LANDMARK INAUGURATES TIMTEC AND OSBAM COMMITTEES
As part of the effort to promote the core values of responsibility and sacrifice among faculty and staff of the University thereby improving their productivity and efficiency within the system, the Landmark University Management inaugurated new members of the Timetable and Examination Committee (TIMTEC) and the Operation Subscription By All Means Committee (OSBAM) on Tuesday, 9th February 2020. They are to steer the ships of students’ academic activities and student subscription respectively.
At the inauguration, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Adeniyi Olayanju, was full of appreciation for such strategic committees, noting their significant contributions to the system since his appointment as Vice-Chancellor in 2017 to date. He reiterated the relevance of committees with efficient and committed members to the overall success of any organization and that Landmark is not an exemption. He, therefore, enthused members of the committees to sustainably improve their accomplishments and shun compromise in the discharge of their responsibilities towards fostering a robust academic system. While noting that every move of God is to move the people forward, he called for members’ unalloyed commitment to their assignments both primary and secondary.
Earlier speaking, the Registrar, Miss Fola Oyinloye had noted that bringing new members onboard was Management’s effort at rejigging committees for improved productivity. Presenting the committees to the Vice-Chancellor, the Registrar said that the two committees had always been made up of committed men and women of a great sense of responsibility and sacrifice. She, therefore, appreciated outgoing members of the committees while welcoming the new ones into the committees. Some of their terms of reference according to the Registrar were to ensure harmonious lecture and examination timetable with follow up and to identify a series of aggressive marketing strategies to propagate the uniqueness of Landmark University respectively.
Led by their respective Chairpersons, Dr Abiola Asaleye (TIMTEC) and Dr Adedoyin Lawal (OSBAM), the newly inaugurated committees, expressed readiness to serve on the committees with all sense of commitment to uphold the tenets and reputation of the University.

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.
