LMU KICKS OFF 2019 OMEEGA SEMESTER
It was an elating sight to behold on 7th January 2019, as Faculty and staff of the University gathered at the Multipurpose Hall to hold the Opening Assembly after the yuletide. The meeting held in an atmosphere of jubilations and thanks to God for bringing all back from journies made during the break.
After a brief announcement by the Registrar, Dr. James Ndako, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Adeniyi Olayanju said that he was glad to welcome all Faculty and Staff to the campus following the short Christmas and Alpha Semester Break in 2018/2019 academic session. “We appreciate God for His love, faithfulness and protection over our lives all through the Break, noting His mercies that saw us through our journeys back to our amazing campus. I am confident that you are truly refreshed for fresh vision-driven actions in the New Year. I trust God for the release of the spirit of faith on LMU community in bringing to reality a fulfillment of Dominion Prophecy with respect to Agrarian Revolution mandate of the University.”
Citing the book of Ecclesiastes, “there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven” (Ecclesiastes 3:1), he noted that this is the time for the consolidation on the exciting leaps the University graciously took last semester, hoping the grace of the Yuletide break and Dominion Prophecy were ample enough for all to deploy greater efforts in Omega Semester for a surpassing result.
The Vice-Chancellor stressed that the University would not compromise her continuous improvement stance in all facets of her operations, as it is expedient that all put preference on cooperation above competition, and corporate goals above personal interest for speedy actualization of the University’s goal.
“In unity we stand should continuously be our watchword as exemplified last semester in our publication drive, so that our efforts be doubled to yield multiple fold results, which is attainable in our context, where we receive as much as we can see and hold in hand as much as what our heart can conceive. In the strength of togetherness we recorded Over 200 Scopus indexed publications last year at the time of closing assembly. I am confident that we are more than able also in harmony, diligence and faith to double this feat in the year of our Dominion 2019.”
He, therefore welcomed all afresh into the New Year filled with awesome opportunities for demonstration of the divine and declared Dominion as well as limitless breakthroughs, which he emphasized, shall all be maximized by the grace of God.

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.
