The Chancellor of Landmark
University and Covenant Universities, Dr David Oyedepo has revealed how his
abducted son, children of governors and a relation to a Nigerian President were
rusticated from the school at different periods for failing to keep to the laid
down standards.
The Chancellor, who doubles as
the founder and general overseer of the Living Faith Church, said that the core
values of the school were drawn from the background of the need to raise
changed people who will change their world.
According to him, there was zero
attention to character when the school first started and needed to create a
platform that helps enhance the character aspect of learning and it is showing
today.
“I must say this; Governors have
come to pick their children from our campus. The daughter of our first
Vice-Chancellor was rusticated from the University for one year, my adopted son
was thrown out for one year at Covenant, so there is no white cow in the system
and that makes everybody shake and fear.
“If I must mention it, one of our
former Presidents had a relation that had a son rusticated and called me, I
said I am sorry, I do not get involved, please talk to the Vice-Chancellor.
“He said can I have his number, I
said no and we are still friends. Because the moment you make rules and you
abide by the rules yourself, everybody is forced to follow, and that is what we
are trying to do.
“We are in dire need of leaders
in our country and we will be wishing till death until we start raising the
kind of leaders we want by taking them through the principle of this kind of
training so that they can be there to effect changes.”
