Forty new electric buses from China have arrived at Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State, weeks after Bishop David Oyedepo announced the commencement of a transport system within the church premises.
The arrival was reported on September 21, 2026, by ChurchGist, which announced that the 40 buses had arrived at Canaanland and that more electric buses are expected in the coming days and weeks.
The development follows Oyedepo’s earlier announcement of plans to introduce a transport system at Canaanland, the headquarters of Living Faith Church Worldwide, also known as Winners’ Chapel.
SilverbirdTV reported that the new buses are expected to support the planned transportation arrangement within the premises.
According to the ChurchGist report, the latest 40 electric buses are separate from another 115 new buses recently purchased by the church.
The report also stated that the church has counted at least 228 buses acquired within one year.
The report described the development as notable because the church had stated that there was no budget for the purchase of buses in 2026.
However, the figure of 228 buses is a figure reported by ChurchGist and has not been independently verified in the available reports.
The arrival of the electric buses represents a new addition to the church’s transportation fleet as preparations continue for the planned transport system at Canaanland.
Canaanland hosts major church services and programmes, making transportation an important part of movement around the large premises.
The new buses are therefore expected to be incorporated into the transportation arrangement announced by the church.
However, specific operational details about the electric buses have not been provided in the reports reviewed.
Information on their routes, fares, charging arrangements and the exact date the new transport system will become operational remains unclear.
ChurchGist also reported that additional electric buses are expected to arrive in the coming days and weeks, suggesting that the 40 buses may be part of a larger expansion of the church’s transportation fleet.
The latest development comes as the church moves forward with the transport plans announced by Oyedepo, with further details expected as more buses arrive and the system takes shape.
