LANDMARK CROSSES THE FIRST 1000 BENCHMARK IN SCOPUS
May 15, 2020 is celebration day at Landmark as the University just crossed her first - 1000 documents fully indexed in Scopus Journals. Of these numbers, a total of 432 are published in Gold Open access while the remaining 574 are Green.
This intentional feat followed the reawakening call of 2017, thereby making research and publishing at Landmark to be at a steadily upward pace with each year witnessing immense increase in the number of documents published and indexed in the Scopus database (The official publication and indexing platform for ranking world leading Universities). We can liken our research exploits to the word of the Lord in Isaiah 9:8 KJV which say “The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel”. Having keyed into the ever-increasing teachings and admonitions of Our Chancellor, Dr. David Oyedepo and the exploit of Our Sister University, Covenant, the University has since become a hub of research activities most leading to high impact publications. Taking a giant leap from the 2017 record of 75 Scopus indexed documents, LMU went on to record a whopping 228 documents in 2018 and this drastically increased to 387 for 2019. As at the time of writing this report, a total of 160 documents have already been indexed in Scopus for the year 2020. Indeed, the Lord has been gracious to us at LMU.

CHANCELLOR CHARGES STUDENTS ON TIME MANAGEMENT AS THEY EMBARK ON HOLIDAYS
The Chancellor, Dr David Oyedepo has enthused students of Landmark University to spend the 2023/2024 Omega semester holiday wisely. He gave the admonition during the 2023/2024 Omega semester Closing assembly organized by the management on Friday, July 19, 2024.
During his address, the Chancellor, Dr. David Oyedepo, underscored the importance of time management, emphasizing that while everyone possesses the same 24 hours, the difference lies in how it is utilized. He attributed the challenges faced by many youths to unproductive time management and urged the students to embrace every vacation as an opportunity for personal growth.
“This is your era of preparation for future success,” Dr. Oyedepo asserted. “Fill your time with productive engagements.” He also commended the faculty and staff for their dedication to mentoring and impacting the lives of the students. He, therefore, declared God’s blessing upon the University community.
The closing assembly also featured inspiring addresses from key university officials, with a strong emphasis on time management and personal development. Earlier in the assembly, the Secretary to the Board of Regents, Pastor (Dr) Daniel Rotimi highlighted the significance of gratitude, urging the university community to thank God for all the achievements during the 2023/2024 academic year. Drawing inspiration from 1 Peter 2:9, he reminded the students of their identity as children of God and encouraged them to embrace their status as kings and queens. He also extended appreciation to the proprietors and the Board of Regents for their unwavering commitment to the university’s development.
The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Kolawole Ajanaku, represented by his Deputy, Professor John Ojediran, congratulated the students on successfully completing the Omega semester, marking the end of the academic session. He recapped notable events of the year, including the university's impressive position in the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings, student development activities like TEDx, the Legacy Conference of LMU student leaders, the Chancellor’s Cup, and the career fair among others. He also highlighted awards received by both staff and students, strategic collaborations to advance the university's vision, and the promotion of academic staff. While looking ahead, he outlined events to conclude the session most especially the "Towards a Total Graduate"—a custom course for the graduating class. He advised non-graduating students embarking on holidays to maximize their time by engaging in productive activities. In his closing remarks, the Vice-Chancellor thanked the management, staff, and students for their contributions to Landmark University's success during the academic year. While wishing the students a safe journey to their various homes, the Vice-Chancellor reaffirmed the University’s continuous commitment to holistic student development and academic excellence.
The Dean, the College of Pure and Applied Sciences, Professor Ayodele Adebiyi gave his goodwill message on behalf of other college deans, bidding their students a safe journey home.
In the course of the event, the 2024/2025 Landmark University Student Council members were unveiled by the Dean of Students Affairs, Dr Abimbola Oluyori. The Chaplain blessed them, commissioning them for the task ahead in the coming academic year.
