Speaking at the institution’s 5th inaugural lecture on Saturday, Oyedepo also said  that the level of education of the citizenry would help to drive nation building and development, PM News reports.

He said: “People need to be educated before they can partner with stakeholders to achieve meaningful development.

He also urged Nigerians, in the spirit of the campaign slogan, 'Çhange', to change their approach to issues.

“Nothing will change until our approach to issue change because each Nigerian needs to play a role by taking responsibility.”

The founder of Living Faith Church a.k.a Winners Chapel advised the Federal Government to review its investment policy on education.

According to him, there must be huge investment in the sector before any meaningful development can be achieved in the country.

“Every development in all the nations involves heavy investment in education,” he said.
