Adeleke University

Adeleke University is a privately owned institution, located in Ede, a town in Osun State, southwestern Nigeria. It was established by Chief Adedeji Adeleke[3][4] through the Springtime Development Foundation (SDF), a philanthropic, non-profit organisation established by Chief Adedeji to assist less privileged students in obtaining a quality higher education. As a faith-based institution of higher learning, it is closely aligned with (but not owned and/or operated by) the Seventh-day Adventist Church and its philosophy of Christian Education. As such, it is a part of the Seventh-day Adventist education system, the world's second largest Christian school system.[5][6][7][8]
