The Ibru family is a business dynasty from Agbara-Otor, near Ughelli in Delta State, Nigeria.[1][2] The family Patriarch was Chief Peter Epete Ibru, a missionary who worked for much of his life in Yorubaland. He rose to the position of nursing superintendent at Igbobi Orthopedic hospital, Lagos. His wife, Janet Omotogor Ibru, was the matriarch of the Ibru Dynasty. She was a trader and daughter of the wealthy Chief Osadjere of Olomu. The family's fortune is derived from the Ibru Organization, one of the largest conglomerates in Africa.[3] The Ibru family is one of Africa's foremost business dynasties and has also produced prominent figures in politics.[4][5] Chief Goodie Ibru is the current head of the family[6]
