Some encounters are brief, yet memorable. Our moment with Dr. Ovunda Ihunwo, the immediate past Acting Head of the Department of Theatre and Film Studies, after the 36th Combined Convocation Command Performance was one of those moments. Beyond the warmth of the exchange, we experienced a leader who was approachable, supportive, and genuinely appreciative of the role student media plays in documenting the University's biggest moments. Thank you, Dr. Ihunwo, for the kindness, the laughter, and the positive energy you shared with the Unique Stoary team. We wish you continued success as you embark on your next chapter.

End of an Era: Prof. Owunari Georgewill Presides Over Final Senate Meeting as Vice Chancellor. The 495th Meeting of the Senate of the University of Port Harcourt, held on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, at the CBN Centre of Excellence Auditorium, marked the final Senate meeting chaired by the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Owunari A. Georgewill, bringing an end to his five-year tenure at the helm of the institution.

He acknowledged that the successes recorded during his administration were the result of a collective effort, expressing gratitude to members of the Senate for their unwavering support, constructive criticism, and commitment throughout his tenure. Under his leadership, the University recorded significant strides in academic policy development, research, teaching and learning, the introduction of new programmes and faculties, successful convocations, and institutional innovations.

EDITORIAL: The Smiles We Create, The Stories We Share. There are moments that remind us why community matters. Last week, as part of our Father's Day Special, the Unique Stoary team reached out to fathers across different homes and backgrounds. We read messages sent by their children—words of appreciation, gratitude, admiration, and love. While every message was unique, one thing remained constant: the unmistakable joy in the voices of the fathers when the messages were read. Some laughed. Some became emotional. Some were momentarily speechless. In those brief conversations, we witnessed something powerful—the impact of appreciation. In a world that often moves too fast, taking a moment to celebrate those who have sacrificed, provided, guided, and protected reminded us that the simplest words can have the greatest effect. That same spirit of excellence and impact was evident at BrandForge Experience '26. The event brought together creativity, innovation, talent, and inspiration in a way that reaffirmed the immense potential that exists within our community. It was more than an event; it was a statement that young people can create, build, and inspire when given the right platform. Meanwhile, the commencement of the VC's Cup has once again brought excitement to campus life. Beyond the goals, victories, and rivalries, the competition continues to foster sportsmanship, unity, and healthy engagement among students. As a new week begins, the University of Port Harcourt community has much to anticipate. Today marks the commencement of the Free Transport Initiative organized by the Uniport SUG Senate to commemorate its 10th Legislative Summit & Anniversary. On Wednesday, June 24, 2026, by 10am attention shifts to the Faculty of Law Auditorium for the 10th Legislative Summit and Anniversary. As the Student Senate celebrates a decade of leadership and impact, the summit provides an opportunity to reflect on governance, representation, and the future of student leadership. The week continues on Friday June 26, 2026 by 10am at the Old Convocation Arena with the highly anticipated Cook-a-thon organized by the SUG Chief Judge Hon. Justice Dimkpa Noble Ka-Alenebari Lah. Beyond culinary competition, the initiative promises to showcase talent, foster interaction, and celebrate the diversity that makes our campus unique. Also on Friday, laughter takes center stage as MC Olaks hosts another edition of Friday Night Laughs at Unique Luxury Hotel by 6:00pm, offering students and residents an opportunity to unwind and enjoy quality entertainment for free. As these events unfold, one thing becomes clear: a vibrant campus is built not only by policies and structures but by people, ideas, talents, and shared experiences. From the joy of a father's voice on a phone call to the excitement of sporting competitions, leadership summits, creative showcases, and comedy nights, every moment contributes to the story of our university. And at Unique Stoary, we remain committed to telling those stories. Because every campus has events. Every community has people. But every memorable moment deserves a Stoary.

EDITORIAL: More Than a Ceremony — A Convocation Week That Reintroduced the University of Port Harcourt to the World. The 36th Combined Convocation of the University of Port Harcourt was more than an academic ceremony. It was a defining moment in the University's history—a week where excellence met legacy, innovation met tradition, and one era gracefully prepared to hand over to another. For seven memorable days, Uniport became a gathering point for scholars, alumni, policymakers, industry leaders, students, parents, and friends who came together to celebrate not just the conferment of degrees but the enduring impact of an institution that has continued to shape leaders across Nigeria and beyond. From the opening Jumat Service and Convocation Service to the final conferment of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees, every event reflected a University committed to scholarship, innovation, leadership, and service. The week also carried a deeper significance. It marked the last Convocation to be presided over by the Vice Chancellor, Professor Owunari Abraham Georgewill, whose tenure comes to an end in July, 2026. Throughout his administration, the University of Port Harcourt has continued to strengthen its reputation for academic excellence, research, infrastructure development, and institutional stability. The 36th Combined Convocation stood as a fitting culmination of a leadership defined by vision, progress, and an unwavering commitment to the University's growth. The Vice Chancellor's Media Briefing set the tone for the celebrations, highlighting the University's achievements and aspirations while reaffirming its place as one of Nigeria's leading institutions of higher learning. One of the most symbolic moments of the week was the Tree Planting Ceremony by the Best Graduating Students, Loveth Onyeguabor and Oyibo Daniel. Their act was more than ceremonial—it represented the lasting legacy that academic excellence leaves behind. As they planted trees within the University community, they also planted hope and inspiration for generations of students who will walk the same paths in pursuit of greatness. The Red Carpet and Command Performance celebrated the University's rich cultural heritage and vibrant student life, while the Vice Chancellor's Dinner honoured 120 First Class Graduands, recognizing exceptional academic achievement and reminding the community that excellence is built through discipline, consistency, and resilience. Thursday emerged as one of the defining days of Convocation Week. The Research Fair and Exhibition transformed the University Library into a showcase of discovery and innovation, highlighting decades of academic excellence and groundbreaking research capable of addressing national and global challenges. The Fireside Chat featuring Mr. Iyinoluwa Aboyeji OON —Co-Founder of Andela, Co-Founder of Flutterwave, and Founder of Future Africa—provided students and young graduates with practical insights on purpose, entrepreneurship, innovation, and life after school. His message encouraged a generation to move beyond seeking opportunities to creating them. Then history was made. In a landmark announcement, the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council, Distinguished Senator Mao Ohuabunwa, officially announced the appointment of Professor Princewill Chike as the next Vice Chancellor of the University of Port Harcourt. The timing could not have been more symbolic. As thousands of graduates prepared to leave the University's gates to make their mark on the world, the institution itself embraced new leadership to guide its next chapter. It was a powerful reminder that while students graduate, great institutions continually renew themselves, preserving their values while embracing new possibilities. -> [Check our Facebook page for full Editorial.] <- #UniqueStoary #Uniport #Stoary #Editorial #UniportConvocation2026

"Your future is quietly being shaped by what you decide to do today." Every achievement you admire started as a decision to show up one more time. The graduates celebrated during Convocation Week didn't become exceptional overnight. They attended lectures when they were tired, studied when others rested, failed and tried again, and remained committed when the results weren't immediate. Success is rarely built on one big moment. It is built on small, consistent actions repeated every single day. This Monday, don't wait for the perfect opportunity, the perfect connection, or the perfect timing. Start with what you have, where you are, and keep moving. Plant the idea. Write the proposal. Read the chapter. Make the call. Learn the skill. Launch the business. Apply for the opportunity. Remember, today's effort is tomorrow's testimony. The difference between those who dream and those who achieve is the courage to begin and the discipline to continue. So as a new week unfolds, choose progress over perfection, consistency over comfort, and purpose over procrastination. 📌 Join the Unique Stoary Community on Telegram let's have real time discussions on latest happenings and matters arising in Uniport.
