Olukoya, wife honoured in UK for community development
The General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries, Dr Daniel Olukoya, and his wife, Dr. Folashade Olukoya, have been celebrated for their exceptional contributions to community development and leadership, receiving the Global Reputation Forum and 26th Gathering of Africa’s Best Platinum Awards in London.
The awards, conferred by the Financial Times, Bracken London, and the Global Reputation Forum, acknowledged the Olukoyas’ transformative impact on lives and their exemplary leadership within the faith community and beyond.
According to GRF award organizers, Prof. Hepburn Simeon and Dr. Vyone, the Olukoyas’ dedication to spiritual and social development and their efforts in uplifting communities globally made them deserving of the recognition.
“The couple and their ministry, MFM, have distinguished themselves through their dedication to spiritual and social development. This award acknowledges their transformative influence on countless lives and the exceptional example they set within the faith community and beyond,” they said.
The GAB Awards also highlighted Olukoya’s impact, describing him as a leader who has used his influence and resources to empower communities and individuals worldwide.
The founder of the GAB Awards, Femi Okutubo, praised Olukoya’s commitment to initiatives such as vocational training, entrepreneurship development, financial aid, and scholarship programs, which have helped create opportunities for many underprivileged individuals.
“Olukoya is a man with a heart of gold. His passion for transforming lives is unmatched. As the first Nigerian to clone genes and a prolific author of scientific papers, his contributions to science and education are as remarkable as his faith-driven community work,” Okutubo said.
Dr. Folashade Olukoya, who accepted the awards on behalf of her husband, emphasised the importance of making a positive impact as part of their life’s mission.
“We are all created for God’s pleasure. My husband and I, along with the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries and Mountain Top University, are committed to making impactful contributions and inspiring societal change. By God’s grace, touching lives and winning souls remain at the core of what we do,” she said.
