The remains of late Comrade Billy Graham Oroh, the erstwhile President of the then- Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) Workers Union who died recently, is to be buried in the first week of December.
 Already, a burial committee has been constituted by friends and close associates of the late unionist.
Coordinator of the burial committee, who is also an ex-employee  of NPA and a childhood friend of the deceased; Mr Paul Obire told Shipping Position Daily exclusively in Warri, Delta state last week that the committee will put together a befitting burial for the late unionist.
Disclosing that details of the programme were still being worked on, he lamented that despite fact that Oroh died some weeks back, many members of the port community are unaware of this.
“Can you imagine that some NPA workers in Warri port where Oroh started out as a unionist and where he gave his all, are not even aware that such a great man is dead”, he wondered.
Giving a snippet of what the burial would look like, he told our correspondent that a ‘all stars’  football match is being planned as part of the programme, because according to him, the deceased NPA workers’ union icon actually started out as a footballer before a became a unionist.
Oroh was a footballer and a coach, he even played for the famous Warri Wolves, Mr Paul Ebiri, who himself played football alongside late Oroh and also graduated into being a coach, told Shipping Position Daily last week.
