DOF 2022 ORIENTATION FOR SCHOLARS
Over 28 David Oyedepo Foundation (DOF) scholars of Landmark University joined their counterparts in Covenant University virtually for the 2nd Semester Orientation programme for the 2021/2022 academic session on Friday, May 20, 2022. The Landmark University scholars who cut across different levels and departments of the University converged at the University SDGs Exhibition Centre for the orientation programme. The programme is designed to nurture the scholars into leaders who will put their learned skills to work in leading organizations and communities.
While speaking to the scholars, the Director, DOF Mrs Love Ogah harped on commitment to excellence as the bedrock for the realization of their dreams. She urged them to always be good ambassadors of the scholarship programme.
In fulfilling its vision, the programme featured two alumni of the DOF to share their experiences during and after DOF. These were Mr Zebulun Ojo, a pathfinder Class of 2020 and former Student Council Chairman of Landmark University; and Mr Ejiro of Covenant University who stimulated the students with their stories during and after the scholarship towards refocusing the perspective scholars in line with the vision of DOF.
Speaking on the topic, “Life After Graduation,” Messrs. Ojo and Ejiro encouraged the scholars to always seek knowledge, noting that it would not only distinguish them but also help them to maximize opportunities when they come. According to Mr Ojo, DOF helped him to develop his mind and capacity to take up responsibilities. The scholars were thereafter charged to possess a stakeholder and value-adding mentality, uphold high-level integrity and think about creating jobs if they would emerge great leaders.
The scholars also got their leadership tasks for the semester which included community development projects, book reviews, Summer Volunteering Work Experience (SVWE) and craftwork.

The event showcased the remarkable accomplishments of students, educators, and institutions whose dedication is shaping the future of Nigeria’s education system.
Reflecting on the double recognition, Vice-Chancellor Professor Kolawole Ajanaku expressed his gratitude to the Landmark University proprietor under the Chairmanship of the Chancellor, Dr. David Oyedepo and the Pro-Chancellor, Pst (Mrs) Faith Oyedepo for the platform of Landmark University and their unwavering support. “This recognition is a celebration of our shared commitment to redefining education and creating transformative leaders for global impact,” he remarked.
