The Rt. Rev. Prof. Obeka Samuel Sunday, born on September 23, 1962, hails from the Ai’ogwuche clan of Otukpo-Icho in Otukpo Local Government Area of Benue State, Nigeria. He is a distinguished scholar, Methodist minister, and seasoned educator with a rich history of contributions to academia, religious leadership, and community development.
Wesley University Ondo’s strategic thrust is to encourage comprehensive education, which disciplines the mind, develops the reasoning power and enables the young graduate to find or create employment and be of good service to the community. Methodist Church Nigeria is one of the missionary pioneers of western-style education in Nigeria. The Methodist Church used western education as a tool for the propagation of Christianity. In the education sector, the Methodist Church founded several institutions like Primary and Secondary Schools, Teacher Training Colleges like Wesley College, Ibadan, founded in 1905 and also Theological Institutions within Nigeria.
Also through its Education Department, the Methodist Church has participated in the manpower training of teachers up to tertiary level through the award of scholarships to teachers up to degree level. In the Health sector, it is on record that the Church founded, among others, Wesley Guild Hospital in IIesha, and Centre for Mentally Ill Destitute, Amaudo Itumbauzo, Abia State which was founded by the Missionary, Lady Rosalind Colwill. WESLEYUNI, initially established as Wesley University of Science and Technology, Ondo, was conceived with the zeal of promoting education in Nigeria. Taking a leaf from John Wesley’s book, especially his fierce opposition to slavery, the Methodist Church has always fought for the elimination of social evils, including illiteracy that diminishes human dignity. Viewing education as an instrument of enhancing the quality of life, Wesley University, Ondo was established as a means of “Investing in Nigeria’s Future through Capacity Building.”
