Oyedepo noted that members can now land and park their aircraft directly at Canaanland with the airstrip, making travel much more convenient.
Why Tinubu approved airport for Oyedepo's Canaanland
Canaanland is already a thriving community, boasting impressive facilities like Covenant University, secondary schools, a bakery, and a water processing plant. These amenities cater to the daily needs of members and the local community, and the addition of an airstrip only enhances accessibility to the church's environment.
This will particularly benefit international visitors, who will no longer face significant travel challenges.
The cleric has emphasised his commitment to providing top-notch infrastructure for the congregation and the broader community. The church will privately fund the project, demonstrating its dedication to self-reliance and infrastructure development. Moreover, the construction and operation phases are expected to positively impact the local economy by creating jobs.
When will Oyedepo start building Canaanland airport?
According to The Nation, the Canaanland leadership assured that the construction will be carried out swiftly and in accordance with all necessary aviation standards. This reinforces the church's ongoing effort to provide a seamless worship experience for all its members.
While the exact timeline for construction has not been specified, the project is undoubtedly a significant step forward for the community.
