P Abereniye Atemie-Obuoforibo

March 24, 1948 - December 21, 2020

Dr. Abereniye Atemie Obuforibo, was born on March 24, 1948 in Okrika, Rivers State, Nigeria, to late Chief Atemie Obuoforibo Abipikienka and late Mrs. Edna Atemie Obuoforibo. He had his primary education at Okrika Primary School and proceeded to Okrika Grammar School, where he received his West African School Certificate. He then went to the University of Lagos to study Architecture and then proceeded to the US to complete his studies and receive a degree in Architecture at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee. His passion was with economics and he received his doctorate degree in Economics from the Milwaukee Area Technical College. He touched many lives both at work and privately he was loved. He had a goal and that was to help as many of his students excel in college. A guiding hand and a comforting shoulder to those deservingly in need. Never judging, always encouraging, with a will and a desire to make everyone else's dreams come true. When you met him you knew he was kind, loving, inspirational and happy. He never needed to be recognized, but he was definitely recognized. In his later life he became born again, loved God and became a member of the City on the Hill Chapel, Milwaukee, Wisconsin and he will be dearly missed by his family. God will take care of all he left behind as we live to always remember the lives he impacted. Abereniye, may your soul rest in perfect peace.
