We’re on a Mission to Raise a New Generation of Leaders

“Our mandate in Covenant University is to raise a new generation of leaders through qualitative, life-applicable and value-based leadership skills development, education embedded in sound biblical principles thereby restoring the dignity of the black man.”

Chancellor and Chairman, Board of Regents

I entered CU as an average student, who had no sense of direction or goals and plans for the future. Now, I can say my entire being has been fully aligned with God's plan and purpose for my life. I now have a sense of direction and purpose, and I know what I was made to be and how to get there. CU taught me to dream big and think beyond the imaginable. It developed my spiritual life making me thirst and long for God every second of my day and made me understand true service to God. I learnt from the best moments and did not forget to pick substantial lessons from the worst moments. I was taught by great lecturers who were never ready to give up on me and believed in my dreams. Not to forget the greatest assets in CU, “The people.” I was surrounded by positively driven people, whose stories motivated me to be an improved version of myself. I am grateful to God for the privilege to have attended CU.

Graduate of Economics | Associate, Tax Advisory and Regulatory Services at Andersen in Nigeria

Covenant University has been a training ground, and I can say I grew exponentially during my stay here. The university exists for one single purpose; to raise a new generation of leaders and that is the core area of my life that has been shaped the most. The ability to lead, deny the norm and chart new paths. To do things with confidence, having the right knowledge. Covenant University has so many platforms available for students to serve, and I have greatly benefited from a number of those platforms. The visionary university provides the right atmosphere to be nurtured and it will be very hard not to have a sense of purpose in the community. I deeply appreciate the core values of the institution. They really can make anyone stand out, who takes them in. Just the right ingredients for a change agent. If it is one thing I know about my stay, it is that I have transformed over these five years.

Moyosore Ale

Graduate of Computer Science | UX Designer and Researcher at BlueOptima, London

I remember coming into Covenant University confused with no idea of what God’s purpose for my life would be, but over the years my life began to take shape and form. I can boldly recall the words of the Chancellor, Dr. David Oyedepo, “A playboy today will be a play man tomorrow.” I have learnt diligence, responsibility, sacrifice, capacity building, possibility mentality, integrity and above all spirituality. I am leaving the four walls of Covenant but I am sure that Covenant will never leave me. The virtues and lessons will always be in my heart. Covenant is more than just a university but a way of life.

Karla Luke

Graduate of Banking and Finance | Project Coordinator, Ace of Spades Consult LTD

Covenant University changed my view on Christianity, friendships and relationships and also on prayer. My parents were in awe of how much I had changed and they still are. Covenant University has thought me things I would take with me after graduation. The CU way of life has thought me how to remain productive under pressure. In fact, CU has my heart!

Goodluck Ekere

Graduate of Business Administration | Sales and Marketing Officer at Sahara Group

While growing up, I was made to believe I was a duck who was created to avoid the storm, but what Covenant University has taught me in four years was the opposite. Her core values taught me to face the storm head-on. By the grace of God, I started three businesses while in the university: CREF Media, which I co-founded, Mentorships NG which I also cofounded and a consulting firm I founded called The DIY Leader. On this same platform (CU) I wrote a book titled ‘The Force of Positive Thinking.’ In less than a year, I got a National Campus Journalism Award; I was awarded Author of The Year 2018. As the Chancellor will always say, “Those who walk, walk with common sense. Those who run, run with principles. But those who fly, fly with instructions.” I am a product of instructions given at Covenant University.

Oluwasegun Enitan

Graduate of Economics | Executive Trainee at Guaranty Trust

Before coming to Covenant University, I thought the university was one of those conventional universities, however, I was astonished to realise that the university was a place that would prepare me to become a total man in life. This changed my whole orientation about the university, thereby giving me a sense of purpose and consciousness for every decision I made. Also, the spiritual contents of the university helped to shape my personal relationship with my heavenly father for a glorious future. I am convinced that coming to Covenant University has been a blessing to me in every aspect of life. I have built self-confidence, discipline, diligence and most importantly spiritual growth.

Christiana Ita Graduate of Petroleum Engineering | Customer Support Specialist at Cuva Tech

My five years spent at Covenant University was full of excellent learning opportunities and experiences, which added value to my life. It also gave a boost to my social life, through the wonderful people I met and how much I have learnt from them. The several opportunities made available at the university enhanced my life and learning skills. I am also grateful to the Department of Petroleum Engineering for the platform for overall development for improving my technical knowledge and for preparing me to be a corporate professional. Working with the Student Council of Covenant University was one opportunity I will forever be grateful for. My leadership, management, communication and people skills greatly improved. I worked with the most intelligent set of people and it helped me become a better team player. I applaud this world-class university for its conducive and serene learning environment. I must confess that the journey through Covenant University was worth it.

Stanley Chileke Graduate of Banking and Finance | 2018/2019 Chair, Student Council

Covenant University will forever remain my reference point Covenant University will forever remain my reference point for where to learn how to be successful with the fervent teachings of our father in faith, Dr. David Oyedepo. He gave me life-changing words and those words will forever ring in my heart as I journey on in life. Covenant University has made me live prepared. Covenant University made me aware that I am fully responsible for my life. To all the younger generation, if you are looking for just a university, check elsewhere, but if you are looking for a life-long learning university, come to Covenant University. I came to Covenant University in 2015 as one, but left as a thousand. Glory to God!

Ufuoma Oghuvwu Graduate of Political Science and International Relations | Senior Programs Associate, EiE Nigeria

Covenant University gave me some of my best people till date and in them I have found friends, family, mentors, purpose partners, etc. I would always be grateful for them. Looking back, I believe those activities prepared me for well-grounded life even though it did not always feel that way while in school. I had a good time in school and I actually enjoyed my 4 years in school. Coming from a christian secondary school, it was not so new to me hearing about God in school but in Covenant, I got to experience a knowledge of God I had never had before. I still go back to my TTG notes and my convocation thanksgiving sermon note till today because in them are invaluable lessons I pray to never lose sight of. I know CU graduates are known for having good work ethics but I feel this is a major highlight for me because it is my reality. The ability to combine various deliverables and strive to excel at them all is something I learnt while in school. I remember juggling my education, extra-curricular activities, tutoring students and serving in church while in school without it affecting my main aim of being in school.

Anjolaoluwa Adesina Graduate of Architecture | 3D Generalist & Interior designer

Covenant University I must say will forever be a great and positive influence in my life. My four-year stay in this institution really taught me a lot about life. It helped me develop a positive attitude towards work and discover more about myself. From the university's core values, my life has been moulded into the great person I am today. My spiritual life has grown tremendously; responsibility, integrity, diligence and possibility mentality have become my personal values. Words of wisdom from my dear Chancellor, Dr. David Oyedepo and the University Chaplains would forever be treasured in my heart. All my lecturers were approachable and willing to help in various ways. The university gave me the opportunity to meet different people with awesome personalities, who have impacted my life positively. I am so blessed and favoured to be a product of this great institution. Thank you.
