Adeleke University is a privately owned university located in Ede, a town in Osun State, southwestern Nigeria. It was established by Chief Adedeji Adeleke (the father of Davido, award-winning Nigerian musician)[3][4] through the Springtime Development Foundation (SDF), a philanthropic, non-profit organisation established by Dr. Adeleke to assist needy students in obtaining a quality higher education. As a faith-based institution of higher learning it is closely aligned with (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]
