EDITORIAL: Beyond Resumption, The Questions Of Access, Accountability And Opportunity.


As the University of Port Harcourt resumes academic activities today, November 2, 2026 a new month begins with fresh expectations and important questions about the university experience.


The release of the second list of shortlisted students for the 2026/2027 hostel accommodation exercise is welcome news, but access to accommodation must go hand in hand with transparency. The SUG’s demand for a review of the physical allocation process and implementation of the approved online system raises an important question: can every eligible student access university facilities without favouritism or unnecessary barriers?


Meanwhile, the Unified Portal System (UPS) provides a central platform for school fee payments and designated student services. Students should familiarise themselves with the system and ensure their academic details are correctly verified.


The recent General Congress of the Graduate Students Association (GSA), convened by its President, Nnamdi Samuel Nwala, also provided a platform for postgraduate students to engage on issues affecting their welfare and academic experience. Such participation remains important in ensuring that student concerns are heard and addressed.


The University-wide monthly sanitation exercise held on Saturday October 31, 2026 and we look forward to a cleaner Uniport.


But university life must extend beyond lectures, accommodation and payments. Opportunities for practical learning, creativity and professional development matter too. Afro Talent Lab 2026, holding at The Vinicunca from November 20 to December 20, offers students and young talents an opportunity to develop practical skills and explore new possibilities. Registration is open.


Ultimately, a better Uniport requires more than academic progress. It demands transparent systems, responsive leadership, active student participation and opportunities that prepare students for life beyond the classroom.


The question is not just what Uniport offers, but how effectively students can access and benefit from it.

EDITORIAL | Uniport: Beyond The Headlines


Weeks after the demolition exercise at the University of Port Harcourt, the dust is yet to settle. Yet, campus life continues, with developments that shape students’ everyday experiences.


Returning students can now pay their school fees for the 2026/2027 academic session, with fees retained at the previous rate of ₦78,000. This decision by the University Management deserves appreciation, as maintaining the existing rate offers some relief amid the financial demands of university life.


The transition from the ARIS Uniport portal to the new student portal, https://ups.uniport.edu.ng, is another important development. Students can log in with their existing details, while the release of shortlisted students for hostel accommodation by the Student Affairs Department brings renewed attention to students’ housing needs and the importance of a transparent allocation process.


Away from campus administration, Unique Stoary’s visit to The Vinicunca added a creative dimension to the week. Through its partnership with Afro Talent Lab ’26, the team gained deeper insight into an initiative designed to nurture talent and open pathways for young people in the creative industry.


These developments reflect the many dimensions of university life, from infrastructure and affordability to student welfare, creativity and skills development.


As the new session unfolds, the focus must remain on building an environment where students can learn, grow and thrive. Progress is not measured by announcements alone, but by the difference decisions and opportunities make in people’s lives.

EDITORIAL: Clarity at Last—But Questions Remain on the ₦50 Million First Lady’s Award.

In recent days, the University of Port Harcourt community has witnessed renewed conversations surrounding the ₦50,000,000 donation made by the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, to support Best Graduating Female Students during the 35th Combined Convocation Ceremony.

This discussion gained momentum following our earlier publication titled:
“A Call For Transparency In The Disbursement Of The ₦50 Million First Lady’s Award To Uniport Best Graduating Female Students.”

Our concerns focused on three key issues:

1. Uneven communication to beneficiaries.
2. The disbursement of only ₦100,000 per student, which mathematically represents only 10% of the total donation even if 50 beneficiaries existed.
3. The absence of an official explanation regarding how the ₦50 million would be administered.

Shortly afterwards, a Best Graduating Female Student from the Department of Geology, Ujah Amarachi, shared her personal experience on LinkedIn. Her post read:

“Uniport has finally given me my cash prize for being a Best Graduating Female Student and I'm so happy.💃💃 … I finally received the money💃💃💃 I was paid 100K guys.”

She appreciated the First Lady and added:

“But wait oh!! I just want to ask a question.

1. Do I keep receiving 100k for 10 year.
2. Or this is a one time payment👀
You won't blame me for asking. The money given was 50Million naira. Not five but fifty😳 … Let’s be clear: I am grateful. But we all know that if ₦50 million is shared only among Best Graduating Female Students from two convocation sets … the math will not end at ₦100k per person.”

Following this, the Vice Chancellor of the University of Port Harcourt, Prof. Owunari Georgewill, responded in the comment section to clarify the structure of the award:

“Every award instituted for best graduating students is done for 10 years and it’s for best graduating students each session till 10 years. No student takes for two sessions. Next convocation, the best females will receive the award and it continues.”

This appeared to settle earlier uncertainties until further reactions on social media prompted the Vice Chancellor to comment again—this time quite directly:

“Ujah Amarachi will you stop demarketing Uniport? Which complete money are you talking about?”



Here at Unique Stoary, we appreciate the Vice Chancellor for offering clarity on the 10-year structure of the fund. This explanation was necessary, especially considering the scale of the First Lady’s donation and the initial absence of official communication.

However, clarity in funding models should naturally answer basic numerical questions.

Therefore, Unique Stoary respectfully asks just one simple question:
If each student received ₦100,000, does this mean there were 50 eligible Best Graduating Female Students?
- If yes — that resolves the matter.
- If no — then how exactly was the disbursement structure determined, and what formula guided the allocation?

Given that the First Lady’s gesture was intended to encourage and reward academic excellence, beneficiaries and the public should be able to understand how the funds are spread, the number of recipients each year, and the criteria applied.

Transparency is not antagonism.
Accountability is not demarketing.
Asking respectful questions strengthens trust, not weakens it.

We remain committed to promoting clarity, fairness, and integrity in reporting matters that affect students and the academic community.

NYSC DG Commends Gov Mbah for Raising Corps Members’ Allowances to N20,000 Minimum

...Medical Corps members now earn N40,000 to N80,000

...As Mbah pledges more support to Corps

The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps, Brig. Gen. Olakunle Oluseye Nafiu, has commended Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State for his commitment to the welfare and safety of corps members in the state, especially for increasing their monthly allowances to a minimum of N20,000.

The DG gave the commendation when he led top members of NYSC’s management on a courtesy visit to the governor’s office, Monday evening, on the sidelines of his tour of the NYSC Orientation Camp at Awgu, as well as others across the country during the orientation programme.

Before Mbah’s administration, NYSC corps members in the state earned a N1,000 monthly allowance, but the governor, upon learning about the situation, approved a minimum allowance of N80,000 for medical doctors, N50,000 for pharmacists, and N40,000 for other healthcare professionals, which they are already earning.

He equally approved a N20,000 minimum allowance for others, in addition to the allowance paid by the Federal Government.

Gen. Nafiu also commended the governor for the peace and security enjoyed by corps members in the state, noting that his visit was part of his tour of orientation camps across the country during the ongoing orientation programme for newly mobilised corps members.

He assured parents of the safety of their young ones, noting that despite a few security issues involving corps members in some parts of the country, the safety of corps members had been commendable and guaranteed.

“The NYSC does not deploy corps members to areas that are not secure. Security of lives and property is very dear to us. Parents are always reassured that we do not deploy these young, vibrant Nigerian youths, who are the hope of this great nation, to places we are not sure of the security of their lives and property,” he said.

He reiterated that NYSC remains a nonpartisan organisation, stressing also the need for good behaviour among corps members, as the corps would not lower its standards for anybody.

“I charge Nigerians to understand us; see us as nonpartisan; see us as Nigerians that are passionate about the development and aspirations of these young Nigerians that are committed to us. It is something that is really sacred to us,” he concluded.

On his part, Governor Peter Mbah pledged the continued support of his administration for the NYSC and corps members serving in the state.

While recalling the place of Enugu State in the Corps’ history, including the Corps’ first orientation camp, which was established in Awgu in 1973, the governor said his administration had taken steps towards the infrastructural revamp of the NYSC camp in the state.

“Awgu is also quite symbolic for us too as a people because, if you recall, that was actually a centre where we talked about the concept of Reconciliation, Rehabilitation, and Reconstruction – 3 Rs – immediately after the civil war.

“So, for us, in trying to rehabilitate that location now, we want to bring back that historic importance. We have also done quite a number of interventions for the NYSC, which you have pointed out. We are going to continue to support the service.

“We see it as a duty on our part to continue to support both the welfare and the safety of the corps members. We believe that the safety of the corps members at all times is paramount to us,” he stated.

He thanked the corps for its many contributions to Enugu State’s and the nation’s development, noting that NYSC had served as an enduring bridge that links young Nigerians across culture, across faith, across regions and, indeed, as a channel to deepen their love for fatherland.

“We derive benefit from the NYSC – the intervention we get from the corps members, who go to our schools to teach, our hospitals to work, and even contribute to our water, sanitation and hygiene programmes in our rural communities. These contributions are not lost on us, and we do not take those services for granted,” Mbah concluded….2moro iz here
