hails from Iwollo in Ezeagu local government area of Enugu state, finished with a 4.85CGPA to become the best graduating student in the entire faculty of Engineering. While Joshua who hails from Ezza North local government in Ebonyi state, finished with a 4.66CGPA and emerged the best graduating student of the Mechanical Engineering department.

The pair seem to always challenge each other.When they represented UNIZIK at the national Engineering competition which was organised by the Committee of Deans of Engineering and Technology (CODET), Joshua emerged the first runner-up while Henry came second.

Narrating their journey and their success story,the pair who went to school on scholarship said:

Henry: “As an indigent student, I had a challenge of paying my fee. I remember I could not pay school fees and house rent. 

Joshua: “I squatted in a friend’s hostel for about eight months when I was in 100-Level until I got money to pay my rent. Like Henry, I also applied and wrote many scholarship examinations''.
