The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has concluded plans to establish a school of Communication in Lagos state, in partnership with the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti.
The groundbreaking event, which is to be held on Thursday, 5th of February 2026, will be attended by very important personalities, academicians, officials of the Nigerian University Commission, FUOYE’s officials, to mention a few.
According to information available at our disposal, FUOYE will be offering a distance learning programme in the school for communication students and when it’s finished, will issue a globally-recognised certificate, confirming the credibility of the institution.
Speaking on the reason behind the initiative, Primate Ayodele stated that he has always loved communications as a course of study, and he has always wanted to impact people in such a way that will be of benefit to them.
He made it known that he once studied mass communication at a prestigious institution in Nigeria because of his love for the profession, but his ministry hasn’t given him the luxury of time to practice.
He explained that establishing a school of communication, and partnering with an institution like FUOYE is a dream come true, and beyond that, is an opportunity for people interested in communication studies to achieve their aims.
“I have always loved communication, this is why I love to associate with journalists too. It has always been my dream to contribute to communication studies in Nigeria, and this establishment is one of those ways God has led me to do it.
“I was once a communication student, and I enjoyed it; however, I wasn’t able to practice because of my ministry, but my love for it has never diminished for once.
“Establishing a communication school is a dream come true, and I appreciate FUOYE for partnering with me on this movement. This is a huge opportunity for those who may be interested in achieving their dreams.”
Speaking further, Primate Ayodele stated that he would be establishing more even beyond Nigeria, with plans to go to Ghana, the Benin Republic, and some other countries.
