LMU VC CALLS FOR DELIBERATE PURSUIT OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE AT TAIDOB
The Vice-Chancellor and the “Chief Marketing Officer” of Landmark University, Professor Adeniyi Olayanju has emphasized the need to deliberately pursue academic excellence towards self-reliance and self-sufficiency. He made this call while speaking at the TAIDOB’s 20th Graduation ceremony in Abeokuta on Tuesday, 17th July 2018.
As the Chairman of the occasion, the Vice-Chancellor stated that “Excellence is a quality of being outstanding; it is not a trait, hence it cannot be inherited. It comes with a price, only those who understand its worth can pay for it.” Delivering the speech titled, “TRANSISTING FROM COLLEGE TO HIGHER INSTITUTION: THE QUEST FOR ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE,” the Vice-Chancellor stimulated the graduands further that the reward of hard work is more work. He said that more than what they have done to complete a phase in their lives, greater work is required to successfully surmount future challenges that lie ahead of them in the pursuit of higher education. Professor Olayanju, therefore, highlighted the demands for a rewarding pursuit of academic excellence which included amongst others putting God first, prioritizing their primary assignment in school, setting a target to drive their passion, maintaining a high-level of discipline, staying focused on the goal, managing of time, and keeping the right company.
He said that Landmark University since inception occupies a significant position in the global education space to help her students achieve not only academic excellence but also all-round success through a specialized and holistic education system devoted to the spiritual, academic, moral, economic, and social development of the students, guaranteeing a life-transforming experience. “It is incumbent on well-meaning parents to send your wards to University like ours where cost-effective leadership training is guaranteed along with cutting-edge research engagement and Christian ethos. Our integrity is in line to give our parents a value for their investment on their wards,” he added.
The Presentation of the Professor Abayomi Oluwaseun Jiboku Foundation (AOJF) was made by the Director of Academics, Mr Obawumi Jiboku. Dignitaries at the graduation ceremony include the Distinguished Guest of Honour, Mrs. Modupe Mujota (the Honourable Commissioner, Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, Ogun State), the Guest Speaker, Barr.

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.
