The General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), Dr Daniel Olukoya, has credited his ministry for producing the highest number of first-class graduates from Nigerian universities.
The revered cleric disclosed this during the 35th anniversary of the church on Sunday, August 18, 2024.
The General Overseer presented car gifts to 492 first-class graduates members of the church, to continue the tradition, which he started in 2011 to encourage youths in the church to work harder for excellence.
The three-day anniversary convention, titled ‘Power from on high,' started on August 16 and ended on Sunday, with a thanksgiving and holy communion.

Speaking at the event, Olukoya said, “We are encouraging them to work hard, I believe MFM has the largest number of first-class graduates in Nigeria.
“In 2011, the Lord established a programme in MFM to encourage the youth. At the programme, I said to anybody who is a member of MFM and makes a first class, I will give them a car.
“Nineteen students made a first class that year, and I have given them cars, I did so at the second edition. But by the third edition, the programme galvanised MFM students to start working hard. We had 77 of them, and I couldn’t afford to give them 77 cars. I started giving money.
“The next year, it became 106. By the fifth edition in 2019, we had 329, and we gave them ₦250,000 each, and today, by the sixth edition, we have 492 graduates.”
