TOWARDS A TOTAL GRADUATE PROGRAMME KICKS OFF
Preparatory to release her 2020 set of graduates to the world for positive impact, Landmark kicked off the Towards a Total Graduate (TTG) programme for the prospective graduands on Monday, 16th November 2020. Towards a Total Graduate (TTG) is a custom built programme of the University specially designed to prepare and package the final year students for their world as change agents with the capacity to break the barriers of limitation to their accomplishments. The two weeks programme was scheduled to hold between Monday 16th and 27th November 2020.
Performing the inauguration of the 2020 TTG on behalf of the Chancellor and Chairman Board of Regents BOR, Dr. David Oyedepo, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Adeniyi Olayanju welcomed the final year students to the event with high hopes for the event to deliver its benefits while the students make the most of the season. “On behalf of the Chancellor and Chairman, Board of Regents, Dr David Oyedepo, I welcome you all to this mountain of encounter. In the past 4-5 years now, our Faculty and Staff have dutifully impacted you with knowledge and you as individuals have tried as much as possible to acquire some skills. Also, your spiritual capacity has been built from the Chaplaincy platform. What you are going to be encountering on this ground are finishing and furnishing.
“I want to encourage you that in the next two weeks, you give a rapt attention to the teachings and the impartation that will be coming your way from both our internal and external facilitators. They are what will culminate into you becoming a generation of leaders and an army of reformers that the world is waiting for.”
In furtherance of his admonition to the students to make the most of the programme, Professor Olayanju, while emphasizing that their journey to the world of works is between them and their God, enthused that they should never take God out of their race because it is a walk with God that confers grace on them for directions and great accomplishments. He, therefore, congratulated them on the successful journey so far and wished them an impactful TTG programme.
Describing the programme earlier, the Registrar of the University, Miss Fola Oyinloye, revealed that the TTG is phenomenal in the University context noting that so many testimonies of blessedness have trailed the programme since its inauguration in 2006 towards the release of the first set of graduates at the Covenant University. While admonishing them to beware of the excitement of the season but focusing on what God has for them in their new beginning, Miss Oyinloye encouraged the students to see the programme as their own pre-Shiloh encounter where God will deliver to them nuggets for their future. ‘I am, therefore, confident that when you will look back 10, 20, 30 years from today, you will all thank God and your parents for sending you to Landmark University, as well as the Chancellor who received the leading to put together this kind of programme for your profiting,’ she concluded.
To reinforce and register the importance of this programme in the hearts of the students, an oath of commitment was administered to them by the Legal Officer, Barr. Funmilayo Olatunji.

LANDMARK UNIVERSITY WELCOMES STUDENTS TO THE 2024 2025 ACADEMIC SESSION WITH A RENEWED VISION FOR EXCELLENCE
On Thursday, October 3rd, 2024, Landmark University welcomed her returning students for the commencement of the 2024-2025 academic session. The vibrant campus came to life as students made their way through the university gates, which had opened on Monday, September 30th. The university community buzzed with anticipation for a new season of academic and personal growth.
During the Welcome Assembly, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Kolawole Ajanaku speaking on behalf of the Chancellor, Dr David Oyedepo and Pro-Chancellor, Pastor Mrs Faith Oyedepo warmly welcomed the students, expressing gratitude to God for the students’ safe return from various parts of the country. In his welcome address, he encouraged the student body to see the new session as an opportunity for introspection, urging them to reflect on the previous session and make decisions aimed at improving their academic performance in the new session.
Emphasizing the importance of discipline, the Vice-Chancellor reiterated Landmark University's firm stance on its attendance policy, assuring the students that this rule would continue to be upheld without compromise. He also called on them to approach their studies with prayer, diligence, and a willingness to seek help whenever needed—from God, the appropriate authority and even their peers. In his words, the university remains committed to its in loco parentis role, ensuring that any issues raised by students will be addressed promptly.
The Vice-Chancellor also outlined key dates for the academic year, starting with the commencement of lectures on Wednesday, October 2nd, 2024. Other significant events include the convocation ceremony for the 2023-2024 graduates on the 25th October, scheduled orientations, and the highly anticipated resumption of freshmen with activities that would culminate in their Welcome Assembly and Orientation Week, running from October 26th to November 1st, 2024. He also took the opportunity to introduce the management team for the new session.
Earlier, the Registrar, Engr Adebayo Ajala delivered his message of welcome, wishing the students renewed energy and enthusiasm for their academic pursuits. He encouraged them to remain focused and committed to achieving excellence, highlighting the role students play in cultivating an environment of distinction.
The Deans of Colleges also welcomed their respective students, inspiring them to strive for academic excellence with unwavering dedication. They reminded them of the importance of acknowledging God in their endeavors, noting that success is incomplete without the divine factor.
The Chaplain’s exhortation, titled "Connecting with Help from Above for Exploits," added a spiritual dimension to the day’s proceedings. He emphasized that exploits are not confined by age, size, or background. Quoting the Chancellor, he said, "To ask for help is not weakness, but wisdom." The Chaplain, Pastor Joshua Popoola further explained that while intellectual effort is essential, it must be complemented by divine support for lasting success. In closing, the Chaplain encouraged the students to engage in prayer and seek guidance from lecturers and colleagues when needed. He reassured them that the university’s royal laws, often seen as strict, are designed not to punish but to refine those who choose to embrace them. He also admonished that "Missing lectures and neglecting to study," he cautioned, "are forms of bypassing the process to academic excellence."
With the blend of academic, spiritual, and moral guidance provided, Landmark University’s 2024-2025 academic session promises to be a journey of learning, growth, and impactful achievements. The university remains steadfast in its commitment to shaping a generation of leaders equipped with the knowledge and values needed to transform their world.
