He averred that the school is committed to taking the lead in innovative and solution driven projects such as renewable energy. “From all ramifications, energy is key to sustenance. Power is central to any meaningful development in an organization and society as a whole. If the drive to achieve Sustainable Development Goals is real in the society, premium is quest for a reliable power supply supportive of uninterrupted developmental and research activities made the University Management consider your presentation as capable of adding value to our University.”
He noted that RENAFRIC as an organization is replete with Renewable Energy Experts producing Sustainable Biomass Electricity at Zero Opex from Agricultural Waste through Four per Hour Pyrolysis Plant. Professor Olayanju emphasized that the organization is capable of producing sustainable Zero Opex 1,080KWh or 9,460.8MWh of Biomass Electricity per annum in the first year of operation, into the Captive Grid of the University. When the project materializes, it is expected to create jobs and training for students on PYROLYSIS TECHNOLOGY, being conscious of nature which is environmentally friendly power supply, he added. Noting the commitment of the University to best global practice and ability to solve indigenous challenges for global recognition the Vice-Chancellor believed that collaboration with relevant top notch organizations, and driving steady power supply is irreversible, as the University looks forward to a cross breeding of ideas and accessing technical expertise of RENAFRIC in boosting the institution’s power generation and supply capacity.
During his presentation, the Leader of the Group, Engineer Abiola Oluwaseuniyi revealed some benefits of the project as 24hours power supply to the University community and its environ, free Biofuel equipment, training of staff and student amongst others. Engr. Oluwaseuniyi noted that the plant when completed would provide immediate employment to over hundred people, promote a healthy and safe environment as well as positioning Landmark University as attaining new frontiers in the area of alternative energy which would in turn save the Nation from the epileptic power generation and supply.
He however applauded the agrarian vision of the Proprietor base which he said will indeed restore the dignity of the black race. “Landmark is where people are approaching Nigeria to make Nigeria the real Nigeria. Nigeria has the best raw material to develop the technology that can create monumental development for the continent and we can domesticate electricity industry here”.

In a bid to expand its humanitarian reach and foster greater community engagement, the Nigerian Red Cross Society, Irepodun Local Government Chapter has expressed interest in establishing a collaboration with Landmark University on Wednesday 10th April 2024. The proposed partnership aims to establish a Red Cross detachment on the university campus, offering students, faculty, and staff an avenue to participate actively in humanitarian efforts.

He highlighted the existing involvement of university faculty and staff as members and officials of the Red Cross, emphasizing the need for a dedicated detachment on campus to further integrate the university community into the society's initiatives. Members of the Landmark University community in the society were Dr Bamidele Fakinle (Head of the Department of Chemical Engineering) the Secretary of the Society, and Dr Marion Adebiyi (Head of the Department of Computer Science) a member.
In response, the Vice-Chancellor of Landmark University expressed appreciation for the consideration of the university in the Red Cross's expansion plans. Drawing parallels between the vision and values of both organizations, particularly in the areas of volunteering and leadership, he underscored the significance of sacrifice as a core value shared by the university and the Red Cross.
Corroborating the Vice-Chancellor were the positive remarks by other members of the university's management present at the meeting, who voiced their support for the acceptance and operation of the Red Cross on the Landmark University campus. The proposed collaboration holds the promise of enhancing the university's commitment to community service and humanitarianism, providing valuable opportunities for students, faculty, and staff to contribute meaningfully to societal welfare.
As discussions progress between Landmark University and the Nigerian Red Cross Society, both parties are poised to embark on a partnership that exemplifies the spirit of collaboration and shared values.
