Olukoya said the initiative started in 2011 with the aim of encouraging youths in the church to work harder for excellence.

The General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries, Dr Daniel Olukoya has boasted that his church has produced the largest number of first-class graduates in Nigeria.

He stated this on Sunday during the ongoing 35th anniversary of the church and while presenting gift awards to 492 first-class graduates members of the church.

Olukoya said the initiative started in 2011 with the aim of encouraging youths in the church to work harder for excellence.

The 35th anniversary convention, titled, ‘Power from on high, ‘ started on August 16 and would end today, Sunday, August 18, with a thanksgiving and holy communion.

Olukoya said, “We are encouraging them to work hard, I believe MFM has the largest number of first-class graduates in Nigeria.

“In 2011, the Lord established a programme in MFM to encourage the youth. At the programme, I said to anybody who is a member of MFM and makes a first class, I will give them a car.

“Nineteen students made a first class that year, and I have given them cars, I did so at the second edition. But by the third edition, the programme galvanised MFM students to start working hard. We had 77 of them, and I couldn’t afford to give them 77 cars. I started giving money.

“The next year, it became 106. By the fifth edition in 2019, we had 329, and we gave them N250,000 each, and today, by the sixth edition, we have 492 graduates.”

Dignitaries, including Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun, and Governor of Delta State, Sherrif Oborevwori, were at the service.
