EDITORIAL: University of Port Harcourt Return to National Relevance.

The latest 2026 JAMB UTME application statistics have revealed something remarkable — the University of Port Harcourt is back in the national conversation.

After spending five consecutive years outside Nigeria’s Top 10 most preferred universities, Uniport has now emerged as the 10th most applied-to university in the country, recording 48,199 first-choice applications and securing 2.15% of the total national application share.

Leading the chart are Lagos State University, University of Lagos, Obafemi Awolowo University, University of Ibadan, University of Benin, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, University of Ilorin, University of Nigeria, and Federal University Oye-Ekiti.

This development may appear like just another statistic, but it represents something much deeper; a renewed confidence in the institution by students, parents, and stakeholders across Nigeria.

The rise suggests that Uniport’s academic environment, visibility, student culture, and institutional reputation are once again attracting national attention. It also signals that the university is gradually reclaiming its place among Nigeria’s most competitive and desirable institutions.

What makes this achievement even more significant is the consistency of older institutions that have dominated the rankings for years. Breaking into that space is not accidental; it is earned through relevance, perception, and sustained institutional appeal.

This achievement speaks volumes about the growing confidence in the university’s leadership, academic direction, and institutional visibility under the administration of Owunari Georgewill.

At a time when competition for relevance among Nigerian universities is stronger than ever, Uniport’s resurgence is a powerful statement that the institution is moving forward with purpose and renewed energy.

Interestingly, this recognition comes around the birthday season of the Vice Chancellor, making it a truly symbolic and beautiful gift — not wrapped in paper, but written boldly in national statistics.

Indeed, the numbers are speaking, and they are speaking well of Uniport.

Uniport is not just growing in numbers — it is growing in influence.

EDITORIAL: University of Port Harcourt Convocation Should Feel Like Uniport.

As the 36th Combined Convocation Ceremony of the University of Port Harcourt approaches from June 1st to June 6th, 2026, one thing is certain: Uniport is preparing to welcome thousands of graduates, parents, dignitaries, alumni and visitors back to Port Harcourt.

But beyond the gowns, speeches and certificates, there is a bigger opportunity sitting right in front of the Convocation Committee — the opportunity to make this convocation feel truly Uniport.

And what makes Uniport special? The people.

From the halls of Abuja Campus to Delta Park, Uniport has produced some of the funniest content creators, energetic hype men, talented musicians, spoken word geniuses and campus entertainers in Nigeria. This is the time to place them at the center of the celebration.

Imagine a convocation week where the atmosphere is driven by familiar campus voices and faces. Imagine MC Olaks electrifying the crowd with the kind of humor only Uniport students truly understand. Imagine Igwe of Uniport bringing his signature campus charisma into official convocation activities, creating moments that instantly go viral across social media.

Now add the smooth sounds and youthful energy of Friend Zoned performing live at convocation hangouts, dinners or after-events. Add dance crews, student DJs, fashion creatives, campus photographers, podcasters and skit makers. Suddenly, convocation becomes more than a ceremony — it becomes an experience.

Today’s university events are no longer judged only by attendance. They are judged by engagement, online conversations, memorable moments and cultural impact. The institutions winning globally understand this. They make students part of the story.

Uniport already has the talents. What remains is intentional inclusion.

The Convocation Committee, led by Professor Rosemary Ogu, DVC Academics has an opportunity to create one of the most talked-about university convocation ceremonies in Nigeria by blending academic excellence with student-driven entertainment and digital culture.

This is not about reducing the prestige of convocation. It is about modernizing the experience while preserving the prestige. The laughter, performances, content creation and social media buzz will not distract from the ceremony; they will amplify it.

Because the truth is simple:
People may remember the speeches.
But they will never forget the experience.

And if there is any university capable of turning convocation into a cultural festival, it is Uniport.

Let Uniport Convocation feel like Uniport.

EDITORIAL: Understanding the Organizational Structure and Hierarchy of a Federal University.

The comment section was buzzing last week. We posted a birthday shout-out to our Unique Chancellor, HRH Major-General (Dr.) Muhammadu Ilyasu Bashar (Rtd), and the reactions were eye-opening. Amidst the celebratory comments, a recurring question popped up: "Wait, we have a Chancellor? I thought the VC was the boss?"

For many students, the university begins and ends with their Departmental HOD or the Vice Chancellor. However, the University of Port Harcourt, same as other Federal Universities, operates under a sophisticated structure. Understanding this hierarchy isn't just for political science majors; it’s essential for every student who wants to understand how their degree is governed.

-> Level 1: The External Authority (The Visitor)
At the absolute peak of the pyramid is the Visitor.
In all Federal Universities, the Visitor is the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR. The Visitor holds the ultimate authority, appointing the Chancellor, the Pro-Chancellor, and key members of the Governing Council.

-> Level 2: The Titular & Policy Leaders
These officers represent the prestige and the legislative "backbone" of the institution.
• The Chancellor: The titular head of the University. Currently HRH Major-General (Dr.) Muhammadu Ilyasu Bashar (Rtd), the Emir of Gwandu. He takes precedence over everyone else and presides over Convocation ceremonies for the award of degrees.
• The Pro-Chancellor: The Chairman of the Governing Council, Senator Mao Arukwe Ohuabunwa. He oversees the "Board of Directors" for the school. The Council manages finances, university property, and major administrative appointments.

-> Level 3: The Executive Management (The VC & Team)
This is the "Engine Room" where daily campus life is managed.
• The Vice Chancellor: The Chief Executive and Chief Academic Officer, Professor Owunari Abraham Georgewill. He is the "Manager" of the University, directing affairs toward our vision and mission. He chairs the Senate—the body that approves your results and academic curriculum. The VC is assisted by three specialized deputies who oversee the core pillars of the university:
°° DVC (Academics): Professor Rosemary Ogu– Oversees all matters related to teaching, curriculum, and student academic progress.
°° DVC (Administration): Professor Chukwudi Onyeasor – Manages the personnel, staff welfare, and general administrative logistics of the campus.
°° DVC (Research & Development): Professor Angela Frank-Briggs – Focuses on the university’s research output, grants, and academic innovation.

-> Level 4: The Principal Officers (The Administrators)
While the VC leads, these officers ensure the specialized departments function legally and financially.
• The Registrar: Mrs. Gloria Chindah PhD. The Chief Administrative Officer and "Chief Scribe" to the Council and Senate.
• The Bursar: Dr. Godpower Obah. The Chief Financial Officer responsible for the control of all university funds.
• The University Librarian: Professor Helen Emasealu. The custodian of knowledge, coordinating all library services across the campus.

The university is more than just a collection of lecture halls; it is a structured mini-state. When we celebrate the birthday of a Chancellor or a VC, we aren't just celebrating a person—we are acknowledging the stability of the system that validates your hard work.

From the Visitor to the Principal Officers, every tier of this hierarchy exists to ensure that the Unique brand remains a beacon of excellence. Knowing who is who is the first step in truly belonging to the community.

Stay Unique.

EDITORIAL: The Grand Finale—A Legacy Blueprint for Uniport's 36th Convocation.

As the University of Port Harcourt formally inaugurates the 36th Convocation Ceremony Committee, the atmosphere across the University carries a unique weight. This is not just another academic ritual; it is a milestone moment for the institution. Most significantly, it marks the final Convocation presided over by Vice Chancellor Professor Owunari Abraham Georgewill before the conclusion of his tenure. This reality transforms the upcoming May ceremony (May 18-23, 2026) into a "Grand Finale"—a final opportunity to solidify a legacy of excellence and set a gold standard for the future.

A leader’s final outing should be defined by precision. The 36th Committee, chaired by the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic), Professor Rosemary Ogu, has these vital tasks:
1. Proper traffic management: People shouldn't be caught up in traffic gridlock on that day. Traffic should flow smoothly.
2. Convocation Booklet: The permanent record of a student’s hard work must not be a rare commodity. The committee should ensure every graduate have a copy of the brochure as access to this document is a commitment to the students' legacy and a reflection of the administration's respect for its stakeholders.
3. Spotlighting the Stars: The conferment of degrees is the headline, but the stories of our Best Graduating Students are the soul of the event. We call for a deliberate "Spotlight Series"—pre-event features that tell the stories of those who conquered the rigors of lecture halls.
4. Ceremonial Dinner: This celebration of brilliance should culminate at the Vice Chancellor’s Dinner for First Class graduates. As Professor Georgewill prepares to hand over the baton, there is no greater legacy than ensuring Uniport's finest minds are integrated into the university’s future. Offering academic paths and job opportunities to these graduates isn't just a reward; it’s a strategic investment in the "Unique UniPort" of tomorrow.
5. A Digital Frontier: In 2026, a convocation happens twice; once in the Arena and once on the screen. The synergy between the committee and the University’s official social media handles must be absolute. With this being the Vice Chancellor's valedictory convocation, the digital footprint must be impeccable; utilizing real-time updates and high-quality streaming to allow alumni and families worldwide to witness the closing chapter of this administration.
6. Timely presentation of prizes: Awardees should get their prizes as quickly as possible. There shouldn't be unnecessary delays as experienced in the past. Also those outstanding prizes from previous Convocations should be given to the awardees, it's over 2 years.

The Vice Chancellor has tasked the committee with ensuring a "seamless and memorable" ceremony. To achieve this, the University must be open to innovative collaboration. Whether through student-led media initiatives or logistical partnerships to enhance coverage and coordination, the goal is singular:
To make the 36th Convocation the most organized, prestigious, and memorable event in recent history.

To the Class of 2026, you are the final cohort of this era. To the Committee, you are the architects of a legacy. Let us make this Convocation one that honors the past and inspires the future.

PS
Dear Ma, Unique Stoary is open to being an unofficial part of the planning process especially in the aspect of Media. You can contact us via DM or send us a mail [email protected]

EDITORIAL: The Grand Finale—A Legacy Blueprint for Uniport's 36th Convocation. As the University of Port Harcourt formally inaugurates the 36th Convocation Ceremony Committee, the atmosphere across the University carries a unique weight. This is not just another academic ritual; it is a milestone moment for the institution. Most significantly, it marks the final Convocation presided over by Vice Chancellor Professor Owunari Abraham Georgewill before the conclusion of his tenure. This reality transforms the upcoming May ceremony (May 18-23, 2026) into a "Grand Finale"—a final opportunity to solidify a legacy of excellence and set a gold standard for the future. A leader’s final outing should be defined by precision. The 36th Committee, chaired by the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic), Professor Rosemary Ogu, has these vital tasks: 1. Proper traffic management: People shouldn't be caught up in traffic gridlock on that day. Traffic should flow smoothly. 2. Convocation Booklet: The permanent record of a student’s hard work must not be a rare commodity. The committee should ensure every graduate have a copy of the brochure as access to this document is a commitment to the students' legacy and a reflection of the administration's respect for its stakeholders. 3. Spotlighting the Stars: The conferment of degrees is the headline, but the stories of our Best Graduating Students are the soul of the event. We call for a deliberate "Spotlight Series"—pre-event features that tell the stories of those who conquered the rigors of lecture halls. 4.

Editorial: The Power of Direction in Defining Success.

In a world that constantly celebrates speed, noise, and visibility, it is easy to confuse motion with progress. Every day, young people are pressured to “do more,” “be more,” and “achieve faster.” But in the midst of this rush, one critical question often goes unanswered: Are we moving in the right direction?

Success is not merely about activity; it is about intentionality.

At its core, success begins with clarity—understanding what truly matters. Without this, effort becomes scattered, energy is wasted, and even achievements feel empty. Many students today find themselves overwhelmed not because they lack ambition, but because they lack direction. They chase trends, follow noise, and measure their worth by standards they did not set.

But direction changes everything.

When you identify your priorities, you gain control over your time, your energy, and ultimately, your future. Direction means choosing purpose over pressure. It means saying no to distractions that do not align with your goals. It requires discipline—the kind that keeps you focused even when motivation fades.

This is especially important in an academic environment where distractions are constant and expectations are high. Exams, social life, financial pressures, and personal growth all compete for attention. Without a clear direction, it is easy to drift. But with intention, every action becomes meaningful.

Winning, therefore, is not just about external achievements. It is about mastering the internal battles—against doubt, fear, procrastination, and emotional instability. The greatest victories are often invisible: choosing consistency over excuses, focus over distraction, and purpose over fleeting satisfaction.

As students and young professionals, the challenge is not just to succeed, but to succeed right. To build a life that is not only impressive on the outside but fulfilling on the inside.

So pause. Reflect. Identify what truly matters to you.

Then move—not randomly, but intentionally because in the end, success is not defined by how fast you move, but by how well you choose your direction.

Editorial: Uniport Exams Underway — Performance Amidst Realities.

The first semester examinations at the University of Port Harcourt, which began on Monday, March 23, 2026, are now fully in motion. Across faculties, students have already sat for several papers, marking the true intensity of this academic season.

For many, the experience so far has been a mix of preparedness, pressure, and adaptation. While some students have settled into the rhythm of exams, others are still navigating the challenges that come with it—especially some who have written their exams at Ashgrove Academy.

Reports from students who have already taken exams at the centre highlight concerns around the overall examination experience. From issues of coordination to technical issues, to the conduciveness of the environment, these firsthand accounts have fueled conversations within the student community. When students walk into an exam hall, their primary focus should be on expressing what they have studied—not adjusting to conditions that may affect their performance.

These experiences bring to light an important reality: examinations are not only about academic readiness but also about the systems that support them. While the use of external centres like Ashgrove Academy may be necessary due to the university’s population, the quality of these arrangements must be carefully monitored to ensure fairness and efficiency.

At the same time, the resilience shown by students who have already written under these conditions is commendable. Despite the distractions and discomfort, many have pressed on, demonstrating focus and determination in the face of less-than-ideal circumstances.

As exams continue, there is a clear need for attention from the appropriate authorities. Immediate adjustments—where possible—and long-term planning will go a long way in improving the experience for students still scheduled to write.

For students yet to write, the message remains steady: stay focused, prepare thoroughly, and control what you can. The exam season is as much a test of composure as it is of knowledge.

At Unique Stoary, we recognize both the effort of students and the importance of a supportive academic environment. As the semester unfolds, it is our hope that every student is given not just the opportunity to write, but the right conditions to truly perform.

We wish you all excellent success.

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?

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.

Uniport’s Ban on Faculty and Departmental Dues Sparks Mixed Reactions Among Students and Student Leaders.

A recent directive from the University of Port Harcourt Student Affairs Department prohibiting the collection of departmental and faculty dues has generated mixed reactions across the university community.

In a memorandum issued by the Dean of Student Affairs, Prof. Chima Chibuike Wokocha, the university announced that the collection of such dues by departments and faculties is now prohibited. The memo also directed that any monies already collected should be refunded immediately to avoid disciplinary actions.

The decision has been widely welcomed by many students who view it as a relief from the numerous financial demands often placed on them during the academic session. For several students, the directive is seen as a step toward reducing the financial burden associated with campus life.

However, the development has not been received with the same enthusiasm by many faculty and departmental student executives. These student leaders argue that departmental and faculty dues have traditionally served as a major source of funding for various academic and social activities. From organizing orientations, seminars, and academic events to supporting departmental programs, such dues have often been the financial backbone for student-led initiatives.

According to some executives, the prohibition may significantly limit their ability to effectively run programs and activities that benefit students within their departments and faculties.

Adding to the complexity of the situation is the directive that already collected dues should be refunded. For many departmental and faculty executives, this presents a major practical challenge. In several cases, funds realized from dues collection have already been committed to or spent on activities such as orientation programmes, departmental events, logistics, and other administrative needs. This has raised a pressing question among student leaders: how exactly will these refunds be made when the funds have already been utilized?

Interestingly, the conversation among students is not entirely one-sided. While many support the prohibition of dues, some students believe the issue requires a more balanced approach. They argue that rather than an outright ban, there should be a proper review and regulation of the charges being imposed.

Some students point out that in certain cases, non-statutory departmental or faculty-related charges have risen to unusually high amounts, with reports of some fees reaching as much as ₦70,000. For these students, the concern is less about the existence of dues and more about the lack of oversight and the excessive amounts sometimes demanded.

Ultimately, the directive has opened a wider conversation about transparency, accountability, and the financial structure of student activities within the university. While many students welcome the relief from financial pressure, student leaders worry about the sustainability of departmental programmes without these funds.

As the discussions continue across the university community, what remains clear is that the issue goes beyond simply collecting or banning dues. It touches on the broader question of how student activities should be funded, regulated, and managed in a way that protects students while still allowing departments and faculties to effectively carry out their programmes. For now, many are watching closely to see how the refund directive will be implemented and whether further clarifications will emerge in the days ahead.

EDITORIAL: Uniport Bottled Water is Back: A Refreshing Return Driven by Vision, Partnership and Impact.

The University of Port Harcourt has once again demonstrated visionary leadership and strategic foresight with the successful return of Uniport Bottled Water to the market — a milestone that marks a renewed commitment to excellence, sustainability, and community service.

In December 2025, the University Management signed a landmark partnership agreement with Giolee Global Resources Limited for the production of Unique Uniport Water, setting in motion a comprehensive plan to revitalize the University-owned water brand. Today, that strategic decision has yielded visible results, as Uniport Bottled Water confidently returns to the market, fully operational and actively meeting consumer demand.

The water is currently being distributed across the University campus and surrounding host communities, including Choba, Alakahia, and Aluu, ensuring easy access to safe, hygienic, and premium-quality drinking water. This wide distribution underscores the University’s commitment not only to serving its internal community but also to positively impacting its immediate environment.

To ensure affordability and accessibility, Uniport Water is available in both sachet and bottled formats at highly competitive rates:

* Sachet Pure Water: ₦300 per bag
* Plastic Bottled Water (75cl): ₦1,600 per pack
* Plastic Bottled Water (50cl): ₦1,450 per pack

In line with its commitment to value, the higher the quantity purchased, the greater the discount received, making Uniport Water an ideal choice for individuals, offices, events, retailers, and bulk buyers.

Orders and enquiries can be made via: 08117538283, 08129170224.

Free distribution services are available, ensuring prompt and stress-free delivery across the University campus and neighbouring communities.

With modern production facilities, advanced purification systems, and strict compliance with regulatory and quality control standards, Uniport Bottled Water is positioned to become the go-to water brand within the University community and beyond. The brand represents quality, trust, and reliability — values synonymous with the University of Port Harcourt.

As Uniport Bottled Water continues to expand its reach across campus and host communities, students, staff, residents, and stakeholders are encouraged to support and promote this homegrown brand.

Uniport Bottled Water is more than a product; it is a symbol of renewed excellence, progress, and shared prosperity.

EDITORIAL: Now That Matriculation Is Over — It’s Time to Get Serious with Academics.

With the matriculation ceremony of the University of Port Harcourt now concluded, and all registrations, orientations, and formalities behind us, a new chapter officially begins for students — especially the freshers. This phase is no longer about getting admitted, finding lecture halls, or settling into campus life. It is about focus, discipline, and academic excellence.

Examinations may still seem far away, but the truth is: exam preparation starts from the very first lecture. Every class attended, every note taken, every assignment submitted, and every tutorial participated in contributes to how prepared a student will be when exams finally arrive. Waiting until a few weeks to exams before becoming serious often leads to stress, panic, and poor performance.

For freshers, this is a crucial foundation stage. Your first-year GPA sets the tone for your entire academic journey. Starting strong gives you confidence, motivation, and flexibility. A good GPA opens doors — from scholarships and academic recognition to leadership opportunities and postgraduate prospects. On the other hand, a weak start can be difficult to recover from and may affect your academic standing throughout your stay in the university.

Now is the time to develop good study habits:

* Attend lectures consistently.
* Review your notes daily.
* Ask questions when confused.
* Form productive study groups.
* Stay organized and manage your time wisely.

Beyond reading, students must also learn to balance academics with social life. While making friends, exploring campus, and participating in activities are important, academics should remain the top priority. Uniport offers a vibrant environment, but success comes to those who can combine enjoyment with responsibility.

As the semester progresses, let every student adopt a mindset of excellence. Preparation, consistency, and discipline are the keys. Whether you are a fresher or a returning student, remember: your future is being shaped daily by the choices you make now.

Start strong. Stay focused. Aim high. Your GPA — and your future — will thank you.
