Anozie A. Ozumba ’66

Ano died Aug. 25, 2025, in his native Nigeria.

He joined our class as a sophomore in 1963 after graduating from the Government College in Umuahia, Nigeria, where he ran cross country and was house captain and president of the photography club.

At Princeton, he majored in electrical engineering, joined Dial Lodge, worked on The Princeton Engineer, belonged to the International Students Organization, and was vice president of the Pan African Students Organization.

Ano earned a Ph.D. in computer science at Rutgers, where he met Michele Ann Hudgins (Douglass ’73), whom he married. He began his career in the IT department of First National Bank of Central Jersey. In 1982, he and his family moved to Nigeria, where he was appointed professor of computer science at Anambra State University of Technology. In 1985, the family returned to the U.S., where he rejoined First National Bank in Somerville, N.J. In 1991, he again returned to Nigeria and established Superior Computer Services.

Ano is survived by Michele; son Njikoka; and daughters Obiageli and Adora, to all of whom the class extends its condolences.
