    Biography 

    Enoch Adeboye was born Enoch Adejare Adeboye on 2 March 1942 in the village of Ifewara, Osun State, Nigeria. His parents were very poor and he was one of their four children. Adeboye’s father was an illiterate farmer, who did not believe in educating any of his children. In fact, the family was so poor that they could not afford to pay the school fees anyway.

    But Enoch was so particular about receiving a formal education and when his requests to be sent to school were dismissed by his father, he went on a hunger-strike in a bid to persuade him. His father eventually gave in and sold a goat in order to pay for his son’s school fees. Thus Enoch Adeboye was enrolled at the only missionary school in their village.

    After his primary education, young Enoch was admitted into Ilesha Grammar School, Ilesha, Osun State, Western Nigeria in 1956, where he discovered his passion for science and mathematics.

    Enoch Adeboye badly wanted to pursue a higher education but the ongoing Nigerian Civil War and his family’s dire financial condition threatened to thwart his ambitions. Yet he chased his dream relentlessly and ultimately obtained not only a Bachelors (BSc.) degree in Mathematics from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Nigeria in 1967, but also a Masters (MSc.) Degree in Hydrodynamics and a Doctorate Degree (PhD) in Applied Mathematics, both from the University of Lagos, in 1969 and 1975 respectively.
