LANDMARK WINS 1ST POSITIONS IN SINGLE AND GROUP CATEGORIES TO QUALIFY FOR NATIONAL CODET COMPETITION
Engineering students of Landmark University have won 1st Positions for both single and group categories in the 2019 edition of Committee of Deans of Engineering and Technology of Nigerian Universities (CODET) North-Central Zonal competition on Tuesday, 25th June 2019, to qualify for the National finals of the competition to be held in Abuja later this year. The competition which was between the host institution – Landmark and the Federal University of Agriculture, Markurdi was highly contested with high-tech problem-solving inventions of the engineering students.
While welcoming the students to the event, the Vice-Chancellor of the host institution, Professor Adeniyi Olayanju, urged the students to strive towards attaining remarkable innovations in their respective engineering fields. According to him, without engineering there is no nation’s building. “Engineering with remarkable innovations drives growth and development. It is one thing to impact knowledge on you as students, especially theoretical, but it is another thing for you to acquire skills, more importantly with the right attitude. So for me, it is all about knowledge, skills and the right attitude for you to achieve the desired remarkable innovations in your chosen fields,” he said.
Professor Olayanju praised the CODET for their foresight, saying it would greatly assist in creating the enabling platform for the emergence of new remarkable engineers among the younger ones.
In his opening speech, the Chief Judge for the competition, Professor Babatope Alabadan who is the Dean, Faculty of Engineering, Federal University Oye-Ekiti, stated that the competition was organised to encourage hands-on activities among students in the engineering fields across the nation with a view to helping them translate theoretical knowledge to practical in their various fields thereby solving human challenges. He added that the competition in its evaluation would take into cognizance the problem, motivation, approach adopted, uniqueness, local content, knowledge of students in the area of research and the significance of the project among others. With him were Professor M.A. Akintunde Dean, Faculty of Engineering, the Federal University of Technology, Akure and Dr O.A. Oni Dean, Faculty of Engineering, Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti.
Earlier, Professor Christian Osueke, the Dean of the College of Engineering, Landmark University, described the competition as a veritable platform for students to test their engineering prowess with other competitors. He thanked CODET for the honour and recognition given to the Institution to host the North-Central zonal stage of the competition.
“We are happy for this singular honour from CODET and we also look forward to a better final outing at Abuja in August,” he said.

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.
