Pastor Foluke Adeboye, the wife of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has been appointed Chancellor of Caleb University in the Imota area of Lagos State.
A statement issued by the institution’s media officer, Olawale Adekoya, on Monday, February 23, 2026, said Adeboye’s appointment was confirmed by the Caleb University Governing Council.
Adeboye was appointed as the Chancellor on February 21, after she received an honorary Doctor of Humanity (Honoris Causa) at the institution’s 15th convocation ceremony on February 18.
The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Olalekan Asikhia, said the chancellorship represents “a new dawn where scholarship aligns with spirituality”.
Asikhia added that Adeboye’s values and leadership would strengthen the institution’s principles.
He said: “Pastor Foluke Adeboye embodies a legacy that transcends pulpit and platform.
“For decades, she has functioned not merely as consort to a global spiritual leader, but as an institutional builder.
“She is a counsellor of nations, and a matriarch whose disciplined grace has fortified one of the world’s largest Christian movements.

“Her honorary doctorate was more than ceremonial pageantry; it was an academic acknowledgment of a lifetime invested in education, youth mentorship, family values and moral formation.”
Asikhia noted her appointment as Chancellor was not a mere “titular ornament”, but a custodian of institutional ethos, the embodiment of its philosophical soul, and visible guardian of its charter.
“By inviting Pastor Adeboye to this exalted seat, Caleb University has effectively enthroned character at the pinnacle of scholarship,” Asikhia added.
The VC noted that Adeboye’s chancellorship will enhance not only the university’s moral architecture but also its operational efficiency and global goodwill.
The institution’s 15th convocation ceremony witnessed the graduation of 1,924 students, including 96 First Class honourees and 22 PhDs.
