Uniport’s Ban on Faculty and Departmental Dues Sparks Mixed Reactions Among Students and Student Leaders.

A recent directive from the University of Port Harcourt Student Affairs Department prohibiting the collection of departmental and faculty dues has generated mixed reactions across the university community.

In a memorandum issued by the Dean of Student Affairs, Prof. Chima Chibuike Wokocha, the university announced that the collection of such dues by departments and faculties is now prohibited. The memo also directed that any monies already collected should be refunded immediately to avoid disciplinary actions.

The decision has been widely welcomed by many students who view it as a relief from the numerous financial demands often placed on them during the academic session. For several students, the directive is seen as a step toward reducing the financial burden associated with campus life.

However, the development has not been received with the same enthusiasm by many faculty and departmental student executives. These student leaders argue that departmental and faculty dues have traditionally served as a major source of funding for various academic and social activities. From organizing orientations, seminars, and academic events to supporting departmental programs, such dues have often been the financial backbone for student-led initiatives.

According to some executives, the prohibition may significantly limit their ability to effectively run programs and activities that benefit students within their departments and faculties.

Adding to the complexity of the situation is the directive that already collected dues should be refunded. For many departmental and faculty executives, this presents a major practical challenge. In several cases, funds realized from dues collection have already been committed to or spent on activities such as orientation programmes, departmental events, logistics, and other administrative needs. This has raised a pressing question among student leaders: how exactly will these refunds be made when the funds have already been utilized?

Interestingly, the conversation among students is not entirely one-sided. While many support the prohibition of dues, some students believe the issue requires a more balanced approach. They argue that rather than an outright ban, there should be a proper review and regulation of the charges being imposed.

Some students point out that in certain cases, non-statutory departmental or faculty-related charges have risen to unusually high amounts, with reports of some fees reaching as much as ₦70,000. For these students, the concern is less about the existence of dues and more about the lack of oversight and the excessive amounts sometimes demanded.

Ultimately, the directive has opened a wider conversation about transparency, accountability, and the financial structure of student activities within the university. While many students welcome the relief from financial pressure, student leaders worry about the sustainability of departmental programmes without these funds.

As the discussions continue across the university community, what remains clear is that the issue goes beyond simply collecting or banning dues. It touches on the broader question of how student activities should be funded, regulated, and managed in a way that protects students while still allowing departments and faculties to effectively carry out their programmes. For now, many are watching closely to see how the refund directive will be implemented and whether further clarifications will emerge in the days ahead.

THE HOLY SPIRIT VS. THE GPA: The University of Calabar Exam Scandal.
(This is one of those "only in a university" stories that perfectly balances the bizarre with a moral dilemma.)

Imagine sitting for an exam, opening the booklet, and realizing the examiner accidentally printed the answers right under the questions. That’s exactly what allegedly happened at the Unical during a Hospitality and Tourism Management exam. For over an hour, the hall was pin-drop silent as students "diligently" copied their way to a perfect score.

With only 5 minutes left on the clock, a female student stood up. She didn't ask for an extra sheet—she confessed. She told the lecturer that the Holy Spirit prompted her to speak up about the leaked answers.

The exam was immediately cancelled. Years of "academic management" vanished in seconds.

The leaked image shows the question paper (Course HTM 103) with the answers clearly typed in bold directly below each prompt.
Question: "Travel for pleasure is called _______ tourism."
Answer provided: "Leisure tourism."


Let’s Debate!
This has sparked a massive row online. Which side are you on?

A) TEAM CONSCIENCE: She did the right thing! Integrity matters more than a grade, and a degree built on lies is worthless.

B) TEAM "WHY NOW?": Why wait until 5 minutes before the end? If the Holy Spirit spoke at the start, she should have said something then before everyone wasted their energy.

C) TEAM SURVIVAL: She just "cancelled" the hard work (and luck) of her fellow students. There’s a time to be a saint and a time to just mind your business.


Would you have been the one to speak up, or would you have whispered "Amen" and kept writing?

Drop your thoughts in the comments.

EDITORIAL: Unique Stoary's One Year of Telling What Truly Matters In Uniport.

One year ago, Unique Stoary began as more than an idea—it was a conviction. A conviction that information & updates about Uniport should be accessible to all in real time. That views can be expressed honestly. That purpose is discovered not in isolation, but in community. What started as a simple space for Uniport information dissemination has grown into a living, breathing platform where people gather to reflect, learn, resolve issues and grow together.

Over the past year, Unique Stoary has become a meeting point for real voices and real journeys. Through our conversations, live sessions, shared reflections, and weekly moments like StoaryTime, BOLD Conversations, Sunday Stoary we’ve seen how stories connect hearts, spark faith, and remind us that no journey is ordinary. Each interaction has reinforced our belief that when people are given room to speak and be heard, transformation follows.

This anniversary is not just a celebration of time; it is a celebration of people. Of everyone who found us, stayed with us, shared their truths, engaged in dialogue, and believed in the vision. Unique Stoary has been shaped by its community—by your questions, your insights, your encounters, and your desire for something deeper and more meaningful.

As we mark one year, we pause to reflect—but we also look ahead with expectation. The journey continues, and there is so much more to explore, build, and become together. Here’s to growth, to shared purpose, and to many more stories that point us toward faith, meaning, and impact.

Happy One Year Anniversary, Unique Stoary.
Dear University of Port Harcourt community, the story is just beginning.

Uniport Pharmacy Students Reeling After Shocking ICT Results: 95% Failure Rate Sparks Outrage

A sense of shock and dismay has swept through the 200 Level Pharmacy program at the University of Port Harcourt (Uniport) following the release of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) exam results. The outcome was nothing short of devastating, with 129 students failing, a mere 7 passing, and not a single student achieving a distinction.

This staggering 95% failure rate has left many students feeling frustrated, confused, and wondering what went wrong. The news is made even more bitter by the fact that those who failed will have to resit the course, a move that comes with a hefty price tag of ₦10,000 per student. To add insult to injury, the students were reportedly under the impression that they could carry the course over, as stated in the handbook.

The students are now calling the situation "unfair and confusing", and many are questioning the fairness of the system. "How could this happen?" is the question on everyone's lips. The massive failure rate has sparked outrage among the student body, with many demanding answers from the university administration.

The situation has raised concerns about the quality of teaching, the effectiveness of the course materials, and the support systems in place for students. As the students prepare to resit the course, they are left wondering what the future holds and how they will move forward.

The Uniport administration has yet to comment on the situation, but one thing is certain - this shocking result has left a mark on the 200 Level Pharmacy program and will have far-reaching consequences for the students involved.

UNIPORT Lecturer Exposes Deception Behind ‘Sign-Out’ Jamborees

A lecturer at the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT), Dr. Ovunda Ihunwo, has raised alarm over what he describes as the “deceptive culture” of sign-out jamborees, warning parents to be more vigilant about their children’s true academic standing before celebrating.

In recent years, it has become common to see graduating students marking the end of examinations with “sign-out” ceremonies, often characterized by elaborate parties, designer outfits, loud music, spraying of money, and in some cases, the active participation of parents. However, Dr. Ihunwo noted that a growing number of these celebrations are misleading, as some students who participate may not have actually met their graduation requirements.

“Parents must be careful. Some of the students you see signing out are not even cleared academically,” Ihunwo cautioned. “They are deceiving themselves, their parents, and the public.”

The lecturer stressed that many students engage in sign-out events as a show of status and social pressure, even while still battling carryovers, outstanding fees, or other issues that could delay their graduation. According to him, such displays create false impressions and put parents in an awkward position when the truth eventually surfaces.

Observers say the culture of sign-out jamborees, once a simple farewell gesture among classmates, has ballooned into a social trend fueled by peer influence, social media clout, and the desire for public validation. For many families, it has become a symbol of pride, with parents sometimes funding the extravagant outings without verifying if their children are genuinely through with school.

Dr. Ihunwo urged parents to demand academic confirmation before supporting such ceremonies, while also encouraging students to focus on completing their studies with integrity rather than chasing fleeting moments of celebration.

“Graduation is a milestone that should be backed by proof of academic achievement, not just customized shirts and noise,” he emphasized.

His remarks have sparked conversations on campus and online, with some students agreeing that the sign-out craze has become excessive, while others argue that it remains an important rite of passage regardless of academic hurdles.
