Abel Omoruyi, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of popular transport company, Iyare Motors has been confirmed dead.
Omoruyi reportedly died on Friday night. Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State, in a statement on Saturday, said Omoruyi would be sorely missed by the people of the state.
The popular transport company which operates all over the country, is headquartered in Benin City, Edo State.
Obaseki described the late businessman as a “thoroughbred businessman and philanthropist extraordinaire” who was a rallying point for the advancement of the transport sector in Edo State and Nigeria.
“He was a visionary, beacon of hope, and a rare breed of leader who epitomized the very best of the human spirit. His unwavering commitment to excellence, doggedness, and penchant for innovation will remain a shining example for generations to come,” he said.
In 2014, the wife and daughter of the businessman were abducted by gunmen.
