Editorial: Uniport Exams Underway — Performance Amidst Realities. The first semester examinations at the University of Port Harcourt, which began on Monday, March 23, 2026, are now fully in motion. Across faculties, students have already sat for several papers, marking the true intensity of this academic season. For many, the experience so far has been a mix of preparedness, pressure, and adaptation. While some students have settled into the rhythm of exams, others are still navigating the challenges that come with it—especially some who have written their exams at Ashgrove Academy. Reports from students who have already taken exams at the centre highlight concerns around the overall examination experience. From issues of coordination to technical issues, to the conduciveness of the environment, these firsthand accounts have fueled conversations within the student community. When students walk into an exam hall, their primary focus should be on expressing what they have studied—not adjusting to conditions that may affect their performance. These experiences bring to light an important reality: examinations are not only about academic readiness but also about the systems that support them. While the use of external centres like Ashgrove Academy may be necessary due to the university’s population, the quality of these arrangements must be carefully monitored to ensure fairness and efficiency. At the same time, the resilience shown by students who have already written under these conditions is commendable. Despite the distractions and discomfort, many have pressed on, demonstrating focus and determination in the face of less-than-ideal circumstances. As exams continue, there is a clear need for attention from the appropriate authorities. Immediate adjustments—where possible—and long-term planning will go a long way in improving the experience for students still scheduled to write. For students yet to write, the message remains steady: stay focused, prepare thoroughly, and control what you can. The exam season is as much a test of composure as it is of knowledge. At Unique Stoary, we recognize both the effort of students and the importance of a supportive academic environment. As the semester unfolds, it is our hope that every student is given not just the opportunity to write, but the right conditions to truly perform. We wish you all excellent success. 📌 Join the Unique Stoary Community on Telegram let's have real time discussions on latest happenings and matters arising.

EDITORIAL The Beautiful Game and the Power of Purpose: A Landmark Day at Uniport. The roar of the crowd, the scent of fresh turf, and the palpable tension of a final whistle—last Friday, March 20, 2026, the University of Port Harcourt Stadium became more than just a sports arena; it was a theater of dreams. The Chief Ollor’s Football Leagues Finale wasn’t just a conclusion to a season; it was a masterclass in student engagement, community support, and the sheer, unadulterated joy of football. The "double-header" lived up to its billing, delivering two high-stakes encounters where tactical discipline outweighed reckless abandon. In the Uniport Conference League, the Young Professionals proved their name was more than a moniker. In a tight, grueling match against KIZX FC, they secured a slim but decisive 1:0 victory. The "clash of titans" promised tactical brilliance, and the Professionals delivered exactly that, locking down their defense to see the game through. The main event, the Uniport Champions League, saw the Hungry Lions face off against MCB. True to their name, the Lions displayed a predatory instinct. Despite a spirited resistance from MCB, the Lions found the back of the net to claim a 1:0 win, etching their names into the annals of Uniport sporting history. What elevated this finale was the heavy presence of University, Student Union Government, and Local Government leadership. Seeing the stadium filled to 75% capacity was a testament to the thriving sports culture on campus. The sponsor, Chief Hon. Obarilomate Ollor, Executive Chairman of Eleme LGA, didn't just provide a name for the league; he showed up. His presence, alongside the Uniport Dean of Students Affairs, Prof. C.C. Wokocha, and a robust delegation from the Uniport SUG, sent a clear message: student extracurriculars are a priority. The Uniport SUG was represented across all arms, highlighting the unified support for the tournament: - Executive Arm: Led by the SUG President, Senator Amaechi Tamunotonye Walson, and the Vice President, Comrade Etim Blessing Bassey, along with various past and present executives. - Legislative Arm: Led by the SUG Senate President, Senator Bestman Ayebaye Ilegimokuma, accompanied by a distinguished assembly of Senators. - Judicial Arm: Led by the SUG Chief Judge, Hon. Justice Dimkpa Noble La-Alenebari Lah, alongside Judges from the Judiciary. Behind the seamless execution of this sporting spectacle was the tireless work of the Uniport SUG Director of Sports, Comrade Bolarinwa David Olaniyi, and his dedicated team. It is one thing to have a vision; it is another to manifest it with such precision. Comrade Olaniyi has proven himself to be a bridge-builder, successfully securing the partnership of Chief Hon. Obarilomate Ollor. During a strategic launch by the Director of Sports, Chief Ollor underscored his commitment to youth development with a substantial #2,000,000 support—a feat that speaks volumes of the trust and credibility Olaniyi and his team have built within and outside the university community. Their ability to manage high-level stakeholders while keeping the grassroots student interest at heart is nothing short of exemplary. The organizers promised an entertainment experience, and they delivered. From the witty banter of Comedian Danny Spry and host MC Olaks, to the expert commentary of Uzzy D Good Guy, the atmosphere was electric. Musical performances by Eminonso & D4YG, coupled with the high-octane moves of Naira David, ensured that even during lulls in play, the energy never dipped. Crucially, the "vibe" was matched by impeccable organization. Branded water for every attendee and a visible security presence ensured that the massive crowd remained hydrated and safe—a logistical feat that stands as a tribute to the Director of Sports' commitment to excellence. The Chief Ollor’s Football Leagues Finale was a resounding success. It proved that when student leadership—driven by the proactive Comrade Bolarinwa David Olaniyi and his team—local government support, and raw talent converge, the result is nothing short of historic. The Hungry Lions and Young Professionals may have walked away with the trophies, but the entire Uniport community walked away with a renewed sense of pride. The bar for campus sports has been set. The question is: who will rise to meet it next year? _____________________________________________ We have a WhatsApp channel.

EDITORIAL: The Power of Content Creators in Uniport — Personal & Departmental. In today’s digital age, content creation has moved beyond entertainment — it has become a powerful tool for communication, branding, education, and community building. Within the University of Port Harcourt, content creators (both personal and departmental) are redefining how stories are told, especially across social platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. From skit makers, videographers, designers, writers, photographers, podcasters, to social media managers, Uniport is home to a growing network of creative minds using these platforms to document campus life, promote events, share academic updates, and highlight student culture. Through reels, short videos, livestreams, stories, and posts, these creators are shaping the digital identity of Uniport daily. 📍The Benefits to the University. 1. Increased Visibility & Branding: With the massive reach of TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, student creators help project Uniport’s culture, excellence, and vibrancy to audiences far beyond the campus. Viral content, engaging reels, and trending formats boost the school’s online presence and brand appeal. 2. Fast & Effective Information Dissemination: Departmental pages and student platforms use these social media channels to quickly circulate announcements, academic updates, timetables, events, and opportunities — ensuring information reaches students in real time. 3. Stronger Student Engagement: Interactive content such as reels, polls, live sessions, challenges, and stories fosters connection, participation, and unity among students, making campus life more engaging and inclusive. 4. Talent Development & Digital Skills: Through content creation, students gain practical experience in videography, editing, digital marketing, storytelling, branding, and analytics — skills highly relevant in today’s job market. 5. Digital Documentation & Legacy: Social media serves as a living archive of Uniport’s academic journey, student achievements, cultural moments, and memorable events. 📍How Uniport Can Better Utilize Content Creators & Social Platforms. 1. Strategic Digital Partnerships: The university management, faculties, departments, and student bodies can collaborate with trusted creators to produce official content for orientations, matriculations, convocations, seminars, competitions, and major campus events. 2. Structured Departmental Media Teams: Each department and faculty can establish dedicated media teams to manage their TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook pages for consistent communication and branding. 3. Training, Workshops & Media Bootcamps: Regular training sessions can equip students with advanced skills in content strategy, storytelling, editing, platform algorithms, ethical media use, and digital professionalism. 4. Recognition, Incentives & Support: Providing awards, certificates, media grants, equipment support, and official recognition will motivate creators and encourage higher-quality content production. 5. Centralized Digital Communication Strategy: Uniport can develop a unified digital media framework that integrates student creators into its official communication channels, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and professionalism. Content creators in Uniport are more than entertainers — they are digital storytellers, brand ambassadors, and community builders. Through platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, they amplify campus voices, promote student excellence, and connect Uniport to the global digital space. At Unique Stoary, we believe in authentic storytelling and purposeful content. When empowered and properly integrated, Uniport’s content creators can transform campus communication and redefine the university’s digital identity. 🖼️ TikTok: andrew_talker1 (Igwe of Uniport) _____________________________________________ We have a WhatsApp channel.

Uniport Vice Chancellor, Prof. Owunari Georgewill Honoured as Uniport SUG Presidents Organise Historic Symposium. History was made on Thursday February 12, 2026 at the University of Port Harcourt as the current President and four former Presidents of the Students Union Government (SUG) came together to organise a one-day symposium titled “From Agitations to Negotiation.” The symposium was organised as the Vice Chancellor gradually approaches the end of his tenure in July 2026, with his modest yet impactful contributions to student matters within the University highlighted and celebrated. The event was described as deeply humbling, marking a rare moment of unity and appreciation from successive student leadership. Prof. Owunari Georgewill expressed heartfelt gratitude to the current and former SUG Presidents, as well as the entire Nigerian student community, for the honour bestowed on him. The event, which held in honour of the Vice Chancellor, was organised by Comrade Ubabuike C. Gift (2021/2022), Comrade Dickson D. Senibo (2022/2023), Sen. Okpara Martins A. (2023/2024), Rt. Hon. Harmony Lawrence (2024/2025), alongside the current SUG President, Sen. Amaechi Walson Tamunotonye. This stands as a historic milestone in Uniport, reinforcing the spirit of dialogue, collaboration, and constructive engagement between students and university management. _____________________________________________ 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.

It was also funny to the point that we talked about the history of computers, what our forefathers went through before we got to the stage where we are now. I showed them AI, too. Funny how most of them don't even know what AI is. We talked about ChatGPT, Gemini, and other AI tools. We even got to practice in the class. It was an interesting class. Other classes, we were peeping to see, because it was like—it was more of an interaction. We laughed. We answered questions. Some students won some money from me because of the correct answers they gave. We gingered others. It was kind of funny, but I really did enjoy it. Even at a point, I got so tired, because I had to teach like three classes. But nevertheless, it was fun. And that was the highlight of my day as a CORPER teacher. Oh, I'm so happy too, I scheduled my content today, we had about 9–10 content, which was fun, so my day was pretty productive. What about you? How was your day?

“The Children Who Try Too Hard” Some children are not asking for attention. They are asking for relief. They try so hard to be “good.” They try so hard not to stress anyone. They try so hard to hide their tears. They try so hard to keep up — even when school drains them. If you look closely, you’ll see it… Their eyes always searching. Their shoulders always tight. Their smile always too quick. These children don’t explode. They fold. Quietly. This holiday, check on them too. Ask gentle questions. Offer soft spaces. Give room for rest. And remind them… They don’t have to earn love with perfection. Because the children who try too hard are often the ones who feel unseen the most. 💛 If you are a parent, sibling, caregiver or teacher— look out for them this season. If you find our educational contents valuable, then follow us for an amazing ride. 📌I am putting together an eBook that highlights psychological challenges school children face and the way forward, make sure you grab a copy to keep you ready to handle any child especially when school resumes. I'm rooting for you and your children 🌹 #Cikamo

Prof. Fawehinmi is scheduled to assume office on 10th February 2026 for a non-renewable five-year tenure. Unique Stoary had earlier congratulated Prof. Fawehinmi on his appointment on November 11, 2025, highlighting his academic leadership and experience. However, barely a month after the announcement, a coalition of academic staff under the banner of the Concerned Academic Stakeholders of the University of Abuja formally rejected the appointment, alleging that Prof. Fawehinmi does not possess a Ph.D., which they insist was a mandatory requirement clearly stated in the advertised criteria for the Vice Chancellorship. According to the protesting academics, the job advertisement explicitly required candidates to hold a doctoral degree, reflecting long-established norms of the National Universities Commission (NUC). While Prof. Fawehinmi is widely respected for his academic leadership, distinguished scholarship, and professional fellowships, the group argues that fellowships cannot substitute for a Ph.D. when assessing eligibility for the office of Vice Chancellor. They warn that proceeding with the appointment despite this alleged breach could create legal, procedural, and governance challenges for the institution. The stakeholders are urging the Governing Council to review the appointment or consider the next fully qualified candidate on the shortlist to safeguard the university’s credibility. As the tension builds, the academic community is closely following how the Council will respond to these concerns ahead of the February 2026 resumption date. Unique Stoary will continue to track this unfolding story and provide verified updates. _____________________________________________ We have a WhatsApp channel.
