Without a doubt, Dr. Adedeji Adeleke is indeed one of the biggest industrialists in Nigeria. He has a large business conglomerate to back up this fact as his magic wand in business has helped sustain him over the years. The Ede, Osun State-born billionaire connotes a soul who enjoys the abundant grace of his creator, particularly when you consider how he had risen from grass to grace in his sojourn.
Staying different from his peers who were born with the proverbial silver spoon in their mouth, Adeleke through sheer dint of hard work, persistence and long-suffering, founded Pacific Holdings a one-time moribund company that rose to become one of the biggest players in the energy, Security, Music Label, Education hospitality, banking and real estate sector. Today, has many other reasons to beat his chest as a successful uncle, father, and grandfather as the leader of the popular Adeleke Dynasty in Ede Osun state.
As much as he loved to stay away from the media frenzy, Chief Adedeji’s superstar son; David Adeleke popularly known as Davido threw him into public consciousness after constantly boasting and speaking of his enormous wealth and grand opulence. His son also created the sobriquet ‘Omo Baba Olowo’ meaning the ‘Son of wealthy Man’ for himself.
The generous philanthropist is not a man who likes to display his God-given wealth, but when he has a reason to do so, he has a mastery of it. Apart from his fleet of expensive luxury automobiles, He owns a Gulfstream private jet, estimated to be about $65 million, just over N23.5 Billion. The state-of-the-art Gulfstream family of jets is known for its rakish structures, sleek and well-furnished interiors, speed specs that are the stuff of pilotage dreams. The Cabins and seats were tastefully painted with cream colour, with the very best of luxury laced with comfort. Only a few aviation companies can boast of similar advanced-technology aircraft that redefine safety, comfort and range at speed.

For his family, he is ready to cross seven seas. He displayed this for his younger sibling Ademola Adeleke who won the Osun State Guber Election. He is a dangerous giver who loves philanthropy. His Adeleke University in Ede has plenty of Students enjoying free educational scholarships. He is a man with principles but very generous to a fault.” Another source says; that as a devoted 7th-day Adventist, he does not joke with his Sabbath day; a day he communicates with his creator. “Every Saturday, Dr. Deji will confine himself in a solitary mood, praying for himself, his sibling and his family. He is a selfless man. More reason he has continued to grow in all ramifications beyond his imagination.”
