Adeleke University: Dr. Adeleke offers automatic employment to first-class graduates

Adedeji Adeleke, the father of music superstar Davido and the founder of Adeleke University in Ede, Osun State, has made a remarkable gesture to boost academic success and professional growth: he has announced automatic employment for the institution’s first-class engineering graduates. During the weekend’s 10th undergraduate and 6th postgraduate convocation ceremonies, this announcement was made.

Dr. Adeleke urged the first-class graduates to apply for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) year assignments in Ondo and Ogun States. The goal of this calculated move is to position these outstanding graduates in Pacific Energy facilities, where they will gain invaluable real-world experience. “As much as you can, try to get posted by NYSC to Ogun State or Ondo State, where our power plant is located. “You have an automatic job after your service year, and you are welcome to serve at the plant,” Dr. Adeleke said.

As part of the university’s mission to equip its students for success in the real world, this project aims to facilitate a smooth transition from academic life to professional jobs. The graduates view the gift from the billionaire philanthropist as a huge boost, guaranteeing that their diligence and hard work will be rewarded with job chances that arise right away.

Vanguard reports that Dr. Adeleke stressed the value of this hands-on learning opportunity, pointing out that it will play a significant role in determining the graduates’ future professional paths. He restated the goal of the university, which is to help students become successful professionals by bridging the gap between their academic performance and industrial demands.

The Punch also covered the announcement and shared a video of it on its X handle, @MobilePunch (previously known as Twitter), which attracted a lot of interest. Dr. Adeleke’s speech to the graduates, which highlights his dedication to their future achievement, is captured on camera.

Dr. Adeleke’s initiative reflects his broader vision for Adeleke University and its role in national development. By offering automatic employment to first-class graduates, he is not only enhancing the value of the education provided by the university but also contributing to the nation’s energy sector through the involvement of skilled professionals.

This move is expected to inspire other educational institutions and private sector leaders to adopt similar approaches, fostering a culture of excellence and practical readiness among Nigerian graduates. It underscores the potential impact of private sector involvement in education and workforce development, setting a benchmark for others to follow.

To sum up, Adedeji Adeleke’s offer of automatic employment to Adeleke University first-class engineering graduates is a praiseworthy move that should help these young professionals get off to a great start in their careers and further the university’s tradition of excellence and practical engagement.
