he Chancellor of Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State, Dr
David Oyedepo, has said he will build a world-class university to compete
favorably with such other universities.
Oyedepo said this on Thursday in Ota, Ogun State, at the
19th Founder’s Day celebration of Covenant University.
He said that the institution would provide the enabling
environment for quality education to thrive so that new generation of leaders
could be raised to proffer solutions to nations’ challenges.
The cleric attributed the successful execution of
developmental projects that could aid teaching in the university to the grace
of God.
He said the institution began operations on Oct. 21, 2002,
with nothing, stressing that: “but with the grace of God, which we did not take
for granted, the institution is already on ground and flourishing.
“Ingratitude leads to destruction because gratitude is a
requirement for change of position,’’ he said.
Oyedepo said that without God, the university would not have
been able to achieve its remarkable development.
“The more glory we give to God, the more grace He is
releasing because by strength shall no man prevail,’’ he said.
Bishop Oyedepo, who described God as awesome, noted that the
institution never experienced setback in its operations.
In his remarks, the vice-chancellor of the university, Prof.
Abiodun Adebayo, said the university was training expert thinkers and
technocrats that would restore the dignity of the Black race.
Adebayo said the entry of Covenant University into Nigeria’s
educational landscape marked the battles of revolution in Africa’s educational
system.
Prof. Adebayo added that Covenant University had turned out
graduates who are expert thinkers and solution providers that are making
remarkable contributions to national development.
