President Bola Tinubu’s government has approved the construction of an airstrip in Canaanland, the headquarters of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, popularly known as Winners Chapel, in Ota, Ogun State.

This was made known by Bishop David Oyedepo to members of his congregation during his church’s Tehillah Night Special Edition.

Bishop Oyedepo mentioned that this development will aid in the transportation of worshippers and visitors, especially during large church programmes such as Shiloh.

He pointed out that the airstrip will allow members to travel directly from the church premises without having to go to the airport first, and that members will now have the option to land and park their aircraft at Canaanland.

The founder mentioned that the church will be funding the construction. Although the exact timeline for the project has not been specified, the church leadership has assured that it will meet all aviation standards.

Reacting to the news, Nigerians took to social media to share their thoughts.
