LANDMARK EXPLORES WIMLEAD CONFERENCE 2021
Ten distinguished women across Landmark University community attended the 2021 Women in Management and Leadership (WIMLEAD) Conference virtually between Wednesday 28 and Thursday 29, 2021. Themed “Leading through Challenging Times”, the conference organized by the Nigerian Institute of Management reinforced the importance of building capacity for women leaders.
In her opening address at the conference, the President and Chairman of Council of the Institute, Mrs Patience Ehizogie Anabor, FNIM, who declared the conference open, emphasized the role of women in all areas of human endeavours ranging from the home front to academia, politics, business, corporate world, public and private establishments among others while encouraging them to prepare for the unlimited opportunities that await them in society.
According to Dr Ibilola Amao (Principal Consultant, Lonadek Global Services), who made the lead presentation titled “Leadership: Leading through hard times”, building leadership capacity is required to translate vision into reality, noting that leadership is a practical skill encompassing the ability of an individual, group or organization to influence or guide other individuals to achieve something significant. She added that the leadership journey is in stages which include the ability to achieve goals in time (success), getting out of comfort zone (stretch), mentoring role model (support system), discipline/determination/smart work/learning/development (structure).
In the same vein, the second presentation titled “Family Ties: Opportunity or Obstacle for Women in Leadership” and delivered by Dr Maryam Abdu was designed towards helping women balance the demands of workplace and family thereby scaling the huddles of leadership.
The third presentation with the title “Dealing with Workplace Negativity” was delivered by Mrs Deborah David which stimulated participants to develop a strong resistance to a toxic workplace environment.
The conference concluded with the opportunity for participants to share their experiences which further drew comments and answers to challenges they might have in their leadership roles.
Participants from Landmark University were led by the Registrar, Miss Fola Oyinloye. Others included the Dean, SPS, Prof Charity Aremu; Dr Olamide Oyewole; Dr Olayinka Alabi; Dr Adejumoke Inyinbor; Dr Olusola Akanmode; Mrs Christy Ndako; Mrs Kemi Ilesanmi; Mrs Felicia Oluyori; and Mrs Fisayo Olawepo.

CHANCELLOR CHARGES STUDENTS ON TIME MANAGEMENT AS THEY EMBARK ON HOLIDAYS
The Chancellor, Dr David Oyedepo has enthused students of Landmark University to spend the 2023/2024 Omega semester holiday wisely. He gave the admonition during the 2023/2024 Omega semester Closing assembly organized by the management on Friday, July 19, 2024.
During his address, the Chancellor, Dr. David Oyedepo, underscored the importance of time management, emphasizing that while everyone possesses the same 24 hours, the difference lies in how it is utilized. He attributed the challenges faced by many youths to unproductive time management and urged the students to embrace every vacation as an opportunity for personal growth.
“This is your era of preparation for future success,” Dr. Oyedepo asserted. “Fill your time with productive engagements.” He also commended the faculty and staff for their dedication to mentoring and impacting the lives of the students. He, therefore, declared God’s blessing upon the University community.
The closing assembly also featured inspiring addresses from key university officials, with a strong emphasis on time management and personal development. Earlier in the assembly, the Secretary to the Board of Regents, Pastor (Dr) Daniel Rotimi highlighted the significance of gratitude, urging the university community to thank God for all the achievements during the 2023/2024 academic year. Drawing inspiration from 1 Peter 2:9, he reminded the students of their identity as children of God and encouraged them to embrace their status as kings and queens. He also extended appreciation to the proprietors and the Board of Regents for their unwavering commitment to the university’s development.
The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Kolawole Ajanaku, represented by his Deputy, Professor John Ojediran, congratulated the students on successfully completing the Omega semester, marking the end of the academic session. He recapped notable events of the year, including the university's impressive position in the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings, student development activities like TEDx, the Legacy Conference of LMU student leaders, the Chancellor’s Cup, and the career fair among others. He also highlighted awards received by both staff and students, strategic collaborations to advance the university's vision, and the promotion of academic staff. While looking ahead, he outlined events to conclude the session most especially the "Towards a Total Graduate"—a custom course for the graduating class. He advised non-graduating students embarking on holidays to maximize their time by engaging in productive activities. In his closing remarks, the Vice-Chancellor thanked the management, staff, and students for their contributions to Landmark University's success during the academic year. While wishing the students a safe journey to their various homes, the Vice-Chancellor reaffirmed the University’s continuous commitment to holistic student development and academic excellence.
The Dean, the College of Pure and Applied Sciences, Professor Ayodele Adebiyi gave his goodwill message on behalf of other college deans, bidding their students a safe journey home.
In the course of the event, the 2024/2025 Landmark University Student Council members were unveiled by the Dean of Students Affairs, Dr Abimbola Oluyori. The Chaplain blessed them, commissioning them for the task ahead in the coming academic year.
