The Student Affairs Unit (now Directorate of Student Affairs) has long existed in the Rivers State University, Nkpolu-Oroworukwo, Port Harcourt. The aim of this Unit has been to cater for the welfare and wellbeing of the students at all times; including student relations which is more volatile than staff matters. This implies that any failure to promptly attend to their complaints could lead to crisis in the University. This, no doubt, underscores the significanceof the Directorate of Student Affairs in the University. The Directorate is as old as the Establishment Unit of the University. It was initially a Unit under the Registry until 1983. Now it is part of the office of the Vice Chancellor.
