Prof. Udeme Owunari Georgewill Delivers Insightful Lecture on Drug Repurposing at Uniport’s 205th Inaugural Lecture Series. The 205th Inaugural Lecture Series of the University of Port Harcourt featured an intellectually stimulating presentation by Prof. Udeme Owunari Georgewill, who spoke extensively on drug repurposing for the treatment of diseases. In her lecture, Prof. Georgewill emphasized that drug repurposing significantly reduces development timelines and financial risks associated with conventional drug discovery. She described the concept as “old wine in new wineskins,” noting that re-evaluating existing drugs for new therapeutic uses encourages evidence-based, equitable, and transformative innovation. According to her, old drugs previously used for known illnesses can be re-examined and applied to treat other diseases, opening new frontiers in medical research. She further stated that effective drug repurposing will require new frameworks, new combinations, new applications, and renewed policy commitments. We congratulate Prof. Udeme Owunari Georgewill, the 205th Inaugural Lecturer, for a five-star performance and a truly impactful scholarly contribution. Prof. Udeme Owunari Georgewill is a Professor of Pharmacology(Chemotherapy), the wife of the Uniport Vice Chancellor, Prof. Owunari Georgewill and also the President of the University of Port Harcourt Women Association (UPWA). _____________________________________________ We have a WhatsApp channel.

EDITORIAL: Comfort, Community and Growth. Across campus, students are gradually finding their rhythm. Lecture halls are coming alive, pathways feel more familiar, and the initial nervousness of resumption is giving way to confidence and belonging. For many first-year students, this transition is being made easier by the presence of a more welcoming and supportive environment—one that reassures them that they are stepping into a space designed for learning, growth, and comfort. A notable highlight of this session is the renewed experience within the hostels. The recently renovated facilities have transformed student accommodation into a more conducive living environment. Improved infrastructure, better utilities, and enhanced comfort have contributed significantly to students’ well-being, allowing them to focus more on their studies and campus life. For hostel occupants, these changes are not just physical upgrades; they represent a commitment to dignity, safety, and quality student living. These renovations, sponsored by TETFund, underscore the importance of sustained investment in educational infrastructure. When students are provided with functional and comfortable spaces to live and learn, the impact goes beyond convenience—it fosters productivity, community, and a positive academic experience. As the session progresses, the campus continues to settle into a steady rhythm. Freshers are finding their place, returning students are embracing renewed facilities, and the university community moves forward with a shared sense of purpose. At Unique Stoary, we believe these moments matter, because they tell the story of progress, care, and the everyday experiences that shape student life. _____________________________________________ We have a WhatsApp channel.

A patient came to our facility today. A young girl of about 16/17 yrs, presenting with severe symptoms:headache, high fever, weakness,and shivering. She also reported having episodes of diarrhea. I wrote out the necessary investigations, and Urinalysis was one of them. After collecting her blood sample, I gave her a urine bottle to get urine. Lo and behold, this was what her urine looked like. At first, I even asked if she had mistakenly collected stool instead of urine, but on closer observation, I realized it was truly her urine. At that point, I knew something was seriously wrong and she needed urgent medical attention. For learning purposes, the appearance of this urine suggests several possible clinical conditions: 1) Hematuria / Hemoglobinuria / Myoglobinuria The reddish-brown discoloration may be due to: *Intact red blood cells (Hematuria) *Free hemoglobin from hemolysis (Hemoglobinuria) *Myoglobin from muscle breakdown (Myoglobinuria) Any of these can make urine appear dark or blood-like. 2) Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) The cloudiness and visible particles may represent: *Pus cells (pyuria) *Bacteria *Mucus *Cellular debris These findings are common in UTIs. 3) Severe Dehydration Fever and persistent diarrhea can lead to significant dehydration, causing the urine to become highly concentrated, resulting in a darker colour.

A moment of pride and celebration filled the air as the University of Port Harcourt community, distinguished guests, partners, and friends gathered to witness the grand opening and commissioning of JuliRose Hotel and Suites, located at Fubara Close, Abuja Campus, University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Commissioned on Friday 12th December 2025 by the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the University of Port Harcourt Governing Council, Senator Mao Ohuabunwa, the unveiling of JuliRose Hotel and Suites signifies far more than the launch of a world-class hospitality facility. It represents a vision fulfilled, a commitment to excellence, and a strong investment in the growth and future of the University environment. Sincere appreciation goes to the 17th Governing Council for their unwavering support in driving this milestone.

This development holds particular significance as it enriches the Uniport ecosystem—enhancing academic and professional engagements, offering new employment opportunities, and strengthening the University’s position as a hub for learning, leisure, and meaningful interaction.

UPDATE: Former Uniport Deputy Vice Chancellor, Prof. Hakeem Babatunde Fawehinmi Assumes Office As UniAbuja Vice Chancellor Despite Earlier Protests Over Eligibility. In a significant turn of events, Professor Hakeem Babatunde Fawehinmi — former Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic) of the University of Port Harcourt — has officially assumed duty as the 8th substantive Vice Chancellor of the University of Abuja on Thursday December 11, 2025 despite earlier protests challenging his eligibility. His appointment, which was approved by the University’s 11th Governing Council during its 80th Extraordinary Meeting on November 7, 2025, was initially set to take effect from February 10, 2026, for a single, non-renewable five-year tenure. However, Prof. Fawehinmi has now taken over the leadership of the institution following a formal handover from the Acting Vice Chancellor. Unique Stoary had congratulated Prof. Fawehinmi on November 11, 2025, shortly after his appointment was announced, acknowledging his academic leadership and breadth of administrative experience. But barely a month later, a coalition of academic staff — the Concerned Academic Stakeholders of the University of Abuja — publicly rejected the appointment, alleging that Prof. Fawehinmi did not possess a Ph.D., which they insisted was explicitly required in the advertised criteria for the Vice Chancellorship. According to the stakeholders, though Prof. Fawehinmi is widely respected for his scholarly contributions, professional fellowships, and administrative competence, fellowships cannot replace a doctoral degree — a long-established qualification under NUC norms. They further warned that proceeding with the appointment could raise governance and legal concerns for the institution. Despite the objections, the Governing Council has upheld its decision, and Prof. Fawehinmi has now officially resumed duties. Upon assumption of office, he pledged to strengthen academic excellence, enhance research output, promote institutional stability, and improve the student experience, emphasizing a commitment to collaboration across all sectors of the university. As reactions continue to trail this development, the university community and the wider public are watching closely to see how this new phase of leadership will shape the institution going forward. Once again, Unique Stoary congratulates Professor Hakeem Babatunde Fawehinmi on his assumption of office as the 8th Vice Chancellor of the University of Abuja. We wish him a purposeful, progressive, and impactful tenure as he takes on the enormous task of steering the university toward greater academic excellence, stability, and innovation. _____________________________________________ We have a WhatsApp channel.
