Pastor Foluke Adeboye, wife of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye has been appointed Chancellor of Caleb University, Imota, Lagos.
The institution announced the appointment after she was conferred with an honorary Doctor of Humanity (Honoris Causa) at its 15th convocation ceremony.
In a statement issued on Monday, by the Information, Media and Publication Specialist Olawale Adekoya, the university said the chancellor would preside over convocations, confer degrees and serve as the ceremonial head of the institution.
The Vice-Chancellor Prof. Olalekan Asikhia said the appointment was important to the university’s development.
“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 said the university believes Adeboye’s leadership and experience will strengthen its values and direction.
“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,” the statement added.
The Registrar Mayokun Olumeru said the institution was honoured by her appointment, describing her as “a guardian of values, and a steady moral compass in turbulent times.”
Foluke Adeboye is a senior pastor of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).
She is involved in education, family counselling and youth mentorship.
At the convocation, the university graduated 1,924 students, including 96 First Class graduates and 22 recipients of doctoral degrees.
