President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration has approved the construction of an airstrip at Canaanland, the headquarters of Living Faith Church Worldwide, popularly known as Winners Chapel, in Ota, Ogun State.
Bishop David Oyedepo, the founder of the church, announced the development during a special service at Canaanland.
The airstrip is expected to streamline travel for worshippers and guests, particularly during large-scale events such as Shiloh, the church’s annual convention.
“Our members can now land and park their aircraft at Canaanland, enabling easier access for worshippers and guests from across the country and beyond,” Bishop Oyedepo remarked.
The addition of an airstrip will further boost the church’s expansive campus and create a more integrated experience for its members.
The project will be privately funded by the church, emphasizing its commitment to self-reliance and economic development. Besides improving transportation, it is expected to generate jobs during the qconstruction and operational phases, contributing positively to the local economy.
While the exact timeline for the airstrip’s construction has not been disclosed, the church leadership has promised a swift execution of the project, adhering to aviation standards to ensure safety and efficiency.
This development marks another step in the church’s ongoing efforts to enhance the worship experience for its members and visitors.
