Popular Writer Ms. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has disclaimed a news report making the rounds that she’s been appointed as a Visiting Professor by the University of Nigeria Nsukka, UNN. Adichie’s Communication Team in a statement issued on December 24 by Omawumi Ogbe said no such offer had been made to her and she had not accepted such an offer countering the December 18 statement issued by the UNN spokesperson Inya Agu that the Vice Chancellor Prof. Simon Ortuanya, appointed Adichie, Prof. Kevin Urama, an executive at the African Development Bank (AfDB), and Prof. James Robinson, a professor of the University of Chicago, as visiting professors.
The Statement by Adichie’s Team
“It has come to our attention that several news outlets are reporting that Ms. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has been appointed as a ‘Visiting Professor’ at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN).
“We wish to state categorically that this information is entirely false.
“Ms. Adichie has not received any such appointment, nor has she been in communication with the University regarding a professorship. The reports claiming that official letters were signed and dated December 18, 2025, are inaccurate.
“While UNN holds a very special place in Ms. Adichie’s heart as the institution where she grew up and where her parents served as Professor and Registrar, respectively, it is disappointing that such a significant claim would be circulated without any verification.
“We urge the public and the media to disregard these false reports. We also request that the outlets currently carrying this news take it down immediately to avoid the further spread of misinformation.”
