FG Approves Airstrip for Oyedepo’s Canaanland

The Federal Government has confirmed the approval of a private airstrip for Canaanland, the headquarters of Living Faith Church, also known as Winners Chapel, located in Ota, Ogun State.

The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, authorized the development, which was announced by the church’s founder, Bishop David Oyedepo, during a special thanksgiving service. The airstrip will facilitate easier travel for the renowned pastor and his congregation.

Oyedepo expressed his joy over the approval during the Tehillah Night Special Edition at Covenant University Chapel, held to celebrate his recent 70th birthday. “The Federal Government has approved an airstrip for Canaanland. I won’t need to fly a helicopter to the airport anymore. Members with their planes will also have a place to land and park,” Oyedepo said.

The airstrip is expected to improve transportation for the church’s numerous worshippers, particularly during large gatherings such as Shiloh, which attracts attendees from around the world.

Confirming the news, Tunde Moshood, media aide to Minister Keyamo, stated, “Yes, the minister approved the airstrip. It is a private airstrip, and the minister gave his consent.”

Oyedepo also took the opportunity to encourage young people to seek God’s plan for their lives, citing examples of Covenant University graduates who now serve as pilots flying him to his destinations.

The approval marks a significant milestone for the church, reinforcing its influence and commitment to enhancing infrastructure for its community.
