Buhari mourns Ibru

President Muhammadu Buhari has extended condolences to the family of Olorogun Michael Ibru, who died on Tuesday at the age of 85.

Buhari, in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, also commiserated with the Government and people of Delta State and the Urhobos in particular on the passage of the patriarch of the Ibru family.

As they mourned the accomplished businessman, Buhari noted that Ibru’s edifying role in the corporate world and private sector in Nigeria would continue to inspire generations to come.

The President believed that deceased will be long remembered for his hard work and dedication to entrepreneurship, which opened doors of opportunities to many Nigerians and associates who came in contact with his investments in the banking, aviation, tourism and manufacturing sectors.

He urged members of his family and all who mourn Olorogun Ibru to honour his memory by constantly upholding the values of selfless-service, inter-ethnic harmony, knowledge and perseverance, which he passionately promoted through his successful career in the private sector.
