Eminent pharmacist, healthcare leader, philanthropist and corporate executive, Pharm. (Dr.) Paul Osogbe Enebeli, has formally accepted his appointment as Chairman of the Advisory Board of BEL Dialogue, an audience-participatory discussion platform established by Bel Media Consult Limited.
In a letter dated June 4, 2026, addressed to the Secretary of BEL Dialogue, Enebeli described the appointment as a privilege and pledged his support toward the growth and success of the platform, which is dedicated to promoting informed public discourse on governance, leadership, development and societal advancement.
Commending the vision behind BEL Dialogue, the distinguished pharmacist said the initiative holds immense potential for fostering meaningful engagement on critical national and sub-national issues affecting citizens and communities.
“I consider this appointment a privilege and commend the vision behind BEL Dialogue in fostering informed public discourse on issues of governance, leadership, development and societal progress,” he stated in the acceptance letter.
Enebeli expressed appreciation to the management of Bel Media Consult Limited for the confidence reposed in him and assured that he would bring his extensive professional and leadership experience to bear in advancing the objectives of the platform.
“I am pleased to lend my support and experience towards the advancement of the initiative and the achievement of its objectives,” he added.
He further stated that he looked forward to working closely with the Board, management and other stakeholders to promote impactful dialogue and constructive conversations capable of contributing to national development.
His acceptance of the appointment is widely seen as a significant boost for BEL Dialogue, given his distinguished record of leadership, professional excellence and public service spanning several decades.
A towering figure in Nigeria’s healthcare sector, Enebeli is the Chairman of New Heights Pharma Limited and a former Chairman of the Board of Fellows of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN).
He is also a Fellow of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (FPSN), the highest professional honour in the pharmacy profession in the country.
His outstanding academic and professional achievements have earned him widespread recognition, including the conferment of the Doctor of Science (Honoris Causa) by the University of Benin during its 48th Convocation Ceremony in acknowledgement of his immense contributions to healthcare, education and societal development.
Enebeli is also a Fellow of the Nigeria Academy of Pharmacy (FNAPHARM), a Fellow of the West African Post-Graduate College of Pharmacists (FPCPHARM), and a Paul Harris Fellow (PHF), one of Rotary International’s most prestigious honours for exceptional humanitarian service.
Beyond the healthcare sector, he has established himself as a respected community leader and public policy advocate. He previously served as Worldwide President of the University of Benin Alumni Association and chaired the University’s Integrated Enterprises.
He also represented the South-South geopolitical zone at the 2014 National Conference and currently serves as a member of the Delta State Advisory and Peace Building Council.
As former President-General of the Ndokwa National Union (NNU), Enebeli spearheaded several humanitarian interventions, including the distribution of multi-million naira medical relief materials to communities affected by flooding.
He is also widely recognised for championing the development and integration of indigenous herbal resources into Nigeria’s formal healthcare system.
Industry stakeholders believe that his wealth of experience in healthcare administration, corporate governance, community leadership and public policy will add considerable value to BEL Dialogue as it seeks to establish itself as a leading platform for robust public engagement and solution-oriented conversations.
BEL Dialogue, an initiative of Bel Media Consult Limited, publishers of Ndokwa Reporters and The Brief, was created to provide a credible audience-participatory forum for discussions on governance, leadership, economic development, public policy and other issues of national and global importance.
The platform was formally unveiled during the 12th anniversary celebration of Ndokwa Reporters in August 2025 and has since evolved into a strategic engagement platform connecting policymakers, industry leaders, development experts and citizens.
The second edition of BEL Dialogue is scheduled for Thursday, July 30, 2026, when stakeholders from various sectors are expected to deliberate on pressing issues affecting society and national development.
