The General Overseer of MFM, Dr
Daniel Olukoya, made the announcement in Lagos at the monthly live broadcast
programme of the church, tagged, ‘Power Must Change Hand’, which was monitored
in Abuja.
He said 180 First Class graduates in
the 2014 academic year and two others, who received NYSC Presidential honours
after completing the National Youth Service Corps scheme, would get N500,000 each.
Olukoya said the First Class honours
award, which started with 12 students, had risen to 180, explaining that it was
meant to encourage hard work among students.
He said the award was put in place to
reward members of MFM, who were dedicated to their academic work, while also
creating time to serve God.
A pastor, Shade Olukoya, and Vice
Chancellor, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Prof. Bamitale Omole,
presented the award to the recipients.
Omole lauded the recipients for
their dedication to their academic work and also serving God.
He commended the students for making
themselves, families and the church of God proud through their hard work.
Omole urged the recipients to
appreciate the grace of God upon their lives, noting that many of their peers,
who started with them, could not complete their courses for different reasons.
He called on other churches to
emulate MFM by encouraging hardworking students through similar awards.
