CHAIRMAN, Publisher of The Guardian, Dr. Alexander Uruemu Ibru has passed on. He died at about 1.30pm on Sunday, November 20, in the course of an illness. He was aged 66.
      Ibru was born on March1, 1945, the youngest of the famous Ibru brothers who hailed from Agbhara-Otor, in today’s Delta State and whose entrepreneurship made the name almost synonymous with business in Nigeria. He attended the Yaba Methodist Primary School(1951-1957), Ibadan Grammar  School(1958-1960), Igbobi College, Lagos(1960-1963) and the University of Trent (formerly Trent Polytechnic)(1967-1970) where he studied Business Economics.

After working briefly in the family business under the tutelage of his older brother and patriarch, Micheal C.O. Ibru, Alex Ibru launched out on his own and soon became one of the most successful young businessmen in the country.
     He founded The Guardian in 1983 with a mission to make it one of the five best English language newspapers in the world. It soon established itself and has since remained the flagship of the Nigerian press.
Burial arrangements will be announced soon by the family.

Try and respect the died person for a day!

A monumental loss to the print media.

Let he who has no sin cast the first stone, its amazing how people can be so insensitive. His wife did what she did and not HIM

R.I.P Sir Alex Ibru.

Does that mean that Al-Mustapha can go home like that - since there is no complainant?

Cecilia Ibru is married to Michael Ibru

wili wily or wht do u call yourself? You are a big idiot and the most stupid person that will post here. Get a life. I bet you have never been bereaved before? A prominent personality just passes away and this is all that could come out of your stinking mouth? Get some sense!!!

May his soul rest in peace. The Ibru's are a very illustrious and humble family.

RIP Alex Ibru

RIP Alex Ibru.

Guardian Newspaper used to be my best. . .

My Respect!

Still my best especially the tuesdays and thursdays editions.
(you'll understand why if you were in my shoes). Rest in perfect peace Mr Ibru.

Death is clearly the only pot from which the rich and the poor eat from. Rest in peace, Mr. Ibru.

In the end, life’s worth will be told by the depth and quality of imprints we leave behind-his was exemplary.

Rest in Peace !!!!1

Mr. Alex Ibru, may your rest in peace. For those living and rich Nigerians they shud remember that all souls are mortal and so build companies like this man instead of taking our money to foreign lands.

The same ibru family that ruined oceanic bank ? If this guy contributes to the problem of nigeria,i pray he doesnt rest in peace.

RIP - someone need not to be told to respect the dead?
