Born on June 14, 265 1938 at Ilara-Mokin in Ondo State, Nigeria, 266 to the family of Chief Solomon Ojo of the 267 Lamilohun Lisa Chieftancy House and Chief (Mrs.) 268 Beatrice Ademolawe Ojo, Chief Ade-Ojo had his 269 primary education at St. Michaelâs Anglican School, 270 Ilara-Mokin, after which he proceeded to the famous 271 Imade College, Owo under the headship of the Late Pa. 272 Adekunle Ajasin in 1954 and finished in 1958. In his 273 believe that sustainable development and the resolution 274 of the multi-faceted problems and challenges of human societies 275 can only be achieved through the provision of functional higher 276 education geared towards the production of the required needed 277 critical mass of human 278 capital that would be the drivers of the societal development process 279 280 </div> 281 </div> 282 </div> 283 284 <br />
285 <div class="text-justify"> 286 <h1>The Humble Background</h1> 287 <p> 288 Although born in a time when there was 289 little to no financial aid for the less privileged, 290 and parents believed a lot lesser in education, 291 he still successfully made it through high school, 292 and later got a degree in Business Administration from the university. 293 After his graduation, he joined the work force at CFAO motors; 294 - a French distribution company. This same company 295 had paid the tuition for his last two years in the university 296 </p> 297 <p> 298 In 1966, while still working as a salesman for CFAO motors, 299 he successfully sold 20 trucks to the Electricity Corporation of 300 Nigeria, but to his dismay, his manager took credit for the sale, 301 which led to a protest by Michael, followed with him losing his 302 job by the end of the year. After his ousting at CFAO motors, 303 he moved on, and got a job at British Petroleum (BP). 304 Within three months of his employment, he increased the sales of 305 his local division by 25%. But just as he was unfortunate with 306 his previous employment, his new boss took credit for the 307 outstanding growth, and this left him aggrieved and lost in 308 thoughts. 309 </p> 310 <br /> 311 <h1>Chief Michael Ade.Ojo's Big Break</h1> 312 <p> 313 While in Lagos, Nigeria, during his annual British Petroleum (BP) holiday, 314 he decided to take a daring step to approach the RT Brisco Group; 315 an importer and distributor of trucking and automobile equipments. 316 He made them an offer to sell their equipments for a commission on 317 every successful sale. After careful consideration, 318 the RT Brisco Group decided to give him a trial. 319 In just four months after he sealed the deal with Brisco, 320 he sold about 40 cars. The commissions earned from the total sales, 321 were overwhelmingly higher than his yearly salary at BP. 322 This motivated him to quit his job, and pursue his dreams. 323 </p> 324 <p> 325 In 1971, he started the company, Elizade Independent Agencies (EIA), 326 with his wife, Elizabeth Wuraola Ojo. The name Elizade, 327 was derived from both his wifeâs name, Elizabeth, and his name, Ade. 328 His company focused on the distribution of automobiles in Nigeria, 329 especially Japanese cars.Success Story Of Michael Ade-Ojo. 330 He acquired the license to import Toyota Cars, with the name, 331 Toyota Nigeria Limited, and single handedly, made the car brand, 332 the most sought-after automobile brand in Nigeria. 333 He later went on to acquire 100% of RT Briscoe in Nigeria, 334 and subsequently acquired more shares, 335 to make his total holdings in Toyota Nigeria Limited, sum up to 74%. 336 </p> 337 <p> 338 Today, his conglomerate consists of Toyota Nigeria Limited, 339 RT Briscoe Nigeria, Elizade Auto Land, Classic Motors Limited, 340 Crow Motors Nigeria Limited, Elizade University, Okin Travels Limited, 341 and a host of other investments. 342 Heâs also on the board of directors of several 343 Nigeria banks and other companies such as Eco Bank, 344 First City Monument Bank, and SMT Nigeria Limited 345 (the official distributors of Mack trucks, 346 Volvo trucks, & Volvo Construction Equipments). 347 </p> 348 349 </div> 350 <br /> 351 <div class="row"> 352 <div class="feature-img col-md-4"> 353 <img src="/img/Founder.png" alt="Image" width="300" height="230"> 354 355 </div> 356 <div class="feature-img col-md-4"> 357 <img src="/img/founder2.jpg" alt="Image" width="400"> 358 359 </div> 360 <div class="feature-img col-md-4"> 361 <img src="/img/founder3.jpg" alt="Image" width="400"> 362 363 </div> 364 </div> 365 </div> 366</div> 367 368 369 <!-- Footer Start --> 370 <div class="footer"> 371 <div class="container"> 372 <div class="row"> 373 <div class="col-lg-6"> 374 <div class="row"> 375 <div class="col-md-7"> 376 <div class="footer-link"> 377 <h2>Contact Information</h2> 378 <p><i class="fa fa-map-marker-alt"></i> Ilara-Mokin, Ondo State, Nigeria</p> 379 <p><i class="fa fa-phone-alt"></i> +234-8101563682</p> 380 <p><i class="fa fa-envelope"></i> [email protected]</p> 381 382 </div> 383 </div> 384 <div class="col-md-5"> 385 <div class="footer-link"> 386 <h2>Quick Links</h2> 387 <a href="http://student.elizadeuniversity.edu.ng">Undergraduate Portal</a> 388 <a href="http://pgs.elizadeuniversity.edu.ng">Postgraduate Portal</a> 389 <a href="http://ilearn.elizadeuniversity.edu.ng/moodle/">ILearn</a> 390 <a href="http://repository.elizadeuniversity.edu.ng/">Library Repository</a> 391 <a href="/Home/ViewAdmission/8">Undergraduate Admission</a> 392 <a href="/Home/ViewAdmission/9">Postgraduate Admission</a> 393 394 </div> 395 </div> 396 </div> 397 </div> 398 <div class="col-lg-3"> 399 <div class="footer-newsletter"> 400 <h2>Quick Links</h2> 401 <div class="footer-link"> 402 <a href="/docsUpload/calendar.pdf" class="text-white" download="">Academic Calendar</a> 403 <a href="/docsUpload/feeStructure.pdf" class="text-white" download="">School Fees Structure</a> 404 <a class="text-white" href="/Home/ELearningPolicy">E-Learning Policy</a> 405 <a class="text-white" href="/Home/ICTPolicy">ICT Policy</a> 406 <a href="/Handbooks/Students Handbook.pdf" class="text-white" target="_blank">Students' Handbook</a> 407 <a href="/Handbooks/Key Institutional Data.pdf" class="text-white" target="_blank">Key Institutional Data</a> 408 </div> 409 </div> 410 </div> 411 </div> 412 413 </div> 414 </div> 415 416 <!-- Footer End --> 417 <div class="container d-md-flex py-4"> 418 419 <div class="me-md-auto text-center text-md-start"> 420 <div class="copyright"> 421 <p>© <a href="http://www.elizadeuniversity.edu.ng">Elizade University.</a> </p> 422 </div> 423 </div> 424 <div class="social-links text-center text-md-right pt-3 pt-md-0"> 425 <a href="https://twitter.com/ElizadeVarsity" class="twitter"><i class="bx bxl-twitter"></i></a> 426 <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ElizadeUniversity" class="facebook"><i class="bx bxl-facebook"></i></a> 427 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCD7kKQXMLI-VCczrfbmaKkQ" class="bi-youtube"></i></a> 428 <a href="#" class="google-plus"><i class="bx bxl-skype"></i></a> 429 <a href="#" class="linkedin"><i class="bx bxl-linkedin"></i></a> 430 </div> 431 </div> 432 <a href="#" class="back-to-top"><i class="fa fa-chevron-up"></i></a> 433 434 <!-- JavaScript Libraries --> 435
