In a show of admiration and goodwill, Arogbo-Ibe Voice Reporters has joined thousands of well-wishers from across the Niger Delta and beyond to celebrate Dr. Paul Bebenimibo, the esteemed Registrar of Nigeria Maritime University (NMU), Okerenkoko, on the joyous occasion of his birthday.
Dr. Bebenimibo, widely respected for his administrative brilliance, humility, and service to education, has continued to stand out as a beacon of excellence in Nigeria’s maritime academic landscape. His leadership at NMU has been marked by institutional stability, policy innovation, and the promotion of meritocracy.
In a goodwill message jointly signed by the management and editorial board of Arogbo-Ibe Voice Reporters, the media outfit described Dr. Bebenimibo as “a distinguished administrator whose life is an embodiment of discipline, dedication, and visionary leadership.”
The message read in part:
“As you mark another year of purposeful existence, we at Arogbo-Ibe Voice Reporters celebrate your sterling contributions to the development of Nigeria Maritime University and the upliftment of the Ijaw Nation through education. Your path continues to inspire the younger generation to pursue excellence with integrity.”
The celebration has drawn accolades from the academic world, traditional leaders, youth groups, and community stakeholders, all of whom described Dr. Bebenimibo as an exemplary son of the Ijaw Nation whose intellectual capacity and people-oriented disposition have left indelible marks.
A series of tributes on social media platforms and private visits to his residence have also reflected the deep affection and respect the people have for him.
As the Registrar continues to steer the administrative affairs of NMU with uncommon professionalism, many believe his best years are still ahead.
Happy Birthday, Dr. Bebenimibo Paul
