LANDMARK UNIVERSITY DELEGATES SECURE TOP AWARDS AT RUIMUN CONFERENCE
At the Tuesday 9th April 2024 Chapel Service of Landmark University, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Kolawole Ajanaku congratulated the Landmark University student delegates who distinguished themselves by their Top-Award milestones at the Redeemer’s University Model United Nations (RUIMUN) Conference held from March 25th to 29th, 2024. He described their performances as a remarkable display of leadership skills, representative of their institution’s commitment to academic excellence and global citizenship. While encouraging other students to emulate them, he gave the outstanding students warm handshakes which were followed by a declaration of blessings upon them.
The conference, with the theme "Peace Prosperity and Sustainability: A Call to Action," attracted delegates from various tertiary institutions in Nigeria to deliberate on pressing global issues ranging from social and human rights issues to economic and financial challenges. Guided by the theme, delegates delved into the complexities of global affairs, proposing innovative solutions towards addressing the issues facing their respective nations. The Landmark University students’ exceptional performance earned them the title of “The Outstanding Delegation” among all participating institutions. King Ayodeji Oluwatobi distinguished himself as the “Best Delegate” from the United Nations Security Council Committee and was awarded the “Overall Best Delegate of the RUIMUN Conference,” an award which secured him full sponsorship to attend the Ghana Model United Nations Conference later in the year.
The Conference afforded delegates the opportunity to embark on an excursion to explore the cultural heritage of the indigenous people of Osun State at the National Commission for Museums and Monuments, Oshogbo, enriching their understanding of history and cultural practices.
The moment of celebration of these students who made the University proud was memorable and inspiring for the Landmark University Community.
