The institution’s Director of Administration, Dr. Tosin Awolalu, quoted the provost, Pastor Obafemi Martins as saying that this year’s anniversary is a unique one because “apart from giving out awards of excellence to deserving members of the public in Nigeria and abroad, three-floor building donated by the founder of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries, Dr. Daniel K. Olukoya will be dedicated and formally handed over to the seminary.
