Guardian Newspaper Announces Alex Ibru's Death

The passing on of Alexander Uruemu Ibru, Chairman and Publisher of THE GUARDIAN, flagship of the Nigeria press has been announced. He died at about 1.30pm today, November 20 while 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.

Ibru is the Chairman of Trinity Foundation, the vehicle through which he did his massive philanthropy, giving support to the poor and the needy. He was also the founder of the Ibru Centre which promotes ecumenism and religious harmony.

Alex Ibru is a Paul Harris Fellow of the Rotary Club International. He was minister of Internal Affairs of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and member of the highest Provisional Ruling Council. PRC,from 1993 to 1995. As minister, he introduced far-reaching reforms in the management of Nigeria’s prisons and the Immigration Service.

He left the Sani Abacha-led government on principle, after which an attempt was made on his life, allegedly on the orders of the ruling junta. The case on that attempted murder is still in court.
He is a recipient of D.Litt honoris causa of the University of Port Harcourt.

A man extremely passionate about Nigeria and a compassionate promoter of joy of humanity, Ibru’s philanthropy, his outstanding entrepreneurship, contributions to the development of the mass media in Nigeria and commitment to selfless service stood him out all through his life.
Burial arrangements will be announced soon by the family

Happy birthday

Osun central and osun west are predominately muslims, verify it. Osun east is where there's more christain. Confirm it. Do you expect us to believe the picture propaganda you posted?

cluelessness

This aloy is not ready to learn and i see her as a jester, talking for talking sake. Have she ever been to Osun State before, Saying there are more christain population in Osun. Moreover, what has wearing hijab got to do with hindering of teaching? this is a case of over zealous school administrators as Ola said. the 'people of the book' have a way of using the media to cause havoc, mayhem among the people. Aloy is a good example of them.

If a prof can be so cover with myopic issue, i don;t know what he will teach his students

bin, trust me now, i have only one ID, have not been frequent here for some time now. maybe na wetin you dey do be that

mallamholy:
gov babangida aliyu of niger state, a good orator, but just as d poster said, oratory skills is not = excellent performance. i[b]f u travel bida - mokwa road, u will get

what i'm saying better

those roads are federal roads now

Bin, where is your friend Mizuk

Some dudes will just post for posting sake, hiding under their mamas bed to incite and cause havoc. Come up north and see for your self.

If na BEAF post am, I no believe am.

integrity crises. What a pity.

He'll feel the pulse of the people and not the lie that is peddle by his avalance of aide

Bukola is always articulate and intelligent, but he's no longer a governor. He's now senator.

it seems Fashola is having a field day here, Just thinking there should be a course FAS101 for all future prospective governors, they should learn what governance should be.

lagerwhenindoubt:
They must be yoruba muslims -

they must be yoruba christain.

I Listen to the kwara State governor speak some week back, he's also articulate and flows easily.

that is what the CJN is saying, there is no justice serve in plea bargaining. in the word of justice Kayode Esho (Retired JSC) " Justice is not one way, 2 way traffic but three ways- Justice to the plantif, defendant and society" in the case of plea bargaining, justice is not done to the society

Sweet, why do you send frosbel away, my questions are still waiting for him to answer, he has been dodging it.

I hope CJN will be able to clear the mess left behind by Katsina-Alu. Good one there

Why is BRF not on the list, i think he merit a medal too.

But let's give it to the nigeria graduate, inspite of all the challenges they still struggle to make the little they have. All hail the 9ja spirit

Just as it was then, so it is now. Nigeria, we go ever learn?

@olawalebab

From available report, Bayelsa state is the worst state in term of development. With all their natural resources.

Bin, outside the jokes section, i believe you are serious guy. Nobody is crucifying you but your signature is causing you problem.

This is a good topic you have raise, what i see to it is that most muslim do not know how to pray, be it in English or Arabic. We need to start grooming our younger one on this. You will be surprise at the way some people pray in a gathering. May Allah make it right for us.

A 2 1 in federal universities will outshine a 1 1 in any private university. That's the plain truth. Moreover, look at the percentage and not the absolute figure. 75 to1647 compare with 85 to less than 1000. The difference is clear

This same scenerio play out during the 50th anniversary, when 50 Nigerian were honour, when we go learn our lessons for this country

It is better to have a rascal at the helms of affairs than having a drunken fishermen. (clueless)
