The General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries, Dr Daniel Olukoya, has celebrated his wife, Folashade Olukoya, after she successfully passed her PhD examination in Fine Art at the Royal College of Art in London.

He disclosed that his wife’s doctoral research was titled “Material Reformation: Re-empowerment, Resistance and Hope Through the Processual Metaphors of Paper”.
The cleric said her accomplishment demonstrated that serving God did not have to come at the expense of academic and professional development.
He added that MFM was committed not only to spiritual growth but also to nurturing people with outstanding intellectual, scientific, artistic and professional achievements.
Olukoya encouraged young people to draw lessons from his wife’s success, saying determination, discipline, hard work and faith could help them achieve their ambitions.
The Royal College of Art’s website lists Folashade among its doctoral researchers.
Her research examines how art and material processes can be used to explore trauma, resistance and the empowerment of women who have experienced abuse.
The announcement came shortly after the couple celebrated their 37th wedding anniversary on November 11.
They got married in 1989.
Olukoya said the achievement would be celebrated by MFM members across the world and expressed anticipation for his wife’s graduation ceremony.
The Royal College of Art was ranked the world’s leading university for Art and Design in the 2026 QS World University Rankings by Subject, retaining the position for the 12th consecutive year.
Daniel Olukoya holds a first-class degree in Microbiology from the University of Lagos and a doctorate in Molecular Genetics from the University of Reading.
He founded Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries in July 1989, beginning with a prayer meeting attended by about 25 people at his Lagos residence.
The ministry has since expanded into an international Pentecostal church with branches in Nigeria and other countries.
It is known for its emphasis on prayer, deliverance and holiness.
