A towering figure in Nigeria’s healthcare sector, Enebeli is Chairman of New Heights Pharma Limited and 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 contributions to healthcare, education and community development earned him the award of Doctor of Science (Honoris Causa) by the University of Benin during its 48th Convocation Ceremony.
Enebeli is also a Fellow of the Nigeria Academy of Pharmacy (FNAPHARM), a Fellow of the West African Postgraduate College of Pharmacists (FPCPHARM), and a Paul Harris Fellow (PHF), one of Rotary International’s most prestigious recognitions for exceptional humanitarian service.
Beyond healthcare, he has established himself as a respected community leader and public policy advocate. He served as Worldwide President of the University of Benin Alumni Association and formerly chaired the University’s Integrated Enterprises. He also represented Nigeria’s South-South geopolitical zone at the 2014 National Conference and currently serves on the Delta State Advisory and Peace Building Council.
As former President-General of the Ndokwa National Union (NNU), Enebeli championed several humanitarian initiatives, including the provision of multi-million naira medical relief materials to victims of flooding across affected communities.
He is equally renowned for advocating the development and integration of indigenous herbal resources into Nigeria’s formal healthcare system.
Observers believe that his extensive experience in healthcare administration, corporate governance, community leadership and public policy will add considerable value to BEL Dialogue as it seeks to strengthen its position as a leading platform for robust public engagement and solution-driven discussions.
BEL Dialogue, an initiative of Bel Media Consult Limited, publishers of the online news platforms Ndokwa Reporters and The Brief, was established as 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 officially 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, and is expected to bring together stakeholders to deliberate on topical issues affecting society and national development.
