Founder of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles
Ministries (MFM), Daniel Olukoya, has been joined
by Governors Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Udom
Emmanuel at the 30th anniversary celebration of
MFM.
Mr Sanwo-Olu was joined by his wife, Ibijoke, at
the event on Sunday.
Over 300 first class graduates from various
reputable universities and polytechnics across the
world have in 2019 benefitted from the Dr. D.K.
Olukoya Academic Award of Excellence.
The governors presented the awards to the
beneficiaries at the anniversary themed:
“Rearranged For Revival”.
Vice-Chancellor of the Mountain Top University,
Prof. Elijah Ayolabi, was also at the event which
held at the MFM Prayer City, Kilometre 12, Lagos-
Ibadan Expressway, Mowe-Ibafo, Ogun State.
Sanwo-Olu praised the graduates, describing
them as an inspiration to other students and
worthy ambassadors of the nation.
Olukoya said that rewarding graduates of tertiary
institutions for their exemplary academic
performance was part of his 70-point plan for
youth development.
He said: “The award is one, the MFM football
team is another. To the glory of God, both are
doing well now. This awards started in 2010 when
we gave out 19 cars to first class graduates.
“By 2013, the number of first class graduates had
risen to 77. We could no longer afford to give out
cars, so we resorted to giving out cash awards.
“It had become so competitive that it was
’embarrassing’ in a particular university where
they produced 10 graduates, among whom were
eight MFM members.
“By 2015, the number had risen to 130. Of course
the General Overseer couldn’t handle it alone any
longer. So, naturally, I had to ask for assistance
from other well meaning individuals to join me in
keeping the dream alive.”
