TEN PROGRAMMES OF LANDMARK RETURN ACCREDITTED BY NUC
The National Universities Commission (NUC) has accredited three new programmes and reaccredited seven existing programmes. In all, ten programmes presented for the accreditation during the October/November 2021 and March 2022 return accredited. The programmes include Computer Science, Biochemistry, Food Science and Nutrition, Mathematics, Physics, Economics, Mass Communication, Political Science, Sociology and Mechatronics Engineering.
According to the letter from the Commission’s Executive Secretary, Professor Abubakar Abdulrasheed, signed by the Director of Accreditation, Dr Maryam Sali, only Mechatronics returned with interim accreditation. In furtherance of this, the full accreditation status takes immediate effect and shall be valid for a period of five (5) years – between 2021 and 2026 while the interim would be valid for 2 years. Meanwhile, the technical report of the results revealed that the programmes were not only adequately equipped with up-to-date facilities but also founded on outstanding philosophies which contributed to their high-level performance during the accreditation.
While relaying the good news to the University community at the Tuesday Chapel Service on May 24, 2022, the Ag. Vice-Chancellor Professor Charity Aremu acknowledged God as the One behind the attainment of the feats recorded in the University in recent time. Professor Charity Aremu also appreciated the Proprietor base for creating an enabling ambience for qualitative education. She, thereafter, urged Faculty and Staff to remain committed to giving God thanks always as well as to their responsibilities in order to sustain the success.
The University community appreciated God in songs of praise and dance to God after the announcement. To God alone be all the glory.

Landmark University has reaffirmed its position as a leader in Nigeria’s education sector by emerging as the Private University of the Year 2024 – Academic Development at the prestigious Nigeria Academic Excellence Awards (NAEA) on 8th December 2024 red carpet event in Lagos, Nigeria. Adding to this remarkable achievement, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Kolawole Ajanaku, was honoured as the Vice-Chancellor of the Year 2024 (Academic Development, Private University), underscoring his exemplary leadership in academia.
The NAEA, an annual event, is designed to celebrate and reward exceptional achievements within Nigeria’s education sector. It serves as a platform to recognize individuals and institutions that have demonstrated outstanding academic prowess, innovative leadership, and transformative impact on the nation’s educational landscape.
The organizers highlighted the core objectives of the awards: fostering a culture of continuous improvement, encouraging healthy competition, and elevating education standards across the country. The event showcased the remarkable accomplishments of students, educators, and institutions whose dedication is shaping the future of Nigeria’s education system.
Reflecting on the double recognition, Vice-Chancellor Professor Kolawole Ajanaku expressed his gratitude to the Landmark University proprietor under the Chairmanship of the Chancellor, Dr. David Oyedepo and the Pro-Chancellor, Pst (Mrs) Faith Oyedepo for the platform of Landmark University and their unwavering support. “This recognition is a celebration of our shared commitment to redefining education and creating transformative leaders for global impact,” he remarked. Professor Ajanaku also emphasized that these accolades underscore the university’s relentless pursuit of academic and operational excellence, as well as its focus on innovative practices and impactful research.
Landmark University’s stellar performance on the global and regional stage further cements its reputation for excellence.

Its research efforts earned global recognition when it secured 2nd place in the 2025 THE Interdisciplinary Science Research Rankings. Additionally, Landmark University ranked 1st in Ethical Leadership across Sub-Saharan Africa in the 2024 THE Sub-Saharan Africa University Rankings.
A key driver of Landmark University’s success lies in its alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
