Felix Ovudoroye Ibru

Olorogun Felix Ovudoroye Ibru (7 December 1935 – 12 March 2016) was an architect, politician, and businessman from Agbarha-Otor (Ughelli North LGA, Delta State) who served as the first civilian Governor of Delta State (2 January 1992 – 17 November 1993, SDP), a tenure cut short by the Abacha coup. A Nottingham-trained architect (M.Sc. Technion, Israel, 1963) and a designer of over 40 major projects (Sheraton Hotels Ikeja, UNIBEN Master Plan, UNILAG Sports Complex), he laid the Asaba Master Plan and elevated the College of Education, Abraka into Delta State University. Later Senator for Delta Central (2003–2007), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Establishment, and the legislative architect of the Pension Reform Act 2004 which created PENCOM. President-General of the Urhobo Progress Union (2007). Widely regarded as a man of integrity; received the highest Urhobo honour in December 2015. **No corruption case has been recorded against him in the corpus**, and the sole `corruption_cases.json` entry is a category-menu artifact from an opinion piece honouring his legacy. Recommend `contextual` for the Delta archive.
