LANDMARK AND BREDHUB DELIBERATE ON LEVERAGING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND ROBOTICS INNOVATIONS
“If industrialization would suffice, robotics and artificial intelligence are some of the thematic areas that call for attention”, such was the words of the Acting (Ag.) Vice-Chancellor, Professor Charity Aremu while receiving the Bliss Robot Education Hub Foundation (BREDHUB) at a meeting on artificial intelligence and robotic technology and innovations held on Friday, February 18, 2022.
She noted the fact that Africa is yet to be fully involved in AI and Robotics technology as compared to other continents. Recalling the mission of Landmark University, the Vice-Chancellor noted that to raise a generation of breadwinners, they must be equipped with relevant skills that would meet up with the global challenges. “We can look at our immediate environment to develop solutions that would impact the pro-poor in the society”, she reiterated.
The CEO/MD BREDHUB, Mr Ahamefule Michael, reeling the purpose of the visit, stated that his organization provides learning materials that have simplified coding, robotics and artificial intelligence for prospective students across Africa. Mr Ahamefule made it known that acquired robotic knowledge can be applied to everyone’s daily activities, as he encouraged participants to garner relevant skills in AI and robotics since the world is going in this direction. He appreciated Landmark University Management for receiving his team with so much enthusiasm. Expressing hope that Landmark University would emerge the thirty-seventh institution where BREDHUB would have its meaningful presence, he stated that there are thirty-six Institutions around the world with which BREDHUB is collaborating. He, thereafter, urged participants to embrace the innovations with the intentions of hitting global relevance and limelight.
Bliss Robot Education Hub Foundation (BREDHUB) team later had a physical presentation, showcasing robotics and artificial intelligence at the Landmark University International Exhibition Centre (IEC), which inspired students from the Departments of Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Information Engineering (EIE) and Computer Science, who were in attendance.

NIGERIAN RED CROSS SEEKS COLLABORATION WITH LANDMARK UNIVERSITY
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.
Mr. James Ibiwoye, Chair of the Nigerian Red Cross in Irepodun Local Government, presented the organization's intentions during a meeting with the University management. 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. Together, they aim to create a platform for fostering a culture of service and selflessness within the university community, ultimately making a positive impact on the broader society.
