About Adeyemi Federal University of Education

Adeyemi Federal University of Education, Ondo (formerly Adeyemi College of Education) is a federal specialised university of education located in Ondo City, Ondo State, in south-western Nigeria. The institution was upgraded from college to university status in 2023 as part of a federal initiative to convert leading colleges of education to federal universities of education.

Student enrolment exceeds 18,000 across NCE, undergraduate and postgraduate teacher education programmes.

History

Adeyemi College of Education was established in 1963 in Ondo town as one of the earliest teacher training colleges in western Nigeria, originally to address acute shortages of trained secondary school teachers following Nigeria\'s independence. The institution was named in honour of Sir Adeyemi Adesoji Aderemi, the Ooni of Ife at the time. Through the 1970s the institution was federalised and became Federal College of Education Adeyemi. In 2023 the institution was elevated to federal university status as part of a federal government initiative to upgrade leading colleges of education to federal universities of education, gaining the name Adeyemi Federal University of Education. The transition preserved the institution\'s focus on teacher education while expanding degree-awarding capacity beyond the previous Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) affiliation programmes.

🎯 VisionTo be a leading federal institution producing graduates of character, competence and integrity who contribute to national development.
🚀 MissionTo provide quality education, conduct relevant research and serve the community through teaching, learning and partnerships that advance Nigeria's development.
