The Fountain of Life Church (TFOLC) has announced plans for the third edition of the Daniel Taiwo Odukoya Memorial Lecture, an annual event established to celebrate the life, leadership, values and enduring legacy of its late founder, Pastor Daniel Taiwo Odukoya.
The memorial lecture is scheduled to be held on Saturday, June 20 at The Fountain of Life Church, Ilupeju, Lagos, beginning at 12 noon. The event is expected to attract business leaders, entrepreneurs, professionals, policymakers and members of the public for meaningful conversations on leadership, service and lasting societal impact.
The theme for this year’s lecture is, “One Life, Many Harvests: The Multiplier Effect of a People-Centred Life.” The theme underscores the belief that true leadership is measured not merely by personal achievements but by the lives transformed, individuals empowered and positive influence that continues long after one’s lifetime.
The 2026 edition will feature former Minister of Communication Technology, Dr. Omobola Johnson, as the guest lecturer. A renowned technology executive and respected corporate leader, Johnson is expected to share insights from her extensive experience in leadership, innovation, public service and nation-building, highlighting the importance of influence, service and sustainable impact in today’s rapidly changing world.
Pastor Odukoya was widely celebrated for his commitment to leadership development, family transformation, entrepreneurship and community advancement. Through decades of ministry and outreach, he inspired thousands to pursue purposeful living and contribute meaningfully to society. His legacy continues through the institutions he founded, the individuals he mentored and the values he championed.
Speaking ahead of the event, Dr. Deborah Enuha, Chair of the Memorial Lecture Planning Committee and daughter of the late cleric, said the annual lecture was designed not only to preserve Pastor Odukoya’s memory but also to inspire a new generation of leaders.
“This lecture is more than a remembrance event. It is a platform for preserving timeless leadership values and inspiring individuals to build lives that create lasting impact. It is a call to influence, serve and leave a legacy that outlives us,” she said.
Enuha noted that attendance is free and open to the public. She added that participants should look forward to thought-provoking discussions, practical leadership insights and reflections on how one life can positively influence generations and create enduring impact.
