NIAE VISITS LMU, PLEDGES SUPPORT FOR THE UNIVERSITY’S AGRARIAN VISION
The executives of the Nigerian Institution of Agricultural Engineers (NIAE), Kwara State Chapter, paid a courtesy visit to Landmark University on Friday, 15th September 2017.
The team of engineers, comprising individuals from various agric-related institutions such as NCAM, NISPR, UNILORIN and KWASU were received at the Chancellor’s Boardroom by members of the University Management ably led by the Vice-Chancellor, Engr. Professor Adeniyi Olayanju.
The Vice-Chancellor, while welcoming them on behalf of the Chancellor, Dr David Oyedepo, reiterated the relevance of engineering to actualizing the agrarian vision of the University, stating that mechanization is essential to effectively explore the mother earth and totally restore the dignity of the black man. He said the vision of the University has been the very cynosure attracting well-meaning individuals and organizations both locally and internationally because of its global significance. He, therefore, assured the institution of the University’s commitment to advancing the frontiers of the agrarian vision through progressive collaboration.
The National Vice Chairman of NIAE, Engr (Dr) J. O. Olaoye, who led the team said their visit was informed by a bifocal goal which is to identify with the Vice-Chancellor – a member of NIAE – and the University, which has a vision that is in tandem with the mandate of their institution. Also, he said, “We believe so much that the choice of the proprietor to have Professor Olayanju at the helm of affairs of this University is for him to translate the vision into reality”.
The State Chairman of NIAE, Engr. (Dr.) O.A. Ogunjirin, in his own response, noted that the choice of the Vice-Chancellor has opened unlimited collaborative channels between the institution and Landmark University both locally and nationally. He, therefore, requested the Vice-Chancellor to be the Guest Speaker at their Convention at NCAM, Ilorin come November 2017.

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.
