While awaiting his final year results as an undergraduate, Unaegbu wrote his second book, Freedom in Our Bones: the history of the Students' Union Government, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, 1960-2004.[11][12] The book was published in March 2007, the same month Unaegbu was posted to Bayelsa State for his NYSC programme.

Unaegbu's 529-paged Braving the Stars: The Biography of Pius Nwankwo Okeke, Famous Nigerian Space Scientist and Professor of Physics (co-authored with Dr. Sam Chukwu in 2014) was his fourth biography of living professors in the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.[23] Its presentation in 2014 attracted the former Deputy Senate President of Nigeria, Hon. Ike Ekweremadu and Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu.[24][25] Later, Book Authority cited its e-version as one of the five Best Nigerian Biography eBooks of All Time. [26] In 2014 also, Jeff Unaegbu and Janna Nwafor-Orizu co-authored the book, 92 Days in Power: Dr. A.A.
