GREAT EXPECTATIONS FOR STUDENTS AS LANDMARK UNIVERSITY HOSTS UNITED NATIONS ENGR. FOLARANMI
Landmark University’s Vision of raising an army of world-class leaders was again reinforced for better positioning in the global education circle as the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Adeniyi Olayanju and some members of Management hosted Engr. Gabriel Folaranmi, from the United Nation’s Office, South Sudan, on Monday 8th January, 2018.
The Vice-Chancellor in his remarks, expressed confidence in the deliverables of the University’s quest for collaborations in the aspect of career development, agricultural mechanization strategies, automobile repairs and maintenance among others to enhance staff and students’ experience.
He described Our United Nation Volunteer’s Guest, Engr. Gabriel Folaranmi as a seasoned Engineer, invited to Landmark University to interact with the students via a career development talk session towards preparing them for the future with regards to international jobs and internship opportunities. While narrating the encounter that brought them together, Professor Olayanju applauded Engr. Folaranmi’s doggedness and foresight on the innovation of an Ultra-modern Rice Thresher while the Engrineer was working with the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan.
The Vice-Chancellor further noted that Engr. Folaranmi’s rise to his present destination was as a result of hard work, positive attitude and fear of God. The Vice-Chancellor therefore stated that he would not only be impacting the students of the University but also adding value to the agrarian vision of the University through his experience in Agricultural Mechanization.
Engr. Gabriel Folaranmi in his remarks appreciated the sagacity of the University Proprietor Base and Management in raising an army of global leaders who would be panaceas to world’s immediate and future challenges most specifically food insecurity which is a major focus of the MDGs and SDGs of the United Nations. He noted that his invitation was borne out of Management’s unremitting commitment to helping the students launch their careers on unlimited platforms and enhance their employability status.
He further stated that his interaction with the Students would expose them to international internship and employment opportunities specifically in the United Nations where they would hone their skills and translate their classroom experiences to solutions. He therefore lauded the University’s vision of agrarian revolution which he said was a well-defined focus in the global trends.

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.
