Uniport SUG Senate President, Sen. Bestman Ayebaye Ilegimokuma Breaks Silence Amid Explosive Allegations. The Office of the Senate President of the Students’ Union Government, University of Port Harcourt, under the leadership of Sen.

Uniport SUG Crisis Deepens as Senate Orders Probe Into SUG President, Removes Director of Socials. Fresh tension has erupted within the University of Port Harcourt Students’ Union Government (SUG) following a high-stakes plenary session of the 10th Students’ Representative Council (Senate), chaired by Senate President, Dist. Sen. Bestman Ayebaye Ilegimokuma. The plenary, held on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, addressed issues bordering on constitutional compliance, administrative accountability and financial stewardship within the Union. According to the official resolutions released after the sitting, the Senate announced the removal of the Director of Socials, Comrade Tamunokuro Anga Lawrence, following findings presented by an investigative panel set up by the Senate. The committee reportedly found alleged evidence of administrative and financial lapses and further accused the suspended Director of continuing to parade himself publicly as Director of Socials despite an existing Senate suspension and resolution. The report also alleged that he proceeded to organize unapproved activities and events while still under suspension. In addition, the Senate stated that Comr. Tamunokuro Lawrence failed to honour Senate summons, with the committee reportedly describing his notice of absence as “short, watery and frivolous.” Following deliberations, Senator Omanoye Victory moved a motion for his permanent removal, which was seconded by Senator James Erhuwuwu. The motion was subsequently adopted through a majority voice vote. The Senate thereafter called on the Chief Justice to affirm and swear in the in-house Chairman on Socials, Senator Otto Joshua, as the new Director of Socials. The plenary also shifted attention to concerns surrounding financial stewardship within the SUG leadership. According to the Senate, notices had earlier been sent to the Presidency, the Treasurer, the Financial Secretary and the Director of Transport. The Senate disclosed that: • The President sent a notice of absence alongside a request for one-week grace to appear before the Senate. • The Treasurer and Financial Secretary appeared before the Senate and were interrogated during the sitting. • The Director of Transport reportedly failed to honour the Senate’s invitation. Following deliberations and interrogation of available officials, the Senate stated that allegations bordering on presidential financial irregularities and breaches of constitutional provisions emerged. Consequently, the Senate leadership announced the constitution of a five-man investigative committee to probe the Executive President Senator Amaechi Tamunotonye Walson and report its findings and recommendations back to the Senate. Speaking during the plenary, Senate President Bestman Ayebaye Ilegimokuma reportedly charged Senators to remain firm in defending constitutional order and insisted that the Senate under his leadership would not be influenced externally. The Senate also explained that the plenary was moved online due to security concerns, low turnout and the presence of unidentified persons around the physical venue. The unfolding developments have since sparked widespread reactions across the Uniport student community, with many students closely monitoring what could become one of the most consequential political moments within the current SUG administration. 📌 Join the Unique Stoary Community on Telegram let's have real time discussions on latest happenings and matters arising in Uniport.

Bestman Ayebaye Desmond ILEGIMOKUMA, Senate President and Chairman, Rivers State Institute of Legislative Leaders Forum (RIVSILLF), expresses its deepest sorrow over the tragic incident that has shaken the University of Cross River State community. The loss of young, promising student leaders and the injuries sustained by others, including key members of the Students’ Union Government, is a painful reality that has touched the entire Niger Delta student movement.

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. 📌 Join the Unique Stoary Community on Telegram let's have real time discussions on latest happenings and matters arising.
