The 4th Convocation Ceremony of Landmark University
On Friday the 14th of July 2017, Landmark University released the Class of 2017 Pathfinders comprising 468 students amid the euphoria that filled the entire University campus, with very excited guests, parents of graduands and the entire community of Landmark University mustered at the Multipurpose Hall.
The Class of 2017 Pathfinders fondly called the Noble Set made the fourth Convocation Ceremony a reality. In the Vice-Chancellor’s Welcome Address, the graduands were “totally groomed to bring solutions to the challenges in the world.” The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Aize Obayan, noted the outstanding performances of the set both locally and globally which have brought remarkable recognition and accolades to the University. One of these included Oladiran Oluwatobi of the Accounting Department who emerged top 3 affiliates of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) in Nigeria. Oladiran had been previously certified by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) in his third year. Impressively, Oladiran led other 65 first-class degree graduates to emerge the Best Graduating student in the University with a Cumulative Grade Point Average of 4.88. Among other remarkable student achievements were 1st Position in the Global Students Entrepreneurship Award (Nigeria) gleaned by Kenechukwu Okafor and 1st and 2nd Positions in the Inter-University Oratory Competition by Adedoyin Adebola and Moyebi Temidayo (who was also the recipient of the 2017 Nigerian Society of Animal Production’s Academic Excellence Award in Animal Science Programme, Landmark University).
The Vice-Chancellor added that the Noble Set pioneered notable landmarks among which were the University’s certificate/diploma in agripreneurship programme, student leadership election electronically, the “Eden’s Experience” to facilitate the community’s social life and student leaders’ working and productive student farm. The Vice-Chancellor therefore charged them to continue to distinguish themselves by continuously impacting their world positively.
The University recorded an impressive academic excellence margin in the percentage of first-class, second-class and third-class degree recipients as compared to that of 2016. 66 students were in the 1st Class category, 252 were in the 2nd Class Upper category, while 146 were in the 2nd-Class Lower category and 4 in the 3rd Class category.

LANDMARK UNIVERSITY DELEGATES SECURE TOP AWARDS AT RUIMUN CONFERENCE
At the Tuesday 9th April 2024 Chapel Service of Landmark University, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Kolawole Ajanaku congratulated the Landmark University student delegates who distinguished themselves by their Top-Award milestones at the Redeemer’s University Model United Nations (RUIMUN) Conference held from March 25th to 29th, 2024. He described their performances as a remarkable display of leadership skills, representative of their institution’s commitment to academic excellence and global citizenship. While encouraging other students to emulate them, he gave the outstanding students warm handshakes which were followed by a declaration of blessings upon them.
The conference, with the theme "Peace Prosperity and Sustainability: A Call to Action," attracted delegates from various tertiary institutions in Nigeria to deliberate on pressing global issues ranging from social and human rights issues to economic and financial challenges. Guided by the theme, delegates delved into the complexities of global affairs, proposing innovative solutions towards addressing the issues facing their respective nations. The Landmark University students’ exceptional performance earned them the title of “The Outstanding Delegation” among all participating institutions. King Ayodeji Oluwatobi distinguished himself as the “Best Delegate” from the United Nations Security Council Committee and was awarded the “Overall Best Delegate of the RUIMUN Conference,” an award which secured him full sponsorship to attend the Ghana Model United Nations Conference later in the year.
The Conference afforded delegates the opportunity to embark on an excursion to explore the cultural heritage of the indigenous people of Osun State at the National Commission for Museums and Monuments, Oshogbo, enriching their understanding of history and cultural practices.
The moment of celebration of these students who made the University proud was memorable and inspiring for the Landmark University Community.
