FG approves airstrip for Canaanland, Oyedepo announces

Founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, also known as Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo has revealed that the Federal Government has approved the construction of an airstrip for Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland.

Oyedepo announced this during the Tehillah Night Special Edition at Covenant University Chapel, Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State on Sunday.

According to Oyedepo, this development will enable him to travel directly from the church premises, eliminating the need to fly to the airport first.

He said, “I am sure you will be glad to know that the Federal Government has approved an airstrip for Canaanland.

“I won’t need to fly a helicopter to the airport. I can leave from here to wherever I am going. Members with their planes will have where to land and park,” Oyedepo said.

The airstrip reportedly aims to improve transportation for worshippers and visitors, especially during large events like the church’s programs that draw thousands of individuals from around the world.

In his address, Oyedepo further encouraged his congregation to find their place in God’s plan, citing Covenant University graduates who fly him as examples.

“Won’t you be glad to know that there are some captains that fly me who are graduates of Covenant University? We don’t have an aviation department here but they found their place in God and went after it.

“That’s what this university is all about, it’s not about boxing you up. It’s about allowing you to locate God’s plan and pursue it accordingly. Young people, don’t play away your life, you don’t have a spare,” he said.

The Tehillah Night special edition was a special thanksgiving programme held in honour of the Bishop who recently marked his 70th birthday in September.
