Port Harcourt, the largest city and capital of Rivers State, Nigeria, ranks fifth in terms of population in the country.

Known as "Ígwúóchán" in the Ikwerre language, Port Harcourt was founded in 1912 initially as a coal export port. However, the discovery of oil in the late '50s pivoted the city's economy, transforming it into a thriving petroleum hub with heavyweights like Shell and Chevron establishing their presence.

The city hosts several public and private tertiary institutions and boasts extensive transport connections, including the Port Harcourt International Airport.
