The federal government has approved the construction of an airstrip in Canaanland, the headquarters of the Living Faith Church Worldwide also known as Winners Chapel, in Ota, Ogun state.
The General Overseer of the church, David Oyedepo made the announcement to members of his congregation at his church’s Tehillah Night Special Edition in Canaanland, Otta, Ogun State.
Oyedepo explained that the airstrip is meant to improve transportation for worshippers and visitors, particularly during large events such as Shiloh as they can now move to anywhere from his church premises without having to get to the airport first.
The members would now be able to land and park their aircraft at Canaanland.
The founder of the church also revealed that the project will be privately funded by the church, highlighting its commitment to self-reliance and infrastructure development.
Although the exact timeline for construction has not been specified, the church leadership has assured that it will be carried out swiftly and in accordance with all necessary aviation standards.
