A lecturer in the Department of Business Administration, Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) Awka, Anambra State, Mrs Uzodike Ngozi has delivered a set of seven twins (Septuplets)- two boys and five girls.
It was learnt that she delivered the babies on Sunday.
Mrs Uzodike delivered the septuplets at Obijackson Women and Children Hospital Okija in the Ihiala local government area of the state.
However, the joy of the mother seems to have brought her tears as she complained of inability to pay the hospital bill since she has not been paid her salary.

She was employed in the Department of Business Administration of UNIZIK in December 2020.
According to the husband, Mr Celestine Uzodike who is an indigene of Omogho, Orumba North LGA Anambra State as well as a junior aide to the Governor of Anambra State, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, his wife despite being properly engaged as a lecturer, has never earned a kobo as salary
He regretted that even after she was promoted from Assistant Lecturer to lecturer II, they have not paid her salary.
Besides, the family was billed N19 million Naira by the Hospital.
Mr Uzodike also appealed to the federal government to pay the two years salary arrears owned to the new mother and also come to their aide as they cannot foot the hospital bills and take care of the two boys and four girls, adding that one of the girls did not make it.
Also, Mrs Uzodike, who was very weak to speak after the delivery, said “all I want is for philanthropists both in Anambra State and Nigeria at large to come to our aid in other to offset the 19 million Naira hospital bill.”
