Editorial: A New Era of Action — Uniport SUG Executives Hit the Ground Running. The University of Port Harcourt Students’ Union Government, led by Senator Amaechi Walson Tamunotonye, continues to demonstrate that true leadership is defined by action. From day one, this administration has shown commendable urgency — responding to student needs, strengthening engagement, and ensuring visible presence across key issues affecting the Uniport community. A notable highlight of this momentum is the proactive stance of the Students’ Judiciary Council, which has formally announced that all channels for student complaints, reports, and suggestions are now fully open and operational. This includes matters concerning welfare, academics, misconduct, or rights violations. By guaranteeing confidentiality, impartiality, and adherence to due process, the Council reinforces the administration’s commitment to transparency and justice. This seamless coordination between the executive arm and the judiciary reflects a refreshing era in Uniport’s student governance — one where structures are active, accessible, and responsive. Senator Amaechi Walson Tamunotonye’s team is not only hitting the ground running; they are building a culture where student concerns are heard and addressed through the right channels. As the new administration continues to create impact, we at Unique Stoary commend their early strides and encourage them to sustain this spirit of service. A stronger, more accountable student leadership is clearly unfolding — and Uniport students stand to benefit the most. _____________________________________________ We have a WhatsApp channel.

The Weight We Carry as Medical Students. Sometimes I wish people understood that studying Medicine is more than wearing a lab coat or carrying a stethoscope. It is a journey that constantly threatens to break you — not just academically, but emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. As a medical student, your entire future can hang on one exam — MBBS. One. Single. Exam. People say, “Just read, you’ll pass,” but they don’t understand the fear that crawls into your lungs when you’re studying at 2am, fighting sleep with coffee and tears, because you’re afraid of what happens if you fail. Because in Medicine, failure isn’t just failure. It is rejection. Repetition. Reset. While other students retake a course and move forward, medical students are told: “You didn’t pass. Start again.” Do you know what it feels like to watch your mates move ahead while you go back to the beginning? To sit in a class where you’re now the “older one”? To pretend you’re okay while battling shame, disappointment, and the feeling that maybe you’re not good enough to save lives? It’s emotional torture. You study harder than you’ve ever studied in your life, with a level of fear that no one prepares you for. And even when you pass, the relief doesn’t feel like victory — it feels like survival. Like you escaped something designed to swallow you whole. People see our white coats. They don’t see the panic attacks, the self-doubt, the nights we whisper prayers through trembling lips: “God, please don’t let this be the end for me.” Every MBBS stage feels like standing at the edge of a cliff — one wrong step and the whole journey restarts. And somehow, we are expected to be strong. To smile. To keep going. But the truth is, many of us are tired. Not because we don’t love Medicine, but because Medicine demands pieces of us we didn’t know we could give. Still… we push. We fight. We hope. Because we believe that one day, all this pain, pressure, and emotional weight will turn into purpose — and into the lives we will save. Until then, we carry on. Not because we’re strong… But because we refuse to give up on the dream.

Editorial: Pre-resumption Registration for Freshers Continues. The pre-resumption registration exercise, which kicked off last week Monday, enters a new week — and with it comes another opportunity for freshers, to get ahead of the process. At Unique Stoary, we’ve closely followed the unfolding activities across the university, and one thing remains clear: early preparation is no longer optional — it’s essential. Pre-resumption registration isn’t just another routine requirement; it is the first step in settling into campus life with ease, clarity, and confidence. For many new students, this period can feel overwhelming — moving between faculties, verifying documents, understanding procedures, and dealing with inevitable queues. But this is exactly why starting early matters. The earlier you complete your registration, the smoother the rest of your academic journey becomes. No last-minute rush. No uncertainty. No missing out on key information. As the week begins, we encourage every student — especially those who are yet to begin — to use these coming days wisely. Seek guidance, ask questions, follow official instructions, and take each step seriously. Your registration today sets the foundation for your success tomorrow. At Unique Stoary, we will continue to spotlight the process, share updates, listen to student experiences, and ensure the voices of the campus community are heard. Stay informed. Stay prepared. And above all — stay ahead. _____________________________________________ We have a WhatsApp channel.

Editorial: A New Academic Journey Begins — Let It Begin Right. For the thousands joining the Uniport community today, this registration window is their first step into a world of growth, opportunity, and discovery. Uniport owes them a process that reflects the values it claims to uphold. Uniport has always prided itself on being a centre of excellence, but excellence isn’t built on academic strength alone — it relies on systems, structures, and transparent processes that make the student experience smooth from Day One. As registration begins today, Unique Stoary calls on the university management to ensure that: 1. Information is Clear and Accessible. Freshers depend on correct and timely communication. Registration steps, required documents, fees, portal procedures, and departmental guidelines must be clearly stated and regularly updated. Confusion is avoidable when information flows. 2. Digital Processes Are Stable and Reliable. Uniport’s online portals must be ready for the surge in traffic. Technical downtime or inconsistent access has historically slowed down registration for many students. This season must be different — smoother, faster, and student-friendly. 3. Physical Units Provide Efficient Support. From Admissions to ICT to Faculties, support desks must be responsive. Freshers are interacting with these systems for the first time. Their first impression of the institution depends heavily on how the process treats them. 4. The University Addresses Campus Environment Concerns While registration begins today, concerns about the state of hostels and readiness for full resumption remain. Students want assurance that accommodation, welfare facilities, and basic infrastructure will be ready by the time the academic session fully kicks off. 5. The Exercise Remains Corruption-Free Freshers are vulnerable. Exploitation — whether through unofficial payments or misinformation — must be actively discouraged. Oversight should be strong. Unique Stoary will continue to monitor developments, amplify student experiences, and advocate for a system that works for everyone. Welcome to a new chapter. And to freshers — your Uniport journey starts today. Make it count. _____________________________________________ We have a WhatsApp channel.
