Our Mission

Making Campus Life
More Affordable

We saw a problem — UNIPORT students spending too much on textbooks, gadgets, and hostel items that fellow students were selling for half the price on WhatsApp status. We built UNIPORT Market to fix that.

Our mission is simple: give every UNIPORT student a trusted, free, and easy-to-use platform to buy, sell, and discover deals — all within their campus community.

Our Story

How It All Started

The Problem

Students Losing Money Every Semester

Every semester, thousands of UNIPORT students bought expensive textbooks from bookshops — only to find out that students in higher levels were selling the same books for 60% less. The same problem existed for laptops, hostel furniture, and study equipment. There was no central, trusted place to connect buyers and sellers on campus.

The Solution

UNIPORT Market Was Born

A group of UNIPORT Engineering students decided to build the solution themselves. After weeks of design, coding, and testing with fellow students, UNIPORT Market launched as the first dedicated student marketplace for the University of Port Harcourt.

Today

Growing Stronger Every Day

Today, UNIPORT Market serves hundreds of active students across all faculties. Students have sold laptops, textbooks, fashion items, hostel spaces, and professional services — all within a safe, verified campus community. And we are just getting started.
