The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has confirmed the approval of an airstrip for Canaanland, the property owned by the Living Faith Church in the Ota, near Lagos.
Founder of the Church, also known as Winners Chapel, David Oyedepo, was seen in a short video celebrating the development, telling the congregation of the latest feat of the church.
Oyedepo announced this during the Tehillah Night Special Edition at Covenant University Chapel, Canaanland, Ota, on Sunday, October 6, 2024.
The Tehillah Night special edition was a special thanksgiving programme held in honour of the clergyman, who recently marked his 70th birthday in the last week of September.
Contacted by the Punch Newspaper, the media aide to the minister, Tunde Moshood, confirmed this development, saying the Federal Government through the minister approved the airstrip.“Yes, the minister approved the airstrip. It is a private airstrip and that I can confirm.”
According to Oyedepo, this development will enable him to travel directly from the church premises, eliminating the need to fly to the airport first with helicopters.
Oyedepo who is among the richest pastors in the world owns four private jets, including Bombardier Challenger 604, Grumman Gulfstream I (G-159), Gulfstream IV (G-IV) and Gulfstream V (Gee-5). Bishop Oyedepo also owns two helicopters which he flies for missionary work.
“I won’t need to fly helicopter to the airport again. I can go from here to anywhere I’m going” Bishop Oyedepo said to his congression.
Obviously the 70th birthday of the famed man of God arrived many good news from multiple directions.
