The team of dedicated healthcare professionals from Landmark University, comprising doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and volunteers, worked tirelessly to dispense medical assistance to the community.

Declaring the event open, the Secretary to the Board of Regents of the institution, Pastor Dr Daniel Riotimi noted that the medical outreach served not only as a celebration of Pastor Mrs. Faith Oyedepo's legacy but also as a beacon of hope for communities striving for a healthier and brighter future. He highlighted salvation, faith in God and commitment to living a sin-free life as ways to access divine health and wholeness. He encouraged the community to draw closer to God as such was one of the legacies of the celebrant, Pastor Faith Oyedepo.
Earlier, the Vice-Chancellor of Landmark University, Professor Kolawole Ajanaku, had announced that the medical outreach aimed to commemorate Pastor Mrs Faith Oyedepo's commitment to humanitarian services and her unwavering dedication to community development. While emphasizing the importance of healthy living, he mentioned that the outreach would only take care of minor health challenges while other cases would be referred to the institution’s medical centre located on campus.

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.
