This initiative, is a way of making the impact of the University’s Agrarian Revolution Mandate felt by Ilorin community and environs, and especially towards combating food insecurity.
During the commissioning, the BOR Secretary noted that the essence of opening Ilorin sales outlet was to further reach out to a larger population. “Until people feel your impact, whatever you are doing is theory.

Besides, this move will serve to bring our products closer to some of our customers in and around Ilorin metropolis. We can guarantee steady supply of products to our customers across the nation through this outlet as even more of this will be opened to meet the growing demand of our products.
“One thing among others that distinguish us as a people is our quest for excellence, as being resonated in our academic, research, and agripreneurial output. Our uncompromising stance for quality assurance and global best practice continues to give us competitive advantage. Credit is humbly given to our dear Chancellor, Dr. David Oyedepo, at this juncture, for his ceaseless support and inspiring charge that keep us forging ahead towards actualizing the agrarian vision of the University.”
He added that LMU community has a firm resolution to give optimal satisfaction to customers, as the institution has not only what it takes to be in business but also to be on the lead excellently, epitomizing the proprietor base.
The Farm Consultant, Pastor Debo Onafowora reitrated1 that the opening of the Sales Outlet is to capture Ilorin metropolis, which according to him would open bigger opportunity for the Farm. He also noted that the outlet would be in full operation 7 days a week as quality fresh products such as Eggs, Garri, Fufu, Rice, Elubo-Lafun, Cassava and Plantain Flour, Chicken, Smoked Fish, Gizzards and many more are available for sales.

CHANCELLOR CHARGES STUDENTS ON TIME MANAGEMENT AS THEY EMBARK ON HOLIDAYS
The Chancellor, Dr David Oyedepo has enthused students of Landmark University to spend the 2023/2024 Omega semester holiday wisely. He gave the admonition during the 2023/2024 Omega semester Closing assembly organized by the management on Friday, July 19, 2024.
During his address, the Chancellor, Dr. David Oyedepo, underscored the importance of time management, emphasizing that while everyone possesses the same 24 hours, the difference lies in how it is utilized. He attributed the challenges faced by many youths to unproductive time management and urged the students to embrace every vacation as an opportunity for personal growth.
“This is your era of preparation for future success,” Dr. Oyedepo asserted. “Fill your time with productive engagements.” He also commended the faculty and staff for their dedication to mentoring and impacting the lives of the students. He, therefore, declared God’s blessing upon the University community.
The closing assembly also featured inspiring addresses from key university officials, with a strong emphasis on time management and personal development. Earlier in the assembly, the Secretary to the Board of Regents, Pastor (Dr) Daniel Rotimi highlighted the significance of gratitude, urging the university community to thank God for all the achievements during the 2023/2024 academic year. Drawing inspiration from 1 Peter 2:9, he reminded the students of their identity as children of God and encouraged them to embrace their status as kings and queens. He also extended appreciation to the proprietors and the Board of Regents for their unwavering commitment to the university’s development.
The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Kolawole Ajanaku, represented by his Deputy, Professor John Ojediran, congratulated the students on successfully completing the Omega semester, marking the end of the academic session. He recapped notable events of the year, including the university's impressive position in the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings, student development activities like TEDx, the Legacy Conference of LMU student leaders, the Chancellor’s Cup, and the career fair among others. He also highlighted awards received by both staff and students, strategic collaborations to advance the university's vision, and the promotion of academic staff. While looking ahead, he outlined events to conclude the session most especially the "Towards a Total Graduate"—a custom course for the graduating class. He advised non-graduating students embarking on holidays to maximize their time by engaging in productive activities. In his closing remarks, the Vice-Chancellor thanked the management, staff, and students for their contributions to Landmark University's success during the academic year. While wishing the students a safe journey to their various homes, the Vice-Chancellor reaffirmed the University’s continuous commitment to holistic student development and academic excellence.
The Dean, the College of Pure and Applied Sciences, Professor Ayodele Adebiyi gave his goodwill message on behalf of other college deans, bidding their students a safe journey home.
In the course of the event, the 2024/2025 Landmark University Student Council members were unveiled by the Dean of Students Affairs, Dr Abimbola Oluyori. The Chaplain blessed them, commissioning them for the task ahead in the coming academic year.
