One of the world’s richest clerics, Bishop David Oyedepo without doubt leads the pack in private schools ownership in Nigeria and he’s further upping the ante with the completion of massive Faith Academy Secondary School in Ibadan, Oyo state. The ultra-modern school is arguably the biggest among the Faith Academy Secondary Schools in his kitty and it’s estimated to be worth a whopping N300million.
The school sits atop several acres of land and equipped with most modern gadgets that makes it world class facility. Works were said to have begun on the site about three years ago. The academic complex is oval in shape with all-marbled wall and has three buildings.
Aside that, there are other structures littered inside the plots of land which serve as administrative block, hall, hostels and staff quarters. The buildings have been completed and painted light yellow and cream.
And the school signpost boldly displayed at the entrance.
David Olaniyan Oyedepo was born on September 27, 1954 in Osogbo, Osun State to Ibrahim Oyedepo, a Muslim healer and native of Omu-Aran and Dorcas, a member of the Eternal Order of the Cherubim and Seraphim Movement (C&S) also from Kwara State.
He started the Living Faith Church in Kaduna but moved to Lagos in 1989. He has written over 70 books.
He is worth N50 billion. He owns four private jets and buildings all around the world, including London and the United States.
