Appointment announced after convocation honour
In a statement issued on Monday, February 23, by the institution’s Information, Media and Publication Specialist, Olawale Adekoya, the university said the new Chancellor would preside over convocations, confer degrees and serve as the ceremonial head of the institution, Punch reported.
The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Olalekan Asikhia, described the development as a significant milestone in the university’s growth and long-term vision.
University describes move as symbolic and strategic
According to the statement, the appointment reflects more than ceremonial recognition.
“The conferment and subsequent appointment of the globally revered cleric, fondly known as Mummy G.O., signal what observers have described as ‘a convergence of scholarship and sanctity’, a rare alignment of intellectual excellence and spiritual authority at the summit of university governance,” the statement read.
Prof. Asikhia added that the university was confident her leadership experience and moral standing would reinforce its institutional values and academic direction.
Adeboye’s experience highlighted by management
Further emphasising her credentials, the statement noted that her influence extends beyond her role within the church, Vanguard reported.
“For decades, she has functioned not merely as consort to a global spiritual leader, but as an institutional builder, a counsellor of nations, and a matriarch whose disciplined grace has fortified one of the world’s largest Christian movements,” it said.
Registrar welcomes new Chancellor
The Registrar, Mayokun Olumeru, also welcomed the appointment, describing it as an honour for the Caleb university and praising Adeboye’s moral leadership.
He referred to her as “a guardian of values, and a steady moral compass in turbulent times.”
Pastor Adeboye, a senior pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, is widely known for her work in education, family counselling and youth mentorship.
