Library

The objective of the library is derived from those of its parent institution, the University of Port Harcourt.  It exists to provide books, non-book/electronic resources and ancillary services which are invaluable in extending and supporting the university’s programmes of teaching, learning and Research.

Affiliate Institutions

In 1981, an affiliation protocol was approved between the University of Port Harcourt and the then College of Education, Uyo in the old Cross River State. That protocol produced graduates in Education in 1985 (see 6th Convocation brochure) and 1986. The affiliation was terminated by the upgrade of the College of Education, Uyo to a State University in 1983 by the Administration of Dr Clement Isong. That University was named University of Cross River State (UNICROSS), Uyo. When it was taken over by the Federal Government in 1991, it became what is today known as the University of Uyo (UNIUYO). Ever since, Uniport has nurtured programmes in other affiliate institutions.

Below is a list of affiliate institutions of the University of Port Harcourt approved by the National Universities Commission (NUC).

• National Missionary Seminary of St. Paul, Gwagwalada, Abuja
• Methodists Theological institute, Umuahia
• Baptist College of Theology, Obinze, Owerri
