LANDMARK WELCOMES STUDENTS BACK TO CAMPUS FROM CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR BREAK
On January 7, 8 and 9, 2023, students who had been away for the 2022 Christmas and New Year holidays returned to the Landmark University campus. The Management, under the direction of Vice-Chancellor Professor Charity Aremu, put in place an improved framework to guarantee a secure and smooth reception for the students to be settled for academic activities.
The Vice-Chancellor spoke about the procedure and expressed his tremendous happiness at the number of students who were coming back to campus. She remarked that it was heartwarming to see the excitement of faculty, staff, parents and all stakeholders, as regards the seamless resumption protocols, adding that in the multitude of people is the king's honour. The Vice-Chancellor further mentioned that the resuming protocol represented a paradigm shift, particularly in comparison to the COVID-19 pandemic period, which informed how students were received at the university gate. She claimed that management will constantly work with its think tank to enhance the convenience of its student resumption protocol. She claimed that the institution's top priority when preparing for the resumption of these students was to minimize the number of disciplinary proceedings linked to their use of contrabands. As a result, she voiced confidence in the system's ability to achieve great success.
Corroborating the Vice-Chancellor, the Registrar, Mr Olushola Oyinloye, asserted that the network of activities was hitch-free, noting the impact of the improvement on students’ resumption modalities. Mr Oyinloye explained that the choice of the multipurpose hall as the reception point made the process the most convivial and desirable by the students and their parents especially those who were coming for the first time to experience the amazing Landmark University campus. He concluded by thanking God for the success of the process.
Also speaking, the Dean of Students, Dr Razaq Animashaun appreciated the management of the University for the review of the resumption process, noting that it was a step in the right direction towards the satisfaction of both the students and their parents.
Some of the students who shared their views on the process applauded the school management for the recent change, which they claimed had brought the procedure more order. They said they were not surprised at the new process because the school is bound to always break new ground.
Moreover, some parents who experienced the previous students’ resumption procedure applauded the management for handling it differently, reassuring them that the University prioritizes its customers. Others who had never before interacted with the University gave their perspectives on the institution and its processes. Mr Solomon Moses whose son just got admitted into the University for Mechatronics Engineering commended the management on the rules and regulations put in place to facilitate a beautiful and unpolluted campus conducive for learning. Mr Richard Ajibare noted his confidence in the University not to mismanage its students with the level of improvement in the reception process, but to produce graduates that would be catalysts for the desired change in the nation amid prevalent decadence. He, therefore, advised students to endeavour to be guided by the rules and regulations of the school which he said were to assist them in their becoming better individuals and good ambassadors of the institution.

LANDMARK UNIVERSITYS LIFE APPLICABLE EDUCATION SYSTEM RECOGNIZED AS MAX AFRICA LAUNCHES INTERNSHIP PROGRAMME
Landmark University's distinctive approach to education, centred on life-applicable and life-transforming learning, received validation this week when representatives from MAX Africa visited the institution to seek collaboration for their second internship program. The visit underscored the high regard organizations have for Landmark’s graduates, known for their competence and productivity in the workplace.
During the meeting, MAX Africa's Chief Technology Officer, Mr Olusegun Leigh, unveiled the company’s new internship initiative designed to empower young innovators and leaders in Africa’s mobility sector. Leigh expressed admiration for Landmark University’s alumni, who, he noted, have consistently demonstrated exceptional dedication, resilience, and leadership within MAX Africa. He introduced Mr Kefas El-Olam, a graduate of Landmark University who is the Senior Product Manager, MAX. "Our first point of call for this new phase is Landmark University, primarily because of the exceptional value delivered by Landmark graduates who joined us in the first phase of the internship programme. Their resilience, ability to drive results, and leadership qualities have made a lasting impression," Leigh said, emphasizing how these qualities align with MAX Africa’s mission to address broader industry challenges by cultivating skilled professionals across the continent.
Adding to this, MAX Africa’s Digital Strategist, Mr Adewunmi Oshilaja, highlighted the soft skills and professionalism of Landmark’s graduates. “Beyond technical expertise, Landmark graduates have displayed strong leadership qualities and high standards of professionalism,” he stated. "The core of our strategy is to build well-rounded leaders. As much as we want our interns to gain hands-on experience, we are also committed to equipping them with skills in business communication, team management, and workplace etiquette.”
The upcoming three-month internship program was further detailed by MAX Africa's Human Resource Manager, Mrs Bosede Otaigbe, who described it as a transformative opportunity for participants. She noted that interns would receive intensive training in both technical and interpersonal skills vital for industry success. “Interns will be assigned responsibilities similar to full-time employees and will be evaluated at the end of the program. Those who excel will be offered full-time positions,” she announced. To facilitate applications, MAX Africa has provided QR codes for interested students, who will undergo a thorough screening process to ensure that only the most qualified candidates are selected.
In response, the Vice-Chancellor of Landmark University expressed appreciation to MAX Africa for recognizing the university’s talents and choosing Landmark as a major recruitment partner. He attributed the leadership qualities displayed by students to the legacy of Chancellor Dr David Oyedepo and affirmed the university’s confidence in the students' readiness to embrace this opportunity. He also highlighted Landmark University’s recent recognition as Nigeria's second-best university in the Times Higher Education rankings, further showcasing the institution’s commitment to excellence.
The Registrar also conveyed gratitude to the MAX Africa team and assured them of Landmark University's full support in achieving the program’s goals. Other members of the university’s management expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, seeing it as a significant step towards advancing opportunities for students, the university, and Africa at large.
