Sir Olumuyiwa Jibowu, Kt (26 August 1899 – 1 June 1959) was a Nigerian jurist who was the first African to serve on the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
In 1919, he left Nigeria for London where he attended Oxford University, England and earned a degree in Civil Law.
[citation needed] In March 1958, he succeeded Adetokunbo Ademola as the Chief Justice of the Western region.
Jibowu was highly regarded and among those present at his funeral service included: James Wilson Robertson, Kofo Abayomi, John Rankine, Samuel Akintola and a number of Supreme Court Justices.
