COVENANT UNIVERSITY, already securing her place as 'one of Ten in Ten in the world' by the uncountable number of innovations and scientific discoveries taking off at this prestigious University day in day out.
The core values of this great institution completely resonates in the words, actions and appearance of everyone we met right from the Principal Officers to the Staff and then the Students of Covenant University in Ota, Ogun State Nigeria.

SENATE Building |

Arriving at Canaan Land in Ota, Nigeria, the home of the biggest Church Auditorium on Earth and also the home of this great institution Covenant University, its from description and experience what i call 'a city within a city'! The architectural masterpiece is a wonder, from the array of the nerve centre of the university which the the Senate building to the Administrative blocks and offices to the healthy, mind blowing student classrooms, dining and cafeteria which strategically sits in different areas of the campus for easy accessibility of Staff, Student and even guests. It is here at Covenant University that i have come across the single largest classroom/lecture theatre in the history of our Visiting and Touring Institutions of Excellence across the globe, a lecture theatre built to sit conveniently over 2500 students with all the facilities up and working, any wonder the the students of this institution are up and alive, glowing and emitting Grace at every touch and contact.

VC,DVC & other Principal Staff Welcome CSA crew |
Every Principal officer was warm and receptive giving full time and attention. What a generation of Leaders who truly set the course of the sail by 'leading by example'. Not one of any of these great leaders rushed out to a meeting or something else all because they already planned their day from the dawn of the morning. I also like to recall at this point that every mail and correspondence was prompt and precise which made our Visit/Tour of Covenant University very sleek, classy and LOADED!

cross section of Students at the Campus Chapel |
My very first port of call was the popular chapel of the University where the entire student converge to fellowship twice in a week apart from the weekly Sunday service.
All students at different level of the university including the post graduates attends chapel twice a week.
Arriving at the chapel, i was overwhelmed by the teeming student audience with all principal staff and officers present as a regular routine and culture of the University.

Principal Officers at the Campus Chapel. |
Such a wonderful time of fellowship and the experience of seeing both
Students and Principal Staff/Officers fellowship together with so much
reverence of the most high God.
To start to talk about the up to date laboratories with intensive teaching of students will take me very long time to describe and explain except you watch any of the three episodes of one hour each that was birth from our Visit/Tour of this beautiful, well laid out, all green institution focused at releasing 'Kings and Queens' that will effect a positive and a radical change in the society home and abroad.
The greenery lay out of CU is so endearing such that the atmosphere on campus is so pure.
CU as fondly called is not just ranked tops among the universities in Africa in standards of learning and living but among the top universities in the world because of the Vision and Mission embarked upon by the University and it's at this point i give a standing ovation with cap removed for the resident Chancellor of this great institution Dr. David Oyedepo who from time to time mentors the students at close watch and supervision. This makes the students of CU enviable and the demand of any corporate organization.
When i arrived at the campus Health centre,

what i saw going round about the health centre with all its up-to-date hospital and laboratory equipment within the facility makes me say that it's not just a campus Health Centre but a full fledged international standard hospital.
Honestly, there is too too much to write about this school but i don't think this writing can ever cover all except for you to visit where i see as also a Tourist Attraction. What more can i say about the library of Covenant University?
From my observation, my interaction and my experience, CU can only be out to RAISE AND RELEASE A NEW GENERATION OF LEADERS.
Thanks to God for the visionary; Dr David Oyedepo for birthing this vision.
