His passing was confirmed by the Ibru family in a statement on Wednesday, as reported by Arise News. He was said to have died following a brief illness. Additional details surrounding his death have not been made public.

The Ibru Organisation, founded in the mid-20th century by Michael Ibru, operates across a broad range of industries, including shipping, oil and gas, real estate, and general commerce. Under Oskar Ibru’s leadership, the group maintained its strategic importance in Nigeria’s economic landscape.
Tributes have continued to pour in from across the country, with many describing Oskar Ibru as a visionary leader and a consummate gentleman.
Funeral arrangements are expected to be announced by the family in due course.
