LANDMARK UNIVERSITY INAUGURATES STUDENTS' LEADERSHIP ELECTORAL COMMITTEE
On Thursday the 26th of April, 2016, the Management of Landmark University led by the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Aize Obayan, inaugurated the Students’ Leadership Electoral Committee (LUSLEC) to oversee the conduct of election for the student body. This is in line with the University’s vision of a balanced academic environment where students are adequately equipped with the capacity for national development.
The ten-man Committee is expected to be in-charge of the organization of election beginning from the nomination of candidates to the declaration of election results. The neutral body which is saddled with the responsibilities of interpretations of electoral regulations, screening of candidates and overseeing the collation of election results will also work in accordance with the prescribed electoral regulations as provided by the University Management. The Committee is expected to drive responsibility, discipline, transparency and equity as it prepares the students for the future.
The Committee members comprised Faculty members from the three Colleges, the Student Affairs Directorate, the Alumni base, the Student Council, the Chaplaincy, Security and Registry to ensure fair representation and delivery.
Inaugurating LUSLEC, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Aize Obayan who recognized leadership gaps as one of the banes of development in Africa said that much is needed to be done to raise global leaders; hence the action taken by the Management to raise total men who will be at the centre of national events in no distant time. “This is driving the pathway of innovation, if we have to become global leaders indeed; we have to understand the principles and process of making one.” She further admonished the Committee members to deliver that which they are sent to do. “It comes with a lot of responsibilities, and commitment and team work to institute best practices in driving historical plans,” she added. The Vice-Chancellor later led other members of Management to administer the oath of office to the members of the Committee to launch them to their duties.
On behalf of other Committee members, the Chairperson, Pastor James Ndako, thanked God and the Management for the privilege to serve, while he pledged that the Committee would be fair and objective, promising not to compromise and work with time.
Highlight of the inauguration was the presentation of the Landmark University Student Leadership Electioneering Process Manual to the Committee.

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.
