Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!This is to wish my dear friend and brother, Robinson Erebi happy retirement life. Your contributions to the advocacy and publicity drive of the Commission will not be forgotten.
You are the quintenssential Public Affairs Officer, always at alert to get the news and diligent and eagerly disseminating information. Your passion for publicity is worthy of emulation by present and future generation of PAD officers. You are such an amiable personality, charming and always willing to help. For over three decades, you have remained committed to our friendship.
I remember vividly the love and kind gesture you extended to me way back in 1991 when I visited Port Harcourt for the 1991 Trial Census. It was our first time of meeting then but you behaved as if we had known for ages and tried your best to make my stay in the then old River State comfortable. That you are retiring at this critical time when your services are most needed is not too pleasant. We are going to miss your energy and vigour in pushing the messages of census across the globe.
We are however consoled and confident that you will continue to contribute your quota to the advocacy and publicity drive for the census. It is not yet goodbye brother and stay blessed,
