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 has reaffirmed its position as a leader in Nigeria’s education sector by emerging as the Private University of the Year 2024 – Academic Development at the prestigious Nigeria Academic Excellence Awards (NAEA) on 8th December 2024 red carpet event in Lagos, Nigeria. Adding to this remarkable achievement, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Kolawole Ajanaku, was honoured as the Vice-Chancellor of the Year 2024 (Academic Development, Private University), underscoring his exemplary leadership in academia.
The NAEA, an annual event, is designed to celebrate and reward exceptional achievements within Nigeria’s education sector. It serves as a platform to recognize individuals and institutions that have demonstrated outstanding academic prowess, innovative leadership, and transformative impact on the nation’s educational landscape.
The organizers highlighted the core objectives of the awards: fostering a culture of continuous improvement, encouraging healthy competition, and elevating education standards across the country. The event showcased the remarkable accomplishments of students, educators, and institutions whose dedication is shaping the future of Nigeria’s education system.
Reflecting on the double recognition, Vice-Chancellor Professor Kolawole Ajanaku expressed his gratitude to the Landmark University proprietor under the Chairmanship of the Chancellor, Dr. David Oyedepo and the Pro-Chancellor, Pst (Mrs) Faith Oyedepo for the platform of Landmark University and their unwavering support. “This recognition is a celebration of our shared commitment to redefining education and creating transformative leaders for global impact,” he remarked. Professor Ajanaku also emphasized that these accolades underscore the university’s relentless pursuit of academic and operational excellence, as well as its focus on innovative practices and impactful research.

Its research efforts earned global recognition when it secured 2nd place in the 2025 THE Interdisciplinary Science Research Rankings. Additionally, Landmark University ranked 1st in Ethical Leadership across Sub-Saharan Africa in the 2024 THE Sub-Saharan Africa University Rankings.
A key driver of Landmark University’s success lies in its alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The university’s accomplishments are not limited to rankings; its graduates consistently excel in their professional endeavours. Employers have lauded their resilience, results-driven mindset, and leadership qualities, with many describing them as professionals who combine technical expertise with high standards of professionalism.

To God be all the glory.
