CHANCELLOR INSPIRES LMU COMMUNITY ON
On the 13th October 2015, Landmark University Community played host to the Chancellor, Dr. David Oyedepo at the Tuesday Chapel Service for the faculty, staff and students.
The Chancellor inspired the gathering on “Breakthrough Power of Vision”. He defined vision as an access to the realm of unlimited breakthrough. He stated that God has specific plan for everyone in life, noting that vision is a necessity for all the Children of God that desire success in their endeavors. The Bishop said that for someone to gain access to God’s purpose for his life, such person must be in the spirit and be willing to be led of God (Revelation 1:10, Galatia 5:25). He noted that vision makes one to enjoy peace and God’s company (Isaiah 48:21, Mark 16:20). Speaking with emphasis on the supernatural insight man needs to progress in life, the Chancellor remarked that, “no one arrives at a future he cannot see; without vision life is grounded and destiny is stranded. Destiny would never walk to you but you run into it. Work your vision out or it would never see the light of day. It takes a run to make a vision fulfilled, as there is no end to progress until you stop pressing (Philippians 3 verses 15).”
Appreciating the Chancellor for his visit, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Aize Obayan thanked God for the vision that birthed Landmark University and assured the Chancellor that all hands are on deck to ensure the fulfillment of the vision.
Professor Daniel Okunbor, a Fulbright Scholar and Professor of Computer Science, who was on a courtesy visit to Landmark University from Fayetteville State University, United State of America, had earlier addressed the University assembly at the service. He noted that his coming to the University has made a lasting mark on him, which he promised to take to Fayetteville State University. He implored the students to be proud of Landmark University and remain part of it even after graduation. “I have visited Covenant University but I was completely elated when I got here; please always be proud of this great University of yours,” the erudite scholar submitted.
It was quite an inspiring time at the Chapel Service for the University Community, having received vibrant charge from the duo of the great Visioner and Servant of God, Dr. David Oyedepo, and a renowned international scholar, Professor Daniel Okunbor, which is crucial to the attainment of new frontiers in driving the world-class agrarian vision of Landmark University.

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.
