I visited Dr. Daniel Kolawole Olukoya, the General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries. Our communities are shaped by the values we uphold and the institutions that support our people. These visits offer an opportunity to reflect on the kind of society we want to build. Our focus remains on listening to Lagosians, understanding their needs and building a state where progress makes a real difference in people’s everyday lives.
