Odukoya was born on June 15, 1956 in the city of Kaduna, colonial Nigeria, where he was also raised.

He had his primary and secondary education at Baptist Primary School, Kigo Road, Kaduna and St. Paul’s College (now known as Kufena College, Wusasa) Zaria respectively, before proceeding to the University of Ibadan in 1976 where he obtained a degree in petroleum engineering in 1981.

As a petroleum engineer, he started work at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) in April 1982 after the compulsory one-year National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) scheme, and served there until his voluntary retirement in January 1994 after his call to the ministry.

In 1980, Odukoya met Bimbo Williams at the University of Ibadan and the two struck a relationship that led to their marriage in 1984. The marriage produced three children.

On December 10, 2005, Bimbo Odukoya, along with 102 other people, died on the crashed Sosoliso Airlines Flight 1145.

He later got married to Nomthi Odukoya as second wife, who also reportedly died of cancer in November 2021 after battling with it for two years.

Taiwo Bimbo Odukoya co-founded The Fountain of Life Church in 1992 with a stated vision, “to teach men and women the art of building successful relationships and the principles of leadership so they can be what they are created to be.”

The church has several missions in South Africa, the United Kingdom, United States of America, Switzerland, Kenya, Equatorial Guinea, Republic of Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Republic of Benin and Togo.
