Bishop David Oyedepo, Chancellor and Chairman of the Board of Regents of Covenant University, has revealed the nine schools that inspired the formation of the institution.

Speaking on Friday in Ogun state at the 19th Convocation of the Covenant University, Oyedepo said he studied nine world-class foreign universities before establishing the university.

According to him, he got inspiration after understudying Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Columbia, Caltech, MIT, Stanford, Duke, and Dartmouth universities.

“While nothing was copied, a lot of inspiration was drawn from those studies, which eventually led to the crafting of our core values, making our products very unique.

“My passion came alive to provide an alternative education, in terms of quality, that would rescue these young individuals from lifelong crises,” he said.

Covenant University currently ranks 1st in Nigeria and 6th in West Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa by the Times Higher Education World Universities Ranking 2025.
