FRSC IS A GOOD PARTNER OF LMU - VC
The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Adeniyi Olayanju has reemphasized that the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) is a good partner in progress with Landmark University. He made this assertion on Thursday 31st, August 2017 when he received a team of FRSC Officials led by the Omu-Aran Unit Commander, ACC Adetunji Oluyinka.
While appreciating the courtesy visit of the FRSC team, Professor Olayanju noted that the role of the Commission in safeguarding lives of road users cannot be overemphasized. He further assured the team on the University’s total commitment towards driving partnership with the FRSC in the areas of capacity building, road safety awareness and mutually beneficial advising. “We expect that based on the cordial relationship between our two organizations, you will be kind enough to deal fairly with members of the University community in the course of discharging your duty.”
He however assured that the University Management would constitute Road Marshal Unit in due course after necessary arrangements to further drive the University’s commitment towards encouraging compliance with road safety regulations.
In his remarks, the Unit Commander ACC Adetunji Olayinka said that the visit was predicated on welcoming the Vice-Chancellor who assumed office recently. He expressed delight in the cordial relationship that exists between the Corp and Landmark University when he said: “FRSC gives priority to Landmark University in all ramifications because the University is a major stakeholder, so the Command cannot be careless in anything that affects the University.”
He noted further that there is a kind of synergy and interaction between FRSC and LMU, as the establishment of Road Safety Committee by the University is to further fine-tune this synergy in terms of safety operations.

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.
