Professor Raphael Ayantunji Adeleke

With an outstanding performance at his WAEC exams, he proceeded to the Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti in 1982, graduating in Second Class Upper Division — as a pioneer student, he was the only Mathematics student in 1986. He obtained a Master's degree in Statistics from the University of Ibadan and later a Ph.D in Statistics from his alma mater, the Ekiti State University, in 2007. He joined the services of Ekiti State University in 1987 as a Graduate Assistant and rose to become a Professor of Statistics in 2012, holding several positions in the university, culminating in his appointment in 2022 into the office of Deputy Vice Chancellor (Development), a tenure which ended in 2025. He has been the President of Osan Progressive Union since 2014 and holds membership of a number of professional bodies. A precocious community developer, it was owed to the ceaseless efforts of the duo of Professors Ayan Adeleke and Wole Adebayo that the lingering boundary adjustment dispute between Osan and Epe communities finally came to an end in April 2025. He represents the Osan community on MUDA EXCO.
