Good morning, Pitakwa! From the Brick House to the streets of Choba, here is everything you need to know today to stay ahead of the curve.
🚨 SECURITY: Our Own Tunji Disu Set to Lead the Force
It’s a big day for the "Rivers-born" spirit! President Bola Tinubu is officially swearing in Tunji Disu as the substantive Inspector-General of Police (IGP) tomorrow, Wednesday.
The Gist: Disu, who is well-known and respected in Port Harcourt for his past tactical roles, has been tasked with a "peace and security" mandate.
The Mood: PH residents are hopeful that having a man who understands our terrain at the helm will bring a fresh approach to securing the East-West road and our city streets.
🏛️ POLITICS: Budget Standoff at the Assembly
The political "wahala" between the executive and the legislature continues to simmer.
What’s Happening: The Rivers State House of Assembly is still holding its ground, barring Governor Siminalayi Fubara from presenting the 2026 Budget and the Mid-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF).
The Reason: The House insists on concluding its probe into allegations of gross misconduct.
The Bottom Line: While the big men play chess, Port Harcourt residents are watching closely to see how this affects local projects and salary flows.
⚖️ LEGAL: PH High Court Wins Big in Jurisdiction Battle
In a landmark Supreme Court ruling today, it was confirmed that the High Court of Rivers State sitting in Port Harcourt has the power to hear debt recovery cases even if the property is outside the state (like in Abia), as long as the person involved lives or does business right here in PH.
“If you do business in the Garden City, you can face the music in the Garden City!”
🎓 CAMPUS: UNIPORT in the Spotlight
University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) is buzzing today:
Lecture Alert: The 44th Valedictory Lecture is happening at 3:00 PM today at the CBT Centre of Excellence.
Direct Entry: JAMB has officially opened 2026 Direct Entry registration. If you're looking to cross over to the "Unique Uniport," now is the time to move.
💰 ECONOMY & BUSINESS: Refineries and Rents
Refinery Update: There’s a fresh push to fully privatize the Port Harcourt refinery to ensure we don't return to the days of "no fuel."
Housing Cries: The trending gist on the streets is the rising cost of rent. A viral story of a PH lady being "done dirty" by her landlord has sparked a massive debate on social media about the need for better rent control in the city.
