Bishop David Oyedepo, the chancellor of Covenant University, revealed on Friday that he has not earned any wages since the institution’s inception.
Oyedepo, the founder of Living Faith Church, announced this at Covenant University’s 19th convocation.
The clergyman emphasised that the success stories and personal growth of the students were his actual rewards.
During the ceremony, the institution granted first and higher degrees and presented prizes to 1,607 graduates.
Oyedepo emphasised their contributions to many sectors including aviation, fashion, banking, and ICT.
“I said this before God. I have not earned any wages from Covenant University since its inception. Your testimonies of success and breakthroughs in different fields of endeavour have been my earnings and wages.
“You are created to be a contributor. Find a place to contribute. You cannot be a contributor and be a failure. You will be part of the solution and not those who are problems,” he said.
