TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – TSX-listed Ivanhoe on Monday reported that a member of its board, Dr Rilwanu Lukman, had passed away.

“We are deeply saddened to hear of the loss of Lukman, who was respected as one of Africa's most accomplished and internationally recognised and honoured business leaders. Lukman joined the Ivanhoe board as we were entering the most ambitious phase of our development as an Africa-focused mineral resource company and preparing for our initial public offering,” executive chairperson and founder Robert Friedland said.

“Drawing on his enormous experience and insights, his contributions through the board and its committees in helping to guide Ivanhoe's growth have been significant. We are privileged to have known and worked with him and, on behalf of everybody at Ivanhoe, I extend our sincere condolences to his family, friends and colleagues."

Lukman was a nonexecutive of International Mining & Infrastructure Corporation, an investment company concentrated on Africa's resource sector.

During his extensive career he served as secretary general of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and was formerly Nigeria's Foreign Affairs Minister, as well as the Mines, Power and Steel Minister.

He was made a knight of the British Empire in 1989 and an officer of the Legion d'Honneur of France in 1990.
