Dr Daniel Olukoya’s exclusive “Mountain Top University will kick off in October 2015” + Inside the N2.5 billion university
The fiery Shepherd in charge of Mountain of Miracles Church, Dr. Olukoya has finally declared that his multi-billion naira Mountain Top University will commence operation by October 2015.
The firebrand clergy in an exclusive chat via a live broadcast in his Church on Wednesday, August 26, 2015 stated that at last MTU will become officially operational in October.
“yes i am glad to confirm to you that Mountain Top University will begin operation in October 2015. Thus the 2015/2016 academic session will commence same month. I am also happy to inform you that we have gotten a new Vice Chancellor who will be revealed on Saturday, September 5, 2015 at our next Power Must Change Hands. All the facilities are ready and will be commissioned same month”
It would be recalled that the Ministry’s N2.5 billion university sits atop 100 acres (an acre comprises of six plots so 100 acres has 600 plots).
Information at our disposal revealed that the project commenced in 2010, inside the Prayer City along Lagos/Ibadan Expressway when the land was acquired and the registration for the project approved by the appropriate government agency.
The hostels and other infrastructure such as laboratories, hospitals and administrative blocks have been completed.
Mountain Top University has elected to adopt the Nomenclature College rather than Faculty as practised in contemporary universities abroad as well as the newly established ones in Nigeria. At full capacity, MTU will have at least six (6) undergraduate colleges and a postgraduate school. However, the university will take off with three Colleges consisting of courses that are not capital intensive and yet will make the university unique, innovative and responsive to the needs of the Nigerian society, especially in relation to industry, technology, food production and health. The colleges at take-off (Phase I) would be College of Basic and Applied Sciences, College of Environmental Sciences and College of Management and Social Sciences.
Dr. Olukoya is on record as the first scientist to establish an indigenous Molecular Biology and Biotechnology laboratory in Nigeria. One important contribution by Dr. Olukoya to biotechnology and health care delivery is the creation of a new type of pap (ogi) named Dogik, a weaning food that has improved nutritional qualities that can control diarrhea. The laboratory also ranks among the first to work on genes in Nigeria.
That Dr. Olukoya would become a mighty tool manifested in 1989, when Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries was given birth to in his sitting room at Yaba, with 24 worshippers. MFM has thousands of branches spread across Nigeria, Africa and Asia. A huge percentage of branches are also in the United States and Europe.
Dr. Kolawole Daniel Olukoya’s uncommon gift finds expression as a prophet, evangelist, teacher and preacher of the word of God. In addition to his over 80 scientific publications, he has written more than double that number of spiritual books, 150 of them, most of which are bestsellers. Prayer Rain, a prayer manual which has become a companion of not a few Christians across several denominations, has sold millions of copies. Besides, Dr. Olukoya has 70 Christian songs that he composed. His life and that of his wife, Pastor Shade and their son, Elijah Toluwani, are living proof that all power belongs to God
