The legendary Department of Theatre and Film Studies, University of Port Harcourt, has entered a new chapter as Dr. Ovunda Ihunwo officially handed over the leadership of the department to Dr. Edward Egbo Imo after serving two impactful years as Acting Head of Department. Reflecting on his stewardship, Dr. Ihunwo expressed gratitude to God and appreciation to the department's professors, colleagues, administrative staff, students, alumni, and friends whose support made the journey worthwhile. During his tenure, the department recorded several notable milestones, including the successful hosting of its maiden International Conference, the occupation and improvement of the new Arts Theatre, reforms in student induction, the digitalisation of student records, the introduction of a new Book of Readings, improvements in staff welfare, and the continued growth of its postgraduate programme. As he handed over to Dr. Edward Egbo Imo, Dr. Ihunwo expressed confidence in his successor's ability to build on the progress made, praying for wisdom, strength, and greater success in leading the department into a new era. For Unique Stoary, this transition is also an opportunity to appreciate Dr. Ovunda Ihunwo for the warmth, professionalism, and exceptional support he extended to our team during the 36th Combined Convocation Command Performance. His openness and willingness to work with student media contributed significantly to our coverage of one of the University's most memorable events, reflecting the collaborative spirit that has characterised his leadership. As one chapter closes and another begins, we wish Dr. Ovunda Ihunwo continued success in his future endeavours and congratulate Dr. Edward Egbo Imo on his appointment, with our best wishes for a fruitful and impactful tenure.

EDITORIAL: What Recent Campus Events Reveal About the Changing Culture of the University of Port Harcourt. There is something different about the University of Port Harcourt in recent weeks. Beyond the events themselves, there is a growing culture of participation that deserves recognition. From the Legislative Summit to the Uniport Biggest Cook-a-thon, members of the university community have continued to show up—not just students, but management, staff, alumni, and student leaders. The presence of the Vice Chancellor and other principal officers at student-led activities sends a powerful message: campus initiatives matter, and student engagement is worth supporting. One detail that has quietly become symbolic is the consistent use of Uniport water at major university events. While it may seem insignificant, it reflects an intentional effort to promote the institution's own products and identity. Institutions are strengthened when they consciously support what belongs to them. Equally noteworthy is the participation of past Students' Union Government presidents and former executives at recent events. Their attendance at the Cook-a-thon demonstrated that leadership does not end with the expiration of a tenure. It reinforces continuity, mentorship, and a shared commitment to the growth of the university community. Sporting activities have also contributed to this atmosphere. With the VC Cup currently underway, students have another opportunity to gather beyond the classroom, building friendships, healthy competition, and school spirit. Academic engagement has not been left behind. On June 26, 2026, the Tax Club, University of Port Harcourt, in collaboration with the Nigeria Revenue Service, successfully hosted its maiden tax conference at the Faculty of Law Auditorium. The conference, themed "The New Nigerian Tax Law: A Pedestal for Sustainable Economic and Business Growth," marked an important milestone for a club established only on May 7, 2024. It demonstrates that student associations are increasingly creating platforms that extend learning beyond lecture halls and connect students with national conversations. The momentum continues. On Thursday, July 2, 2026, the university community will gather once again at the Auditorium of the CBN Centre of Excellence for another landmark event themed "Sweet Mother: From Perils to Power." The lecture will be delivered by Prof. Rosemary Ogu, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, College of Health Sciences, and Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academics). Beyond the keynote lecture, the programme includes a medical outreach, red-carpet reception, and academic procession, reflecting an event that combines health advocacy, scholarship, and institutional celebration. It is yet another example of the diverse opportunities available for learning and community engagement within the university. These events may appear unrelated, but together they tell one story: the University of Port Harcourt is becoming a campus where people are willing to participate, collaborate, and invest in community life. The challenge now is consistency. One successful week of activities is commendable, but a sustained culture of engagement is what ultimately defines a university community. Every stakeholder—management, staff, student leaders, associations, and students—has a role to play in ensuring that this momentum continues. If recent events are any indication, Uniport is moving in the right direction. The task before the university community is simple: keep showing up. This piece fits well as a Campulse editorial because it offers commentary and connects several recent campus developments into one overarching theme, rather than simply reporting the events.

EDITORIAL The Beautiful Game and the Power of Purpose: A Landmark Day at Uniport. The roar of the crowd, the scent of fresh turf, and the palpable tension of a final whistle—last Friday, March 20, 2026, the University of Port Harcourt Stadium became more than just a sports arena; it was a theater of dreams. The Chief Ollor’s Football Leagues Finale wasn’t just a conclusion to a season; it was a masterclass in student engagement, community support, and the sheer, unadulterated joy of football. The "double-header" lived up to its billing, delivering two high-stakes encounters where tactical discipline outweighed reckless abandon. In the Uniport Conference League, the Young Professionals proved their name was more than a moniker. In a tight, grueling match against KIZX FC, they secured a slim but decisive 1:0 victory. The "clash of titans" promised tactical brilliance, and the Professionals delivered exactly that, locking down their defense to see the game through. The main event, the Uniport Champions League, saw the Hungry Lions face off against MCB. True to their name, the Lions displayed a predatory instinct. Despite a spirited resistance from MCB, the Lions found the back of the net to claim a 1:0 win, etching their names into the annals of Uniport sporting history. What elevated this finale was the heavy presence of University, Student Union Government, and Local Government leadership. Seeing the stadium filled to 75% capacity was a testament to the thriving sports culture on campus. The sponsor, Chief Hon. Obarilomate Ollor, Executive Chairman of Eleme LGA, didn't just provide a name for the league; he showed up. His presence, alongside the Uniport Dean of Students Affairs, Prof. C.C. Wokocha, and a robust delegation from the Uniport SUG, sent a clear message: student extracurriculars are a priority. The Uniport SUG was represented across all arms, highlighting the unified support for the tournament: - Executive Arm: Led by the SUG President, Senator Amaechi Tamunotonye Walson, and the Vice President, Comrade Etim Blessing Bassey, along with various past and present executives. - Legislative Arm: Led by the SUG Senate President, Senator Bestman Ayebaye Ilegimokuma, accompanied by a distinguished assembly of Senators. - Judicial Arm: Led by the SUG Chief Judge, Hon. Justice Dimkpa Noble La-Alenebari Lah, alongside Judges from the Judiciary. Behind the seamless execution of this sporting spectacle was the tireless work of the Uniport SUG Director of Sports, Comrade Bolarinwa David Olaniyi, and his dedicated team. It is one thing to have a vision; it is another to manifest it with such precision. Comrade Olaniyi has proven himself to be a bridge-builder, successfully securing the partnership of Chief Hon. Obarilomate Ollor. During a strategic launch by the Director of Sports, Chief Ollor underscored his commitment to youth development with a substantial #2,000,000 support—a feat that speaks volumes of the trust and credibility Olaniyi and his team have built within and outside the university community. Their ability to manage high-level stakeholders while keeping the grassroots student interest at heart is nothing short of exemplary. The organizers promised an entertainment experience, and they delivered. From the witty banter of Comedian Danny Spry and host MC Olaks, to the expert commentary of Uzzy D Good Guy, the atmosphere was electric. Musical performances by Eminonso & D4YG, coupled with the high-octane moves of Naira David, ensured that even during lulls in play, the energy never dipped. Crucially, the "vibe" was matched by impeccable organization. Branded water for every attendee and a visible security presence ensured that the massive crowd remained hydrated and safe—a logistical feat that stands as a tribute to the Director of Sports' commitment to excellence. The Chief Ollor’s Football Leagues Finale was a resounding success. It proved that when student leadership—driven by the proactive Comrade Bolarinwa David Olaniyi and his team—local government support, and raw talent converge, the result is nothing short of historic. The Hungry Lions and Young Professionals may have walked away with the trophies, but the entire Uniport community walked away with a renewed sense of pride. The bar for campus sports has been set. The question is: who will rise to meet it next year? _____________________________________________ We have a WhatsApp channel.
