Our Team Of Extraordinary Individuals

Pastor (Dr.) Ronke Esther Adoga is the Co-Chair and Chief Executive Officer of the Lead Empowerment and Advancement (LEAD) Foundation, a transformational organisation dedicated to developing leaders, empowering entrepreneurs, advancing sustainable development, and inspiring positive societal change. As the Foundation’s Chief Executive Officer, she provides strategic leadership for its programmes, partnerships, and initiatives, helping to equip individuals and communities with the knowledge, values, and opportunities needed to thrive and positively influence society.

A distinguished educationist, transformational leader, minister of the Gospel, and advocate for youth development, Dr. Ronke Adoga is passionate about nurturing individuals to realise their God-given potential and become responsible leaders in their families, organisations, communities, and nations. Her work reflects a deep commitment to leadership development, education, character formation, lifelong learning, and servant leadership.

Her journey of faith began on 27 August 1995, when she surrendered her life to Jesus Christ at the Garden of Faith, Living Faith Church. She was subsequently baptised in water and filled with the Holy Spirit in November of the same year. While studying at Ahmadu Bello University, she was nurtured through the Charismatic Renewal Ministry, where she received a solid biblical and spiritual foundation that continues to shape her leadership philosophy and lifelong commitment to service.

Her spiritual development continued at Living Faith Church, Barnawa, where she became a full-time member of staff in 1996. She coordinated the Dominion Bookstores, during which she experienced significant spiritual growth and leadership development under the impactful ministry of Bishop David Abioye. During this period, she also founded and coordinated the Readers Club, an initiative established to cultivate a culture of reading, continuous learning, and personal development among young people.

Following several years of ministry service, Dr. Ronke Adoga transitioned into the banking sector, serving with Standard Trust Bank before her engagement to Pastor (Dr.) Inalegwu Joseph Adoga. Following their marriage, she continued her professional career with United Bank for Africa (UBA), where she gained valuable experience in retail banking, marketing, customer service, and relationship management. These experiences further strengthened her leadership capacity and reinforced her passion for excellence, people development, and organisational effectiveness.

Committed to continuous learning, she earned a Diploma in Purchasing and Supply from Ahmadu Bello University, followed by a Bachelor of Science degree in Mass Communication from Lead City University, Ibadan, and a Master of Science degree in Mass Communication (Broadcasting) from the University of Lagos. Following the family’s relocation to Uyo in 2020, she commenced doctoral studies at the University of Uyo. Her academic and professional accomplishments have also been complemented by honours and recognitions from Prowess University, Delaware, United States, and other respected institutions and professional organisations.

She is also an alumna of several renowned leadership and ministry institutions, including the Word of Faith Bible Institute (WOFBI), Dominion Leadership Institute (DLI), Global Leadership Institute (GLI), the Institute for National Transformation, Haggai International, Living Spring International, and other leadership development organisations.

Beyond her leadership responsibilities at the Foundation, Dr. Ronke Adoga serves as the Executive Director of Roninal International School, where she provides visionary leadership in advancing the school’s commitment to delivering holistic, value-based education within a happy, stimulating, secure, and nurturing learning environment. Under her leadership, the school is committed to developing the whole child—emotionally, socially, physically, artistically, intellectually, and spiritually—while integrating the strengths of the British, Montessori, International Primary Curriculum (IPC), and Nigerian curricula to prepare learners for lifelong excellence, responsible citizenship, and global relevance.

As Co-Chair and Chief Executive Officer of the LEAD Foundation, Dr. Ronke Adoga provides strategic direction for programmes that promote leadership development, youth empowerment, education, entrepreneurship, mentorship, and community transformation. Working alongside the Foundation’s leadership team, she continues to champion initiatives that inspire children, young people, educators, parents, and emerging leaders to pursue excellence, embrace lifelong learning, and become catalysts for positive societal transformation.
