The Chancellor of Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State, Dr David Oyedepo, says he will build a world-class university to compete favourably with such other universities.
Oyedepo said this on Thursday at 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.
He attributed the successful execution of developmental projects that could aid teaching in the university to the grace of God.
The chancellor 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. (Vanguard)
