The Guardian Publisher, Alex Ibru Dies At 66 by bovy: 5:39pm On Nov 20, 2011 |
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. : http://www./2011/11/guardian-publisher-alex-ibru-dies-at-66.html#ixzz1eGSNJGui

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. |
