His father, Chief Oseni Adelokun Adekola, was a farmer and goldsmith in Ilaro Egbado (now Yewa). His mother, Chief Mrs. Saadatu Atoke Solope Adekola (also known as Alafoti), was a trader specializing in Aso Oke fabrics and other entrepreneurial ventures in Ilaro, Yewa.

During his early years, Adekola attended St. Joseph Catholic Primary School, Ilaro, and Victory Primary School, Oke-Ado, Ibadan. He later enrolled at Ibadan Boys High School and completed his secondary education at Ahmadiyya/Anwar Islam Grammar School, Eleiyele, Ibadan, where he demonstrated strong academic performance.

Academic Career
