LMU VC DELIVERS KEYNOTE SPEECH AT KWASU ENTREPRENEURSHIP CONFERENCE
The Vice Chancellor of Landmark University, Professor Adeniyi Olayanju delivered a Key note speech at the Opening Ceremony of the 8th International Conference on Entrepreneurship management and Innovation, 2019 at Kwara State University, Malete on Monday, 1st July 2019.
The speech titled “Tertiary Institutions-Industry-Government Collaborations (Triple-Helix Model); Key to Entrepreneurship, Economic and Social Development” reiterates the meaning, scope and importance of entrepreneurship in a nation’s economic development. He states that it is imperative to shift from mere invention to innovation to engender national development. This can be achieved through the creation of value-chains on engineering products from production to marketing, strengthening town-gown synergistic relationship and glocalisation of research products. Prof. Olayanju further emphasis that in the training of students and generating theoretical knowledge, tertiary institutions should be able to transfer their knowledge to the relevant sectors so that it is used efficiently within the economy. Also within the triple-helix model, government has a facilitator role, through the regulatory and policy framework that facilitates synergy between industry and university.
The event which also doubles as an avenue to celebrate the contributions of KWASU pragmatic Vice-Chancellor, Professor Abdulrasheed Na’Allah who has been newly appointed as the Vice-Chancellor of University of Abuja witnessed dignitaries like the Vice-Chancellor of Alikmah University, Professor Taofik Ibrahim, KWASU DVC Admin, Professor S.

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.
