LANDMARK MANAGEMENT CALLS FOR RESEARCH PUBLICATION AND RANKING MODEL REEVALUATION TOWARDS ATTAINMENT OF WORLD CLASS STATUS
The management of Landmark, ably led by the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Adeniyi Olayanju, on Tuesday, 11th August 2020, called for a re-evaluation of the University’s research, publication and ranking model with a view to accelerating the pace towards the realization of her academic goals.
At the Maiden Webinar of Landmark University Centre for Research, Innovations and Discoveries (LUCRID) entitled "Research, Publication and Ranking: A Re-assessment of Landmark Model", the Vice-Chancellor, against the backdrop of the current reality, reiterated the importance of the reevaluation of the model set at the 2017/2018 executive advance for faculty and staff, noting that it would be apt for reawakening of the University community to its responsibilities. He, therefore, tasked all members of management to update their roadmap documents for re-presentation to the University at the newly established weekly seminar under the auspices of the LUCRID.
Presenting his paper, the Vice-Chancellor emphasized the importance of benchmarking the University with other universities locally and globally. He noted that Landmark is faring well in the comity of universities in Kwara State and Nigeria based on her performance in research publications in Scopus-indexed journals, adding that among top 500 Nigerian authors ranking recently a total of 18 were from Landmark University. He said that beyond the variables of concentration of talents, abundant resources and favourable governance which are considered for world universities ranking, the University needs to scale up her efforts at delivering Covenant plus (+) output as envisaged. He remarked that the University’s model was in line with Covenant’s ReCITE Agenda which prioritizes Teaching, Research, Citation, and Innovation in the 30, 30, 30 and 10 percentage order respectively.
He, therefore, reiterated the University’s commitment to pursuing her world-class status goal through ensuring standard infrastructural facilities, building a strong academic structure and administrative base. Other ways included building strong research culture, ensuring impactful research and development, and remaining focused as a full agripreneurship and self-sustaining university
While welcoming the University community to the webinar, the Registrar, Miss Fola Oyinloye had remarked that reevaluations are indicators of progress and that the webinar was designed to move the University forward. She congratulated the University community on the vision-driven proprietor base, led by the Chancellor, Dr David Oyedepo for the divine direction which propels the operations of the University culminating in the giant strides that characterized her existence.

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.
