Tinubu congratulates Oyedepo on 72nd birthday, lauds his impact

President Bola Tinubu congratulated Bishop David Oyedepo on his 72nd birthday on 27 September, praising the cleric’s decades‑long impact on faith, education, and leadership in Nigeria. Tinubu joined the Oyedepo family, Living Faith Church Worldwide, and millions of admirers in celebrating a life devoted to integrity, discipline, diligence, responsibility, and excellence. He highlighted Oyedepo’s contributions through Covenant University and Landmark University, which have produced graduates driving entrepreneurship and innovation, and noted the bishop’s humanitarian work via the David Oyedepo Foundation, including schools, healthcare facilities, and aid for the needy.

The recognition matters because Oyedepo’s influence extends beyond the pulpit into publishing, leadership training, and humanitarian service, shaping moral and spiritual development across Africa and beyond. His institutions have become platforms for academic excellence and nation‑building, and his teachings on personal responsibility resonate with many Nigerians seeking guidance in public and private life.

Readers should consider how faith‑based initiatives like these contribute to national development, and reflect on the values of integrity and excellence in their own pursuits. The anniversary also underscores the ongoing role of religious leaders in shaping societal values and supporting education and health initiatives.
