Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has expressed deep sorrow over the death of prominent Urhobo son, businessman and philanthropist, Olorogun Oscar Ibru, describing his passing as a monumental loss to the Urhobo nation and Nigeria at large.

Governor Oborevwori in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Sir Festus Ahon, in Asaba, commiserated with the Ibru family of Agbarha-Otor, the people of Delta State, and the Urhobo nation on the demise of the respected industrialist.

Oborevwori said Olorogun Ibru, scion of the Michael Ibru dynasty, lived a life of service, industry, and philanthropy, adding that his immense contributions to commerce, hospitality, and social development would remain indelible.

He recalled that Oscar Ibru, through the Ibru Organisation, helped to build strong economic institutions, provided employment opportunities for thousands, and supported community development across Delta State and Nigeria.

“On behalf of the government and people of Delta State, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the Ibru family, the Urhobo nation, and indeed Nigerians on the passing of Olorogun Oscar Ibru.

“He was a remarkable son of Delta who distinguished himself in business and philanthropy, and his demise is a great loss not only to his family and the Urhobo nation but to our entire state and country,” the Governor stated.

Oborevwori prayed for the repose of the soul of the deceased and urged the Ibru family to take solace in the enduring legacy of love, generosity, and enterprise he left behind.
