A New Dawn in Iyesi-Ota: Bishop Tom Samson Marks 60th Birthday With Historic Opening of Monarch University At Iyesi-Ota.
History will be made on 13th December 2025, as the General Overseer of Christ Royal Family International Church, Bishop Tom Samson, celebrates his 60th birthday in grand style—an event that coincides with the official opening of his long-awaited visionary project, Monarch University, located in Iyesi, Ota, Ogun State.
What began decades ago as a seed of faith thoughe from his school days has now blossomed into a monumental reality. For Bishop Samson, the opening of Monarch University will be more than a ceremony; it is the fulfilment of a dream he has carried through years of dedication, sacrifice, and unstoppable passion for education, empowerment, and nation-building.
The prestigious event is expected to attract the crème of society. The Governor of Ogun State, the Deputy Governor, distinguished Obas, renowned religious leaders, captains of industry, policymakers, international guests, and thousands of well-wishers will gather to honour a man whose life continues to inspire countless believers and communities across the globe.
Monarch University, a world-class institution envisioned to raise future leaders, innovators, and transformational minds, sits proudly within the evolving Royal City landscape in Iyesi-Ota—an expanse Bishop Samson began developing years ago with multiple educational, spiritual, and humanitarian projects. The university represents the next giant step in his mission to shape destinies and impact generations.
For the respected gospel preacher, author, and global revivalist, turning 60 is not just a milestone—it is a testimony. From humble beginnings to becoming one of Nigeria’s most influential Christian leaders, Bishop Samson has consistently pushed boundaries, demonstrating what faith, hard work, and vision can accomplish. The launching/Opening of Monarch University is yet another chapter in that remarkable journey.
The 2025 celebration promises to be a convergence of worship, gratitude, royalty, and intellectual renaissance, special lecture, cap meeting, etc. It is a moment when faith meets legacy, and when a personal birthday becomes a national spotlight on purpose and progress and destiny shaping.
As the world watches Iyesi-Ota on December 13th, one thing is clear: Bishop Tom Samson’s dream has taken flight—and Monarch University stands as a shining symbol of what is possible when God-given vision meets unstoppable determination, and a purpose-driven man who is ready to run with his destiny in his hands without fearing the world’s distraction.
