On 14th January 2016, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Aize Obayan hosted a team of the Kwara State Internal Revenue Service (KWIRS) who came to pay a courtesy visit to the University.
Professor Obayan in her remarks identified financial services platform and its related units as very vital sector in the society as she charges government at all levels to look into different ways of driving a viable economy through revenue generation. She noted that the Nation would only do better if every sector can pay attention to that direction, stressing that Nigeria needed better infrastructure and welfare packages which can only adequately be realized through revenue generation. She further stressed the need for sincerity on the path of government in utilizing revenues generated through taxes, adding that the burden however should not be placed on the government alone, but public private partnership should also be encouraged by the sector. She urged them to explore other sectors of the economy in collaboration with the traditional rulers while encouraging them to play down on the Non-Governmental Organizations and Private Education Sector in other to encourage people to invest in such areas. She affirmed the institution's Zero tolerance to unethical behaviors saying “Landmark being a responsible corporate entity is working to ensure that they make bold statement against anything unethical ranging from examination malpractices to tax evasion and other vices."
The leader of the team KWIRS Mrs. Adebola Oyeyiola said the visit by the team was to appreciate the compliance of the institution in paying their taxes. She urged other organizations and establishments to emulate 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.

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.
