Samuel Adegboyega University (SAU) is located in Ogwa, Edo State, Nigeria. It was founded by The Apostolic Church Nigeria and named after Pastor Samuel Adegboyega.[1][2] The university was founded in 2011 and was given a temporary accreditation by the National Universities Commission;[3] in the spring of 2015, there were rumors that the university was listed for de-accreditation, though this was denied by the university's vice-chancellor.[4] In August 2015, however, the Commission announced that the university had failed to meet the benchmarks set to achieve accreditation,[3][5][6]

The inaugural class, consisting of 58 students, graduated in September 2015.[7]
