Nothing can stop Covenant University’s rise — Chancellor
…as the university celebrates 24th Founder’s Day Thanksgiving David Oyedepo, the chancellor of Covenant University, has declared that nothing
Covenant University, located in Ota, Ogun State, was founded in 2002 by Bishop David Oyedepo, presiding bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide (Winners' Chapel), as a faith-based private institution with a stated mission of raising a new generation of leaders. Over the past two decades it has grown into one of Nigeria's most prominent private universities, frequently ranking among the top institutions in the country and drawing attention for its emphasis on entrepreneurship, research output and campus infrastructure funded largely through the church's resources and tuition fees.
The remarks were made at the university's 24th Founder's Day Thanksgiving, an annual event that marks the institution's establishment and typically features reflections from Oyedepo on its growth and future direction. Both BusinessDay and ThisDay report his declaration that nothing can stop the university's rise, with ThisDay adding that he expressed confidence in its ambition to rank among globally sought-after universities. Neither report details specific metrics, rankings or new initiatives underpinning this claim, nor does either outlet include reactions from education stakeholders or independent assessments of the university's current standing.
