Oyedepo while addressing the graduands said not everyone who passes through Covenant University will make the most of the opportunities life offers them.
He said, “My prayer is that each of you will mature at a rate that will be a surprise even to yourselves. Work hard at whatever your hands find to do. Every opportunity you have is an opportunity to develop capacity, (Luke 1:80). While vision is the gateway to a world of exploits, starting small is what makes the journey great. Manage your life well; commit yourself to a tireless and productive engagement,”
Covenant University is believed to be one of the best private university in Nigeria. The faith-based school was established in October 21, 2002, in Otta, Ogun state.
