LANDMARK UNIVERSITY CELEBRATES CHANCELLOR AT 63, COMMISSIONS 30,000 CAPACITY LAYER PEN
On Wednesday, 27 September 2017, Landmark University community joined the rest of the world to celebrate her Chancellor and Chairman, Board of Regents, Dr. David Oyedepo on his 63rd birthday anniversary.
Series of activities to make the day memorable were rolled out by the University Management ably led by the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Adeniyi Olayanju. One of such event was the commissioning of the 30,000 capacity Automated Layer Pen at the University’s Commercial Farm to complement the existing 12,000 capacity which has been serving the poultry product to the University community and its environs in order to reach wider consumers.
Other events were the commissioning of the 3.5 KVA Solar Power Inverter System for the electrification of a section of the University Medical Centre, embarked upon by the 2016/2017 final-year students of the Electrical and Information Engineering Department (EIE); Visits to the Omu-Aran Medium Prison and the Oke-Igbala Leprosarium.
While speaking on the significance of the projects and the outreach to the celebration, the Vice-Chancellor stated that the projects are in tandem with the heartbeat of the icon being celebrated. He said that Dr. David Oyedepo is particularly passionate about restoring the dignity of the Black Man in particular and ensuring good living condition for humanity in general. This is being pursued through the God-given Liberation Commission that birthed Landmark University with a mandate to lead an agrarian revolution towards ensuring food security.
Professor Olayanju lauded the students’ academic milestone, noting its impact on the operations of the University Medical Centre. He added that the students’ action has validated the University’s mission of raising solution-providers who would rid the world of the myriad of challenges.
Later, the Landmark University Community Development Impact Initiative (LMUCDII) chaired by Dr. Abiodun Okunola, led the University delegates to Omu-Aran Medium Prison and Oke-Igbala Leprosarium to impact the communities through the provision of free medical services and presentation of gifts such as food items and toiletries. The Vice-Chancellor noted that the visits were in commemoration of the 63rd Birthday Anniversary of the Chancellor who God has given the liberation mandate to liberate the world from all oppressions. He urged the inmates not to lose hope. “God has used Dr. David Oyedepo the Chancellor of Landmark University to touch many lives and that is why we have come here today to celebrate his birthday with you. God can turn any situation around and this is what we have seen in several biblical accounts, as long as you as still breathing, please keep hoping for a change of story.”While encouraging the inmates not to lose touch with the reality in the outside world, Professor Olayanju further noted that the inmates should allow their experience to be a stepping stone to their dreams.
Dr. Abiodun Okunola during the presentation of gifts to the inmates on behalf of the University community noted that the Institution was mindful of the total wellbeing of the inmates, that is why the materials donated were careful selected and would continue to ensure that their welfare remains one of the top priorities in line with the Corporate Social Responsibilities of Landmark University.
The officials of the two establishments appreciated the University for her continuous visits, support, gift donations and for making them a choice for the 63rdBirthday Anniversary celebration of Dr. David Oyedepo.

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.
