Adeleke’s election also adds to a growing list of leadership responsibilities he has undertaken across professional, media and alumni organisations.
He recently received an appointment as Special Assitant on New Media to the Chairman of the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC), Ogun State, Comrade Abdulah Babatunde Lawal, a role that further recognises his experience in journalism, digital communication and media management.
Adeleke began his journalism journey as a campus journalist and subsequently rose through the ranks of student media leadership.
He served as Vice-President of the Press Club, Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY), during the 2019/2020 academic session.
His campus journalism experience later paved the way for broader involvement in student media administration, culminating in his election as National President of the Nigerian Association of Campus Editors (NANCE).
Beyond journalism, Adeleke has also demonstrated leadership in alumni and community-based organisations. He is currently the National Secretary of the Ilugun High School Alumni Association and serves as President of the Ilugun High School 2009 Set.
His trajectory from campus journalism to professional media practice and leadership positions, according to colleagues and associates, reflects a commitment to communication, organisational development and service.
