Nigerian cleric, author and philanthropist, Bishop Funke Felix-Adejumo, has graduated with First Class honours in Law from Elizade University, Ondo State, emerging as the best student in her class at the age of 63.

Adejumo, who enrolled at the university in 2022 at 59, completed the undergraduate programme decades after obtaining her first degree in English Language from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.

Her husband, Bishop Felix Remi Adejumo, announced the achievement in an Instagram post on Friday, congratulating her on what he described as an outstanding academic performance.

He said the family was proud of her accomplishment and celebrated her as she began a new phase of her life.

Adejumo had earlier announced that her convocation ceremony would take place on Friday at Elizade University, Ilara-Mokin, with the event scheduled to begin at 11am.

Her return to university attracted public attention, particularly after reports in July 2026 incorrectly claimed that she had completed the Nigerian Law School. Her management later clarified that she was still pursuing her undergraduate law degree.

The First Class degree marks the completion of her undergraduate studies. However, she will still be required to attend the Nigerian Law School and meet the relevant professional requirements before she can be called to the Nigerian Bar.
