FG Speaks On Approving Private Airstrip For Bishop Oyedepo’s Canaanland

The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has confirmed the approval of a private airstrip for Canaanland, the headquarters of the Living Faith Church, located in Ota, Ogun State.

The church, also known as Winners Chapel, is led by its founder, Bishop David Oyedepo.

In a short video, Oyedepo joyfully shared the news with his congregation during the Tehillah Night Special Edition, a thanksgiving event held at the Covenant University Chapel in Canaanland. The program also served as a celebration of Oyedepo’s 70th birthday, which he recently marked in September.

Speaking to his congregation, Oyedepo expressed excitement over the government’s approval of the airstrip, explaining that it would significantly enhance his travel logistics.

I’m sure you’ll 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 anymore; I can now travel directly from here,” he said.

He also noted that the airstrip would accommodate planes owned by church members, providing them with a dedicated space to land and park.

Tunde Moshood, the minister’s media aide, confirmed the development, stating, “Yes, the minister approved the airstrip. It is a private airstrip, and the minister granted the approval.”

The new airstrip is expected to streamline transportation for worshippers and visitors, particularly during major church events, which often attract large crowds from around the world.
