LANDMARK VC CALLS FOR CONTINUED SUPPORT TOWARDS VISION ACTUALIZATION
On Friday 28th May 2021, the Vice-Chancellor, Landmark University, Professor Adeniyi Olayanju enjoined faculty and staff to give the university management their unremitting support towards the realisation of the vision of the University as the 2020/2021 Omega semester commenced. He said, “Alone, we can do so little, together we do so much. Let’s, therefore, set out this semester more resolutely on the wheels of teamwork and collaboration towards actualizing our overarching mandate.”
He made the call as the Landmark University community converged at the International Conference Centre and the SDGs Exhibition Centre for the maiden Friday Faculty Fellowship in the 2020/2021 Omega Semester after recounting the University’s engagements in line with its tripodal mandate within the 2020/2021 Alpha semester, noting that all accomplishments were collectively attained. Prominent amongst these accomplishments were the successful completion of the Alpha semester examinations, graduation of 1st set of PhD students from the School of Postgraduate Studies who are also members of faculty in the University, face-lifting of the SDGs Exhibition Centre, accreditation visit to the University by COREN and NIAS. He further noted that the University has been a cynosure of excellence, noting the collaboration interest it has received in recent time from relevant institutions. The Vice-Chancellor, therefore, reiterated the University’s commitment to its mandate of teaching, research and community development, noting that it is the gateway to attaining world-class status.
The Registrar, Miss Fola Oyinloye, who made the 2020/2021 Omega semester announcement, reminded faculty and staff of their responsibilities and expected service delivery geared towards improvement in students’ welfare drive and academic performance.
While dwelling on the Commission’s Prophetic Focus of the month of May, (Thanksgiving preserves, multiplies and perfects our blessings), the Chaplain, Pastor Tope Johnson, exhorted the community to be thankful to God for their present positions, stressing that it is ingratitude that makes one to belittle God’s act in life, adding that no act of God must be taken for granted. He said thanksgiving is an avenue to assessing one’s next level of blessings. He, therefore, led the community into a session of praise to appreciate God for His wonderful works in the lives of the members of the University community.

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.
