MANAGEMENT RECEIVES LANDMARK ALUMNI ASSOCIATION EXECUTIVES
The Management of Landmark University under the able leadership of the Ag. Vice-Chancellor, Professor Charity Aremu on Tuesday 2nd November 2021 received the Executives of the Landmark Alumni Association (LUAA) led by its President, Mr Nweke-Love Henry.
Receiving the set of Pathfinders, Professor Charity Aremu noted that the meeting was necessitated to bridge the gap between the association and their Alma mater. According to her, “There should be a connection between us. We need to come together to share views, interests and chart a way forward in our University. When we say we aspire to get to global heights, the Alumni should move also. She further urged them to explore the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Landmark Strategic Goals on research and grant applications while mentoring the undergraduates on campus. “We will be glad to harvest information, details, feedback and data from you, this we believe would help our ranking and students subscription,” the Ag. Vice-Chancellor noted.
Earlier, the Registrar, Miss Fola Oyinloye who warmly welcomed the Alumni Executives eulogized the pioneering class for raising the bar of standards in the University. “Nothing gladdens our hearts like having the Pathfinders giving back to the University, some of you are Faculty and Staff here and you have been making us proud,” the Registrar said. She, then, urged them to be accountable to the vision of the association, positively impact the younger ones and put up strategies on how to achieve the vision.
In his response, the President of the Landmark University Alumni Association (LUAA), Mr Nweke-Love Henry stated that though the association is still young, they have plans to increasingly add value to the association, the university and the world at large. Mr Nweke-Love added that the association has indeed acknowledged the hand of fellowship with all sense of responsibility as he appreciated the University Management for the invitation.
The meeting, which addressed some salient issues such as the welfare of the alumni, mentoring the undergraduates, transcript processing and synergy, was hoped to hold once in a semester in order to further bridge the gap between the association and the university management.

LANDMARK UNIVERSITYS LIFE APPLICABLE EDUCATION SYSTEM RECOGNIZED AS MAX AFRICA LAUNCHES INTERNSHIP PROGRAMME
Landmark University's distinctive approach to education, centred on life-applicable and life-transforming learning, received validation this week when representatives from MAX Africa visited the institution to seek collaboration for their second internship program. The visit underscored the high regard organizations have for Landmark’s graduates, known for their competence and productivity in the workplace.
During the meeting, MAX Africa's Chief Technology Officer, Mr Olusegun Leigh, unveiled the company’s new internship initiative designed to empower young innovators and leaders in Africa’s mobility sector. Leigh expressed admiration for Landmark University’s alumni, who, he noted, have consistently demonstrated exceptional dedication, resilience, and leadership within MAX Africa. He introduced Mr Kefas El-Olam, a graduate of Landmark University who is the Senior Product Manager, MAX. "Our first point of call for this new phase is Landmark University, primarily because of the exceptional value delivered by Landmark graduates who joined us in the first phase of the internship programme. Their resilience, ability to drive results, and leadership qualities have made a lasting impression," Leigh said, emphasizing how these qualities align with MAX Africa’s mission to address broader industry challenges by cultivating skilled professionals across the continent.
Adding to this, MAX Africa’s Digital Strategist, Mr Adewunmi Oshilaja, highlighted the soft skills and professionalism of Landmark’s graduates. “Beyond technical expertise, Landmark graduates have displayed strong leadership qualities and high standards of professionalism,” he stated. "The core of our strategy is to build well-rounded leaders. As much as we want our interns to gain hands-on experience, we are also committed to equipping them with skills in business communication, team management, and workplace etiquette.”
The upcoming three-month internship program was further detailed by MAX Africa's Human Resource Manager, Mrs Bosede Otaigbe, who described it as a transformative opportunity for participants. She noted that interns would receive intensive training in both technical and interpersonal skills vital for industry success. “Interns will be assigned responsibilities similar to full-time employees and will be evaluated at the end of the program. Those who excel will be offered full-time positions,” she announced. To facilitate applications, MAX Africa has provided QR codes for interested students, who will undergo a thorough screening process to ensure that only the most qualified candidates are selected.
In response, the Vice-Chancellor of Landmark University expressed appreciation to MAX Africa for recognizing the university’s talents and choosing Landmark as a major recruitment partner. He attributed the leadership qualities displayed by students to the legacy of Chancellor Dr David Oyedepo and affirmed the university’s confidence in the students' readiness to embrace this opportunity. He also highlighted Landmark University’s recent recognition as Nigeria's second-best university in the Times Higher Education rankings, further showcasing the institution’s commitment to excellence.
The Registrar also conveyed gratitude to the MAX Africa team and assured them of Landmark University's full support in achieving the program’s goals. Other members of the university’s management expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, seeing it as a significant step towards advancing opportunities for students, the university, and Africa at large.
