The federal 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.
The airstrip aims to improve transportation for worshippers and visitors, particularly during large events such as Shiloh, an annual convention that draws thousands of attendees from around the world, as members would now be able to land and park their aircraft at Canaanland.
Canaanland is already home to several major facilities, including Covenant University, secondary schools, a bakery, and a water processing plant, which cater to the daily needs of members and the local community.
The addition of an airstrip will significantly enhance accessibility to the church's expansive campus, reducing travel challenges, especially for international visitors.
Bishop David Oyedepo, the founder of the church has emphasised his vision of providing improved infrastructure for both the congregation and the broader community.
The project will be privately funded by the church, highlighting its commitment to self-reliance and infrastructure development. It is also expected to positively impact the local economy by creating jobs during both the construction and subsequent operation phases.
Although the exact timeline for construction has not been specified, the church leadership has assured that it will be carried out swiftly and in accordance with all necessary aviation standards, reinforcing the church’s ongoing effort to provide a seamless worship experience for all its members.
