Prof Francis Gordon Idon Omiunu
In loving memory of Professor FGI Omiunu, forever cherished, deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
Obituary
With deep sadness, but gratitude to God for a life well spent, we announce the passing of Professor Francis Gordon Idon Omiunu on 25 May 2026. Professor Francis Gordon Idon Omiunu was born on 7 July 1943 at Oke Old Site, Ora, in Owan West Local Government Area of Edo State.
A gifted student from an early age, Professor FGI Omiunu pursued his education with determination and distinction. After his early schooling in Ora, Sabongida-Ora, Benin and Owo, he graduated from the University of Ife with a B.A. Honours degree in Geography in 1971. He later obtained an M.A. in Transport Geography from York University, Toronto, Canada, and a PhD in Geography from the University of Benin.
Professor FGI Omiunu’s life was defined by teaching, scholarship and service. His career began in the classroom, and over more than five decades, he taught at the primary, secondary, military, and university levels. He served at the Nigerian Defence Academy and the Nigerian Military School before joining the University of Benin in 1978, where he rose to the rank of Professor of Geography and Regional Planning in 1992. He taught and mentored generations of students, supervised numerous postgraduate theses, published widely, and earned international recognition as a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society (London).
He was also a man of deep faith, a devoted husband to Professor Stella Ebun Omiunu, a loving father, grandfather, brother, uncle, teacher and community figure. He served his church faithfully and remained closely connected to his home community of Ora.
Above all, Professor FGI Omiunu’s life was a life of labour, discipline, learning and service. His influence continues in his family, his students, his colleagues, his community, and in all those whose lives were touched by the knowledge he gave, the values he modelled, and the example he left behind.

Prof. Omiunu was not just an uncle to me but a father figure and an inspirational one at that.
His home and heart were ever open to receive all that needed a place or guidance. Meeting him always left you with something. His warmth was contagious. He always had a story to tell, a joke to share, an advice to give or even help to render.
He was a walking encyclopedia as he was a very knowledgeable person, not only in his field but on a wide array of subject matters. He always inspired me to do better and always be ready to learn something.
Uncle, today we celebrate you and your legacies you have left with us. Thank you for all you were to us.

It is with a heart full of gratitude that I remember Prof. FGI Omiunu.
He was, without question, a strict man. There were standards to uphold, discipline to maintain, and no room for carelessness. 5am the lights came on, 6pm he goes on his evening walks. Almost everything was done with military precision. Yet beneath that firm exterior was a man blessed with a wonderful sense of humour and an incredibly generous heart.
One of the greatest expressions of that generosity was that he opened his home to me. From Year 1 to my final year P1 was my home. Not only did he welcome me in, he refused the idea of me moving to get my own place or stay in the BQ. He opened his home to me. I ate what he ate, and drank what he drank…well…almost. Prof loved his Gulder and that was not our drink but that did not stop him from offering us the bottle after pouring a glass for himself. Gilder and peanuts :) Looking back now, I appreciate what an extraordinary act of kindness that was. He welcomed me into his home, made room for me, and never made me feel like an inconvenience. At the time, I probably took it for granted—as young people often do—but with the benefit of age and hindsight, I now recognise the sacrifice, patience and love that such hospitality required. His home became a place where I felt accepted, safe and cared for, and for that I will always remain grateful.
I will always remember the balance he struck between discipline and warmth. He could correct you one moment and have you laughing the next. That rare combination earned him not just my respect, but also my affection.
One of the blessings I will always thank God for is having had the opportunity to visit him shortly before he passed. Although it was difficult seeing him on his sickbed, I am deeply grateful that I was able to spend those final moments with him. I did not know then that it would be our last meeting, but I left thankful that I had the chance to see him, honour him, and say goodbye.
Prof. leaves behind far more than memories. He leaves a legacy reflected in the lives he touched, the values he instilled, and the quiet acts of kindness that spoke volumes about the man he was.
Thank you, Prof., for opening not just your home, but your heart to me. Thank you for the discipline that shaped me, the laughter that lightened so many moments, and the example of generosity that I hope to emulate. I count it a privilege to have known you.
May God grant you eternal rest and comfort your family and all who mourn you. Your life was a blessing, and your memory will continue to live on in my heart.

Dear Sir, you were a father figure to many of us. I was always warmly received by you and appreciate all you did those years. I pray God grants your Soul eternal rest, Amen
July 26, 2026
As sad as I feel with the passing of Daddy, it's been a great honour and privilege to have known you and grown up in your household.
Prof. was many things to many people; To some he was Prof. FGI Omiunu, the erudite professor of Geography and Regional planning, who knew African and global Geography with incredible accuracy.
To others he was Captain Omiunu fondly remembered for his exploits at the Education corps at Nigerian army particularly at the Nigerian Defence Academy Jaji (Nigeria's Apex war training institute).
Many remember him as the former Dean of students, others a vocal contemporary at the Academic senate of hhe University of Benin.
In all of these roles and many more, prof made his mark and left a lasting legacy. Positively so.
He was a true father to all, who listened patiently, encouraged kindly, counselled wisely and judged impartially.
He was also an excellent historian and loved a good debate about politics. He always had funny, entertaining stories about all of these and his time in Toronto Canada while studying for his PHD.
He spoke Edo (particularly the Ora dialect) with such dexterity that he rarely needed to use English words mid-sentence or to pass a message. His English was also excellent.
A whole Cow 🐄 was slaughtered every Christmas and a whole Ram 7 days later on new years eve. Showing us what it meant to live your life to the fullest. He sure did. Classical music and ancient Christian ✝️ hymns would fill the air at his long term residence residence in P1 (the professors quarters at the Univerity campus) every Sunday.
Rest in God's presence until we meet again.

It has been difficult penning a tribute to Prof, most especially because he was always larger than life and had one of the most rounded personalities I have been priviledged to know.
(i) an extremely intelligent man who was always keen to have interesting conversations with anyone (provided proper English was spoken!), (ii) a loving but stern father (not just to his biological children, but to all who he interacted with, and especially those of us 'adopted' into the Omiunu household), (iii) a lover of classical music (which was always played at the loudest volume and we all came to love and look forward to every December!), (iv) a lover of the National Geographic channel (especially programmes showing animals in their primal states and environments) and which we attributed to his academic background as a distinguished Professor of Geography and Regional Planning, and (v) a noteworthy supporter of our youthful exuberance (with memorable experiences perhaps too colourful for this tribute 😊).
I will definitely miss Prof's warm and welcoming smile, and I pray God grants him eternal rest and comforts his family during this difficult time.

Prof. Francis Gordon Idon Omiunu was a disciplined, principled and remarkable man who lived a life of service. He had a unique sense of humour that made him both endearing and memorable. I will always remember his love for beef and how the presence of live cows was a familiar sight at his compound in P1, UNIBEN Staff Quarters.
I also remember being with him during one of the most difficult moments of his life when he lost his son, Oise. It was a poignant reminder of how deeply he loved his children. He was a devoted family man who supported and encouraged his wife to attain the pinnacle of academia, culminating in her becoming a professor.
His greatest legacy is the wonderful family he raised. The values, discipline and character he embodied are clearly reflected in his children. May God grant him eternal rest and comfort his family. Rest on, Prof. Your legacy lives on.

My earliest memory of my uncle takes me back to my primary school days, when he returned from Toronto with a degree and gifts for the family. Later, in Benin as a student, I saw the man behind the achievements. A disciplined former army officer, a lecturer who expected the best, praised honest effort and lived his values. A self-made scholar from O-levels to a PhD and professorship. He also inspired others, encouraging his wife into academia, where she too became a professor. At home he was warm, loved thoughtful debate, filled Sundays with hymns on the stereo and led with steady care. We grieve his passing but celebrate a life well lived. His voice may be still, but the rhythm of his example goes on. In the lives he shaped, in the standards we keep, in the love we pass on. We will remember him, not only in our words, but in the way we live.

*A Tribute to my dearest Uncle*
Uncle, you were just you!
No nonsense…. but caring.
Oh, you were Geography & Geography was you!👌
Though married to my Aunt, you took us in as your own as you did with sooo many others not even related to you.
Thank you, Sir.
You fondly called me SB (Seme Border) - with that smile on your face. That alias stuck till the end.
You silently always checked on my academic progress…… never missing anything & always cheered me on.
I know you were proud of me.
Thank you for everything, Uncle.
My family & I appreciate you!
We love you Sir, but GOD loves you best.
Rest on Uncle……. Rest in the bosom of our LORD Jesus Christ, Amen.🙏
Fondly remembered,

A man of integrity. A man of discipline.
Though he is late, the impact he made remains with us.
I will never forget when he accepted to chair my wedding several years ago. The wisdom, the fatherly counsel... you just knew a professor was speaking lol. And we took every word to heart.
Thank you Sir. Rest in perfect peace.

The passing of our dear Daddy, Professor F. G. I. Omiunu is a great loss to the Omiunu family, their in-laws like me and the various communities that had the fortune of experiencing his impact.
Daddy always referred to me as his son. I treasured our relationship and his wise counsel. He was a doting father and grandfather, loving husband to Mommy and a great family man. My heartfelt condolences 💐 to our dear Mommy, Professor Mrs. Omiunu and the Omiunu family at home and abroad.
May Daddy’s soul and those of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in perfect peace. Amen 🙏

Rest in peace, Prof. and to many of us El Capitano.
I fondly remember our last conversation at the NCEE, where you came to read. Your energy was infectious, and you spoke with the same passion, wisdom, and conviction that always defined you. You embodied strength and kindness, and your home was always open and welcoming to everyone.
I will never forget your remarkable knowledge of history and the way you would call me and Ohio and any friend preesent to "sit down" before giving us a thorough explanation of every historical or political issue.
May the saints of God lead you safely home, and may you continue to rest in perfect peace. You will always be remembered, respected, and greatly missed

Through my friendship with his beloved son, Ehi who has also gone to be with the Lord, I found not just a friend but a second home. Daddy welcomed me into his family with genuine love, kindness, and acceptance.
There are some people whose love goes beyond blood ties, proving that family is not only defined by birth but also by the kindness and generosity of the heart. Daddy was one of those rare people.
When my dear friend, Ehi passed away, many would have expected the relationship to end. But that was never the case. The bond that Daddy and the entire family shared with me remained strong. I continued to visit, call and stand with the family because the love we shared had grown beyond friendship, it had become family. Daddy always received me with the same kindness and affection, reminding me that true relationships are built on loyalty, love and sincerity.
Daddy was a man who welcomed people, encouraged them, and made them feel valued. His wise counsel and genuine concern for others will always remain fresh in my memory. While it hurts that both my dear friend, Ehi and Daddy are no longer with us, I find comfort in the beautiful memories they gave me and the lasting impact they made on my life. I am forever grateful that God allowed our paths to cross.
Rest peacefully, Daddy. Your race is finished; your legacy lives on. Until we meet again, may your gentle soul rest in perfect. Amen

It is never easy to say goodbye to someone who meant so much to so many people.
You were a father in every sense of the word and you had a funny nickname for me.
Your absence leaves a space that can never truly be filled, but the memories you created and the lives you touched will continue to live on. Your legacy is reflected in the wonderful children you raised and in the countless hearts you inspired.
To the loved ones you left behind, I pray that you all find strength in the beautiful memories you shared and comfort in knowing that your father's life was one filled with purpose, love, and honor. You may no longer be with us physically, but your wisdom, and your love will never be forgotten.
May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace.

My memories of daddy streamed from as far back as 1980, when he and his family lived on same road with our family ( BANMAH) on Ozolua Avenue Off Ekenhuan road, Benin city. Taking a stroll with my parents to the house of the Omiunus then are memories that can never be forgotten especially knowing Ehi( RIP) and Oise( RIP) would be home. You can't greet daddy without him robbing your head in appreciation of your presence and in Ora dialect say , eh! eh? & Eleh🤣
Daddy had this energy that was typical of a specially trained military officer that I always thought he may have been a Ex-Commando. Then he was fundly called, CAPTAIN OMIUNU by my parents and his friends that I knew in the family circle. Two weeks after his first daughter ( Juliet Oghuanosuan)was born was when they relocated to the university campus. Same university where I attended university which he was very instrumental in my gaining admission into.
Like to reward his goodness and keep the Omiunus close forever to my family, I found the daughter years later on social media and married her in 2017. As they say, na wetin comot from inside family when good nai person de carry go house for keeps😉. A true disciplined and focused individual like a missile locked on to its target. A man who's words seldom never come to be as he has said it . A man who minds his business so others can have their business too. A " Mr No Nonsense" towards life 😊. A man who's happiest when his children are happy around ( even if far ). A man of incredible resilience! I believe my aspirations to be a soldier was provoked by my childhood knowledge of him and how he got along in typical military style.
Forever my Captain and uncle and later father in-law. Rest well daddy 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

Although I never met him, my husband’s early memories of Professor Omiunu was of riding in his big Volvo 240 in the 80s.
He was indeed a father figure whenever he was with kids, even kids or other people.
He will be remembered for his stern but loving guidance and mentorship.
Rest in peace daddy.
