The Nigerian government has approved the construction of a private airstrip at Canaanland, the headquarters of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, also known as Winners Chapel, in Ota, Ogun State.
Bishop David Oyedepo, the founder of the church, announced the development during the Tehillah Night Special Edition in Canaanland, Otta, Ogun State.
Oyedepo revealed that the airstrip is expected to streamline travel for worshippers and guests, particularly during large-scale events such as Shiloh, the church’s annual convention.
“Our members can now land and park their aircraft at Canaanland, enabling easier access for worshippers and guests from across the country and beyond,” Bishop Oyedepo remarked.
According to him, the airstrip will allow members to travel directly to the church’s premises without first reaching a major airport.

“This move is seen as a major convenience for thousands who visit the church, especially during large gatherings.
“The airstrip project will be fully financed by the church, reflecting Living Faith Church’s commitment to self-reliance and infrastructural development.”
Oyedepo emphasised the church’s commitment to funding its own projects, adding that it was a step towards ensuring a high-quality facility with adherence to safety and aviation standards.
Although details on the construction timeline remain undisclosed, church leaders have assured congregants that the project will be undertaken promptly and in line with regulatory requirements.
