Oluwaseyi Nathaniel Ashiru exemplifies the transformative power of FECA Nigeria, rising from a dedicated chapter member to a national leader whose influence continues to shape the organization's mission of redeeming the desolation of our land and generation. A Computer Science graduate from ESCAE BENIN University, he has evolved into a proficient Full Stack web developer, leveraging his technical expertise to support ministry tools, chapter websites, and digital outreaches that amplify FECA's reach across Nigeria's 150+ chapters. Now based in Abuja with his family, Oluwaseyi balances professional innovation with unwavering kingdom commitment, embodying the multifaceted excellence FECA instills in its members—from coding solutions for conventions to mentoring young developers in chapters like Ibafo.
Personal Profile and Passions
Born on November 17th, Oluwaseyi's hobbies—God, poetry, and music—reveal a creative soul deeply rooted in worship. His favorite meal of fried Irish potatoes, egg, plantain, and chicken sauce reflects his love for hearty, communal Nigerian flavors, often shared during post-convention fellowships or zonal retreats. A guiding word, "The future is not real until it becomes today," underscores his pragmatic vision, urging FECAites to act decisively in programs like Freshers Welcome Banquet (FWB) and Save Generation Next (SGN), turning tomorrow's dreams into today's revivals. Joining FECA in 2006 at Iba Chapter in Lagos Zone (home to 11 vibrant chapters), he quickly immersed himself in weekly meetings, outreaches, and keyboard sessions, much like Ephraim Hosanna's passionate Calabar-to-Nsukka journey.
Progressive Leadership Ladder
Oluwaseyi's ascent mirrors FECA's structured growth—from chapter executives (Papae/Mamae) to national oversight—proving the organization's discipleship model works:
- Assistant General Secretary (2006-2008): Handled minutes, correspondences, and reports at Iba Chapter, building administrative precision vital for congresses.
- Vice President (Mamae/Pamae role, 2008-2010): Supported the Papae in spiritual oversight, outreaches, and raking sessions, fostering unity amid Lagos Zone's bustle.
- President (2010-2011): Led Iba Chapter through conventions, cell groups, and evangelism, embodying "Keep the Vision Burning" by prioritizing souls over schedules.
- Zonal Secretary (2011-2012): Coordinated Lagos Zone's 11 chapters, streamlining zonal congresses and reports to Western Regional leaders.
- Zonal Coordinator (2012-2014): Oversaw zone-wide activities, from Spread outreaches to retreats, preparing ground for higher calls.
- Western Regional Coordinator (2014-2016): Managed zones like Lagos, Edo (9 chapters), Delta (10), Ogun (2), Ondo (2), and emerging Osun, bridging to nationals during Malachy Onuwa's presidency.
His leadership pinnacle in FECA was when he served as the National President (2016-2018), succeeding Malachy at the "Kingdom First" convention (August 17-21, 2016, Benin City). As the 12th president, inaugurated amid Pastor Ezekiel Atang's founding tales, he led 10,000+ members through the landmark "JESUS" convention (August 15-19, 2018, FGGC Bwari, Abuja). There, he shared preparation tips via videos, emphasizing Spirit-led focus amid expansions. Responsibilities included NEC meetings, controversy resolutions, and nationwide coordination—handing over amid growth to Chinonso Okoye's 2018-2020 tenure.
Professional and Ministerial Impact
Beyond FECA, Oluwaseyi's career shines: CEO of Business Play Ltd (AI-driven sales efficiency), co-founder/head of IT at Ona Services (outsourcing tech), and roles at Jireh Travels, Northstone Shelters, even Director of Student Affairs at ESCAE. These honed skills in PR (Nigerian Institute certificate), IT leadership, and business advising, which he funnels into FECA—perhaps powering fecanigeria.org sermons or WhatsApp directories that helped Ephraim find Nsukka FECA. His poetry and music enrich conventions, blending tech-savvy with prophetic depth, much like PapaDee's (Adeolu Ogunnubi) relational coaching.
Family and Legacy
Married and family-oriented in Abuja, Oluwaseyi models balanced living, prioritizing God amid deadlines—a beacon for student FECAites juggling academics like Ephraim's medicine studies. His story echoes founders' sacrifices: post-1990 letter-writing evolving into nationwide impact, with divine leadership picks like Dr. Edak's era.
Why Connect?
For web devs, leaders, or visionaries, Oluwaseyi offers mentorship on kingdom-tech fusion, leadership progression, or Abuja networking (North-West's 12+ chapters). Engage via Facebook for poetry shares, convention insights, or business wisdom—turning "future" into "today" for FECA's next wave. His Iba roots to national helm prove: seek Kingdom first, and opportunities pursue you.
