Paul Ikherovba Erakhifu, fondly known as “Texas,” passed away on May 1, 2026. The Nigerian Ports Authority honoured its long-serving corporate affairs officer for his dedication, discipline and humour. Since joining the NPA in October 1994 as a junior staff on Grade Level 03, he rose through diligence and determination to Grade Level 13. A committed scholar, he earned degrees in Literature, International Relations and Mass Communication and trained at leading media institutions in London and the USA. Texas travelled extensively with NPA leadership to represent Nigeria at official engagements in Europe, America, Asia and West Africa. He authored two books and was remembered for his signature phrases “you have made my day” and “powerful,” which reflect his positive spirit.
