A number of the unit supervisors and the acting business manager were awarded by the management of the Venture led by the Office of the Special Assistant to the Chancellor (SAC) on Thursday, 21st March, 2019. The award ceremony, as lined to commemorate the University’s 8th Founder’s Day, was graced by the Secretary Board of Regents, Barrister Temidayo Eseyin who congratulated the venture on such laudable initiative which he said would go a long way in enhancing the quality of service delivered to the University by the venture. While speaking to the entire members of the LMDV team, Barr. Eseyin noted that the award was not in the certificates and plaques given to the individuals but the fact that their contributions were recognized and God is taking record. He, however, charged that everyone is entitled to reward in the Landmark system. “Let us all know that Landmark is an arm of the ministry and everyone is a pastor in line for reward. At a time like this, not everyone can be capture for awards especially those whose works are not in the frontline. God who sees your secret contributions will reward you openly,” he noted.

In the same vein, don’t work for God, work with God and don’t go ahead of God, let him go ahead of you,” he added. He congratulated Dr (Mrs) Adebayo on the divine wisdom that has helped her so far.
