By Adedapo Adesanya

Nigerian billionaire businessman and industrialist, Mr Oskar Ibru, has died at the age of 67.

Mr Ibru, who was a central figure in Nigeria’s corporate landscape, reportedly passed on after a brief illness, according to his family.

Further details were not provided as of the time of this report.

The development comes years after the passing of the patriarch of the family, Mr Michael Ibru, in 2016.

He played a pivotal role in sustaining and expanding the vast family conglomerate established by his late father with key interests spanning shipping, oil and gas, real estate, and commerce.

Regarded as both a visionary businessman and custodian of his family’s legacy, the late Ibru progeny carried forward the entrepreneurial spirit that made the Ibru Organisation one of Nigeria’s most recognisable corporate brands.

Under his leadership, the group not only remained a source of jobs and wealth creation but also supported philanthropic and cultural initiatives.

Funeral arrangements are expected to be announced in the coming days.
