Pastor Adeboye was joined by his wife, Pastor Folu Adeboye, alongside prominent church leaders such as Pastor Joseph Obayemi, RCCG National Overseer Pastor Sunday Akande, and the management team of Peaceville International Academy, led by Head of School Dolapo Fatoki. The event also saw the presence of several board members, including Leke Adeoye, Olugbenga Omojola, Ayoola Jolayemi, Noah Osato, and Mrs. Busola Ogunsiji.
Reflecting on his own experiences, Pastor Adeboye expressed regret over the absence of such facilities during his university days and the general lack of quality sports infrastructure in Nigeria.
“A well-grassed stadium and a serene environment like this were not available in universities during our time. It is remarkable that God has made this possible in a secondary school, showing that He is truly on our side,” he said.
He offered prayers for those who contributed to the realization of the project and shared his vision for the school to become a globally recognized institution.
In her welcome address, Mrs. Folu Adeboye, the founder of the college, described the institution as a legacy made possible by God’s grace. She expressed gratitude to her husband for his steadfast support in bringing the school to life and emphasized the role of the sports facilities in nurturing Godly champions.
The unveiling ceremony also featured a novelty football match to commemorate Pastor Adeboye’s 83rd birthday. He performed the ceremonial kick-off for the match between Redemption City FC and Region 1 FC, which ended in a 4-0 victory for the home team.
Head of School Dolapo Fatoki emphasized that the facilities would be utilized effectively to promote the physical well-being of students and establish the school as a center for sports development in Ogun State and Nigeria at large.
